Thanks

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.

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

Are they not different?. The one Shelley has linked to is Mini.. The one Dan has linked isn't?

Yeah the one i linked was the mini but i didn't know you could get it in deep dome, think i'll be investing in that instead.

Thanks everyone, what would i do without you guys

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?
