Exo Terra Compact Top Canopy
The Exo Terra Compact Top Canopy earns its spot for hobbyists who want an integrated, aquarium-style single-lamp fluorescent solution that blends into planted or bioactive terrariums; its built-in reflector and streamlined fit make it visually neater and easier to mount than clamp-style fixtures. Compared with the higher-output T5 hood from Zoo Med, the Compact Top is more cost-effective and aesthetically finished for display enclosures, while offering better protection and light diffusion than a basic clamp lamp like Fluker's.

Exo Terra Light Unit T5 2x24W
The Exo Terra Light Unit T5 2x24W stands out for its dual-lamp layout, providing broader, more uniform high-output fluorescent coverage that benefits larger or plant-rich terrariums and allows mixing UVB and daylight tubes. It generally costs more upfront but can replace multiple single fixtures, reducing hardware clutter and delivering more even illumination than single-lamp hoods like Zoo Med or Zilla. Compared with LED alternatives, Exo Terra's dual T5 approach gives superior fluorescent UVB coverage for reptiles while sacrificing some of the energy efficiency and long life that LEDs offer.
