## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is this light good for before needing to be replaced? i know some uva/uvb lights only are effective for a certain number of hours.**
A: Most need to be changed every 6 mos. Arcadia brand bulbs recommend replacing every 12 months. Check their website.

**Q: what is the nm wavelength range?**
A: Don’t buy the bulb from Amazon, no one packages it right and it will just arrive broken

**Q: Will it fit a 14” hood??**
A: Yes. All the hoods for these bulbs are about 2 inches bigger..

**Q: how many times it must be change? soes it last more then 6 months?**
A: From all that I have read, UVB output is not adequate after 6 months. I change my Zoomed bulbs every 6 months. I believe the Arcadia brand bulbs last longer (1 year). Check out their website.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great!
*by L***Y on December 9, 2023*

I bought this 12” Zoo Med T5 UVB bulb to go into my 12” Arcadia fixture and it fits perfectly! It has been so hard to find this size T5 bulb available so I am very glad it was available through Amazon. My Ocellated Skink is very pleased with this bulb. There were a few shipping delays but it arrived very well packaged in multiple layers of bubble wrap in a box just fine.
