Zoo Med Nano Combo Dome Lamp Fixture, 80 Watt - (8"L x 4"W), LF-36

Good for small enclosed cage for reptiles

Zoo Med Nano Combo Dome Lamp Fixture, 40 Watts Per Socket $30.79A bit of a lengthy review of not just this fixture but the associated UVB and halogen bulbs...So these domes are very small. That's what I wanted personally but double check your measurements so you know what you're doing. That being said my current use case is on a standard 10 gallon aquarium tank, screen lid, kept furnished as a back up terrarium for quarantine, fussy baby snakes, or whathaveyou,. So I didn't want normal powered lights that would turn a small aquarium style tank into an oven and had previously been using a mish mash of bulbs looking for the sweet spot, and in two 8 domes which were a bulky nuisance for that enclosure. The Zoo Med mini 13 watt UVB bulb seemed good for the tank size, probably anything in the 13 watt range would be acceptable, but really needed 25, maybe 35, watt max for halogen. A mini sized double dome would likely be alright but then I'd need a socket extender to get the little nano halogen closer...Zoo Med's 35 watt nano halogen, and also Zilla's mini halogen which you can get in 25 watt but need an adapter to use in regular socket unless you use one of their specific fixtures, both get dangerously hot at close range even though they're lower wattage, but that heat quickly fades to nothing with some distance. Much narrower Goldilocks zone than with larger lights and fixtures. So fixture type, placement, and spacing are all pretty critical for good basking spot results with lower wattage in small enclosures. And this nano setup works out well for a short terrarium, and has a small footprint, and individual cords for timer use, and both individually switched, and it all feels well made.The nano UVB 5.0 that goes with this nano operation was surprisingly bright for being so tiny and low wattage. Not really bright, but bright for a tiny 9 watt CFL and feels fitting for the tank size. And doesn't put off much heat. I'm more worried about too much heat with an aquarium tank setup which is quite boxed in and garters, along with most reptiles, will just be less active if they get chilly which you can notice and correct with no real issues, but they can get seriously ill from being overheated.So I was running the nano UVB in this nano double dome for a day or so before my nano halogen arrived and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it worked out. Then the 35 watt nano halogen came and in this rather short nano fixture it seemed a bit warm and awfully close to the animal to me so I had a very wary eye on it but within 30 minutes or so of it being on... my little man Huggy, a 2 month old garter who was sequestered in the little tank at the time for being a reluctant eater and also very shy... anyway, he was right out basking. And he's incredibly skittish, rarely seen in the open, and I never even witnessed him basking before. So that's a huge win to get such a reaction from him.And for reference that tank has all the basic amenities and then some, but nothing is much over 3 inches tall. I made it that way initially because nobody's meant to stay's in there long term, and most sub adult or larger garters would be right up and out of there any time you so much as look at the lid if given too much climbing headway. But it works out well that there's no high basking area also.So I think this lighting is awesome for a standard 10 gallon as long as you're mindful not to put the basking spot too high. And it's just enough that you can get a bit of a hot side cool side gradient which is awesome because that's not easy in such a small tank. I also think it would be great for a 12x12x18 where you could make a vertical gradient and have room for some nice climbing area for a small critter with a higher basking spot. Any tall style terrariums bigger than that I'd go to mini or full sized domes and normal sized lights.Anything 12 or 18 tall that's long like a 15 gallon (12x12x20) or bigger I'd say this could be a useful fixture also but only if you run more than 2 lights. The nano UVB in such a small dome wouldn't cover enough of such a tank alone so I'd want at least a 13 watt mini UVB in a bigger dome for the main UVB. But you could use the 35 watt halogen in this nano dome for basking and have more vertical room to play with higher climbing areas before you ran into trouble. And you could use the other socket for the nano UVB as supplemental UVB or maybe a small full spectrum bulb, or a night light. So I'm 100 digging this little nano dome. No regrets and I want more now just to add auxiliary lighting to my bigger enclosures with the tiny footprint and individual cords and switches.But I feel like the 35 watt halogen is a little much for nano and I'm at the lowest range of it's use at 10 height with a 20 length enclosure so the heat can dissipate... for anything temperate or tropical anyway. Perhaps some desert dwellers would be ok with this in the really tiny terrariums or something. But I'd like to see a 25 watt, or maybe even 15 or 20 watt, halogen option for this to really cover all situations of truly tiny enclosures and even to be able to make a bit higher basking spot in such. And maybe a 13 watt nano UVB because a tank big enough to accommodate the 35 watt halogen is kind of at the point you'd want to roll with a 13 watt UVB.And it would also be cool to have that 35 watt halogen bulb with a longer neck option for use in mini double domes or 8 dome fixtures. It fills a much needed niche for situations where 50 watts is overkill and not having to mess with G9 bulbs.And that's not even getting into all the half a dozen other nano bulbs and nano heat emitter. Anyway awesome little double dome.

This somehow got lost in the mail but the seller was very easy to work with and helped me out. I had to go to the pet shop an hour away to get a light though. It eventually came a month later and it seems sturdy and nice. Its a bit smaller for what i was looking for so i gave it to a friend and she likes it alot

For small tanks but works great!!!

Works great!
