What attachments will hold this UVB lamp?

[rovertt]

Hi all, so my Russian tortoise is currently in hibernation so I'm trying to update his enclosure while he's asleep. I normally try and bring him outside daily so he can absorb the UV rays however this year the British weather has proven this difficult so I thought I'd invest in a UVB light so that he still gets his UV consumption even on rainy days. I have this 15watt UVB rod light for tropical and subtropical habitats however I'm not sure how to attach the lamp to his tortoise table. Does anyone know what holder or fixture will be able to hold this lamp? Thank you.

Side note: this lamp will be used in combination with the Arcadia D3 UV basking lamp which I already have a fixture for.

You need some sort of fixture like this:

Flourescent

They come in different lengths.

You can take a look at Reptile Basics too

What does your “tortoise table” look light? These UVB bulbs & their holders are easily mounted depending on the enclosure. You can utilize screws to mount the base into a wooden frame, or use plastic “zip ties” to a PVC pipe structure that is hanging over top the enclosure. (Think a hoop house-type green house).

Soo, upload a pix of the table.

Hi! Here's a picture of the table. I think I should have written my original post clearer as I don't just need something to attach it to the table but also an actual holder for the light so I can connect it to a power source. Currently, there is no wire or plug connected to the light. I'm not quite sure why Pets At Home sell lights like these without selling any fixture to be able to plug the light into a power source. I've also attached a picture of the light itself.

Hi! is there a product like this that comes without the lamp itself as I already have the lamp? Thank you!

Hey there.... really any florescent bulb holder will work. Take your bulb to your local DIY shop and find anyone that fits the bulb.

The box says 45cm / 18 inches - thats all you need. Any DIY or home improvement store has them.
