Hey,
I was wondering If one of these...:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1
ESU 36 in Desert 7% UVB (2) or 15 inZoo Med 5.0% UVB(2)
... Would one of these work in a 36in(or a little more) or 15/16in Florensent Fixture from Home depot?? I wasn't quite sure if reptile bulbs would work in that kinda of a fixture. Thanks

well jacob, compare what they look like. (the socket the bulb goes in and the part of the bulb that goes in the socket)

That ESU is not a high quality UV light.
You probably want to be using a Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 or 10.0 (I'm hoping that's what you meant by 5%, that it's a 5.0 bulb?);
or an Exo-Terra ReptiGlo 8.0. And not compact flourescent bulbs, tube bulbs. There's also an Arcadia bulb I always forget the name of that is good.
Sorry, I have no idea about the fixture. I've found that sometimes I have to twist my fixtures just the right way to get them to turn on, though.
