Default which lighting controller for VivExotic AX22? Confused!!

Hi all, Im ordering a VivExotic AX22 from www.bitsforpets.com and I need to buy a light controller for it, but there are so many I have confused myself!
Which one should I buy? Also is the 5.0% UV bulb adequate for a Yemen?


No moaning about the wooden viv & humidity ect, its all been sorted!

the lighting controller for the UV depends on the length of tube you're going for. Each tube has a wattage rating and each controller has a wattage rating, so just match them up.

Edit: I think I may have cracked it....

The 15inch is 14watt so you'll need a 14watt starter.

something like this one Arcadia Plugged Controller/Starter Unit for Vivariums £26.39 - Pet Zoo Online Reptile Shop & Exotic Pet Store

aye, that's the one.. although the more expensive one on my link seems to have detachable ends to make it easier to get them into vivs

Personally I think 5% is a tad low for a Yemen , mine is an Arcadia D3 12% I believe . I would think 10% would be okay , just think 5% may be a little low
