It depends on which wattage of the combined Arcadia's you have, Shell. The 160w I would say is too powerful for that holder. I think I can see it says 100w max??
You could try asking Paul from Reptilekeeping as he is very good on housing. I use his site for mainly all my stuff. Lots use Surrey Pet Supplies and I expect they are just as good. Their prices are a little cheaper than Paul's site. I guess its just preference for me as Paul knows me as a customer now and his Housing knowledge on fixtures/bulbs is superb. The delivery turnaround is also top notch. www.reptilekeeping.co.uk But as I say, Surrey Pet Supplies also very good and lots of owners on here use them. If its for the 160w, you could just try the Deep Dome by Zoomed. I know that some of the clamp lamps also can take the 160w. If you have a 100w Arcadia combined then IMO the holder you mention should be fine. Hope this helps. Im sure you'll get further suggestions as well. xx |

Dual ceramic sockets for use with lamps up to 160 watts* (combined wattage is 300 watts max.).
it can't take 2 at 160w though |

The mini twin deep dome is 100 watts per side. I've got one of those.
This new product is the big deep dome twin job. Looks useful! Had a quick look at some reptile supplies retailers and ddin't see the bigger one. Maybe its not yet available in the uk?
