## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this light fixture mountable?**
A: Yes.  Zoo Med makes a pair of mounting brackets.  I could only find it on their website.  LF-T5B – Mounting Brackets for T5HO Fixtures.

**Q: Can this be zip tied to the underside of a screen cover on a terrarium? I would rather the screen not block any of the uvb!**
A: I think it could be zip tied, I used velcro to hang them up in my nedosha plastic cages.  I get about 3.2 to 3.5 at 12" on my uv meter out of a 5.0 t5 HO reptisun bulb.  I also have some of these lights on top of screen reptibreeze cages and get nearly the same readings 3.0 to 3.4 at approximately 12 inches.

**Q: Can this fixture sit on top of screen lid? Instead of being placed inside of the habitat!**
A: So this fixture is actually intended for just that purpose. Doesnt have any premanufactured way to hang it inside or be suspended above a cage so right on the screen top is where it's intended to sit.

**Q: Does it fit ok on top of an Exoterra 18"x18" terrarium?**
A: Yeah but might come broken

Awesome low-profile uvb! Works great for my leopard gecko!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great
*by N***R on June 13, 2024*

Out of the box it wasn't working I was concerned that the lamp had been damaged in transit but as it turns out whoever put the light in put it in backwards. Once I got it turns around worked like a charm. I'm using this for a paludarium for white tree frogs and it is the perfect size with plenty of space on each side on the top of the enclosure. (Enclosure is 18inch wide) easy to change the bulb but you do need to be gentle so you don't damage the prongs.
