This is actually a question regarding my turtle tank but because you guys are all awesome, I hope you'll forgive me
The fixture I have for my turtle's UVB light is designed for 24", 20W bulbs. Unfortunately, the company that makes the bulbs has switched to making their 24" bulbs with 18W rating. I'm hoping that there's some way to alter the fixture (change plugs, starter, ?) so that I can use the 18W bulbs, rather than having to buy a new fixture.
So, any ideas? Will confess now that despite my years studying psychology, I know next to nothing about electricity and wiring, so please use small words.
Thanks!!!
