- Bulb fitting: This fixture is for screw-based bulbs, so the bulb base must match.
- Bulb type: It is described for compact fluorescent or incandescent bulb use, so compare that with the lamp you plan to fit.
- Placement: The 180 cm cord gives some reach, but the terrarium layout still needs to suit the fixture position and switch access.
- Lighting needs: The reflector is intended to direct light more precisely, so compare the dome size and beam placement against the area you want to illuminate.
