    Is this the Arcadia high output T5 or the Zilla slimline T5?

    I would never recommend any Zilla light. Years ago they had issue with the phosphors used in the desert slimline and had animals stricken and even dying from photokeratoconjuctivitis. I contacted them and the response was a very casual, "Take it back to the store and get your money back." I don't know how they have gone about fixing the problem, but the handling of the issue was quite poor in my mind.

    Hi Jon. I'm sorry I can't help you on this one. I haven't heard of this one yet.

    Years ago I was rather excited to see another company starting up with an eye to reptilian needs. Over the years I've tried numerous products of Zilla's, and sadly I would easily say that most of the products of their's that I've tried are outright crap. Scratch that.....horrifically overpriced crap. Unfortunately, up here in Canada, if you've bought T5 lamp fixtures, there isn't much selection in manufacturers to choose from.

    I am using Arcadia's t5 HO 12% bulbs for my bearded dragons. I love them. I am planning to use them for the tegu also.
