Will a 15w light bulb do anything for small light fixture?

Sure, a lot of people use the 15W blue bulbs with no issues (ie: a blue night bulb for ambient low heat or night viewing). BUT on this fixture, both bulbs are on at the same time (you cant operate them independently) so using a night bulb and a regular bulb for illumination wouldn't do much aside from raising the temp in the terrarium. Personally, I have 2 fixtures on 1 terrarium... 1 fixture (the small) with 26W CFL bulbs (2) for my plants and day cycle then a second (the micro fixture 1 bulb version) with a 15W blue night light so I can watch my RETF's eat at night. Hope that helps.PS: I really wouldn't use 2 regular 15W bulbs for illumination , It just seems like it would be to dim... especially if you want to have plants.

Will this perfectly fit the 12x12x12 exo terra terranium?

We have the 12x12x18 and it fits perfect. it should also fit perfectly on the 12x12x12. Good luck!

what size terrarium does this fit?

I have mine on the 18x18x24 Exo Terra enclosure

How many bulbs are in the mini I need a day and night does this hold 2 bulbs
