Hey guys,
Ive ran into a slight problem. I need to find a dome deep enough not to stick out,so I can place it on top of plexiglass. It is a 105 watt cfl and is apprpx. 11.4 inches long! Does anyone know of a deep enough dome fixture?

Thankyou!

Jake

Stitz, that's not what he was asking for. He was asking for a dome deep enough to fit his light so that he could put the light right on the top of the terrarium...

A deeper fixture would raise the light off the top of your...thingy (at least by some distance) So why not just rig it up above you plants?

Lol, because. Its a 105 watt cfl, those things get extremely hot. I tried that and my terr. super heated up to 100 degrees, I have plexi glass as a lid now, so I guess Ill make an extra wall of aluminum foil around the fixture and just raise the fixture with a light stand
