Does this hood take one 36" t8 bulb. newer aga stripes have smaller bulbs that the length. Is it flimsy plastic of heavier? Thanks!

This is the traditional fluorescent strip light and uses a T-8 bulb 36"L, it does NOT use a T-5 bulb. It has to be placed with a glass canopy under it, it does not have a "lens" cover. The plastic is fairly heavy duty, I have ones at home that are over 25 years old and still working. The standard T-5 NO fixtures would be probably part AAG40202 (?) with two 21W , normal T-5 bulbs. (Just to confuse the issue, most T-5 HO lights you see are using the T-5 High Output bulbs. 48" HO = 54W, 48" NO = 28W) I hope this helps

I have been using this hood for several months on a 55 gal. Plants in this tank have been growing better than in my other tank, which has the proper t8 bulbs for plants. So I would disagree with the other opinions.

Sorry it took so long to respond. My bulb is a 3047. But this actually came with the whole light harness one unit plug and play which I didn't realize so bulb wise it won't really matter becuse it also came with bulbs in it. Agin sorry it took so long for response

No where on the bulb sleeve does it say T-5 Size. Instead it says, 24" 610 mm, 17 watts T8. Hope this helps. My guess is the T-5 is a shorter bulb.Sharon

This is just a hood, no bulbs, you would have to buy the bulbs separate and can get uva and uvb.

I believe that it was 9.5 inches in width (the widest part of the metal top where it joins the clear plastic of the shade, and it fit the old light which was 10.5-11 inches at the same place. the hole for the bulb is standard because it has to fit these particular bulbs. The metal top is a soft metal and easy to drill if the manufactured holes do not match the screw holes of your particular model. Both of my shades were shipped quickly, well packaged and they installed quickly.

Most bulbs are 71mm + or- 2mm for most applications. You will need to request a 73mm + or- 2mm for the Zephyr hood applications. Contact Ron Miller at ron@replacementlightbulbs.com and he will help you. Cheers.

Its just a cage..a hood does not come with it for a light.If you want to place a bulb inside the cage you will need to make a hole..there is not one provided.

Yes. This is my 2nd fixture. To let you know I wouldn't try to squeeze plastic shade to try to get it in. Over time the plastic gets brittle from the light bulb heat and can crack. The fixture is very light, and the mounting holes are slotted. You could easily drop the fixture down to change.

Nope, I'm sorry but it really has to be T8 48". You can check out this one, it's what I'm using for this fixture and it's been working great ever since. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SP41 Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 741 Light Bulb 48"

My original hood was broken in a move, so I purchased one of these: All Glass Aquarium AAG29024 Versa Top, 24-InchThis fixture doesn't rest on the hood however, it has feet on the ends that let it sit on top of the aquarium. But I don't think it can handle much moisture.

The hood holds one 24", 20watt bulb. This bulb can be bought in many different levels of brightness. One that helps algae to grow, one that dosen't, one that works well with live plants, etc.

I purchased a 60W T bulb. Because of the material the shade is made out of, I wouldn't go with a regular light bulb. But that's just me, I'm sure a lower watt regular could work. Hope that helps.

24 inches vent to vent, 17 wide, I used the hood for 2 weeks and went back to my cool tube, the glass heats up a bit and the air recirculates , for me it increased my room temps, as far as the Apollo ballast ... Junk ... Had two , one 600, the other 1000, both crapped out after 9 months, one also took the bulb with it, just bought a quantum ballast and new bulbs, Apollo worked for a little bit but ended up costing more going cheap, quantum has 3 year warranty too

Yes, this one takes a *regular* (large base) bulb. I sure wouldn't use anything bigger than 60 in it .... not sure what it's rated for, but 6 bigger bulbs would be overwhelmingly bright! I use 40 watt bulbs and that's plenty.

mine was the same as pictured.i did see however that there are 2-3 types of these that are under different name brands.i seen 2 that i know of that were identical but different names.i just use mine for small repairs so i took a shot at buying 1 and i have no complaints.i use no bigger than a 3/32'' 6013 or 6011 as most of my stuff is not heavy gauge.i can weld heavier stuff to a point but still only use 3/32'' rod w/multiple passes.the hood is hand held and flimsy but it works for me.since the welder was not real costly,i took a shot and it works well for my purpose.good luck ..

it doesn't come with a hood. its just the light kit. you choose the size bulbs so it will fit almost any size tank
