Default Looking for simple fixture with feet for T12 electric start

Hi,

I need to get several fixtures that hold T12 bulbs, have feet, and an internal reflector. I also need electric start ballasts. I was looking at the Fluker hood which is great except I think it's a magnetic ballast. Also, the fluker repta hood is stated to be made for T8 and T10. While it'll work for T12s it touches the starter (and may cause problems).

I need these for Reptisun 5.0 which do not come in anything less than a T12. I called ZooMed and though they sell T8 Reptisun 5.0 in Europe, they don't sell them here. They are 2x as much in GBP in the UK and then I'd have to ship them. Why they do this there and not here, I don't know. They stated the demand was greater there and less here for T8s over T12s. Every other company sells their UVB bulbs in a T8 or T10. Zilla even sells them in T5s. The ZooMed bulb is far superior, though.

Sorry for ranting D=

Anyways, if you know of a fixture/hood like the one I'm looking for, please let me know. (I'm looking for something slim btw... one bulb with a reflector on feet to raise it off the tank and nothing else).

Sorry that was for a t8, was not paying attention! Here is the t12 I have been looking for. Also after I wend to the store I found another one that looked better and was made from Diamond Plate Aluminum and was polished so it was a reflector. In Dallas, TX that fixture was like $23, but here is the other one.
