Does anyone use this or have experience with this product? I'm seriously considering for my turtle's basking spot. I'm looking at the one made for the 15" tube lights (14 watts; 5.0 uvb)

Here's the link to the product information: http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/dual_top.php

These hoods and the similar one by Zoo Med are OK but expensive.

I ended up getting it. For the bulbs, should I use two of the 5.0 tubes or only one? There will be a sun-glo 35 watt bulb in there as well to cover the heat needed.

I think you can just use one. I'd also check home depot for halogens that would fit into that hood since there shouldn't be any difference between them.

I'm on it. They do carry bulbs for the GU-10 fixture. :)
