I've just ordered a trio of these for my Chameleon cages.
I have live vines and plants and my Chameleons need UVB. But real estate on top of my XXL REPTIBREEZE cages is at a premium and there are already spot lamps, a dripper system and MISTKING nozzles up there.
I needed something that could take up less room and hopefully have less wiring and timers than 6 different florescent tube fixtures!
I found these on Amazon. Inexpensive. T5 HO and with two tubes. My plan is to pop out one plant tube in each hood and replace it with a T5 10.0 uvb tube.
The bonus is that I'll have 3 new, spare plant tubes. And these can be "Daisy chained". Meaning I could use just one timer to run all 3 fixtures. (6 tubes)
These are probably not the same quality as the ZOOMED. And certainly not as high quality as the Arcadia. The reflectors especially. But they're also easier to find as well as much less expensive. I ordered them and they're in stock.
They should do what I need them to do. And I'll report back as soon as I've used them for a week or two and then check out how they perform. With uvb readings and some photos.
