 Lighting Question

ok, well i picked shela up a 48" 5.0 UVB light...not a problem...but i cant find a fixture for it. i picked one up, but it only holds 32 watts, and this light is 40watts. the bulb is a t8 style. and the fixture holds 2 bulbs. would it be safe to just use one 40 watt bulb? ugh...i cant find a single thing. for you guys with the 4ft lighting, what did you use as a fixture. please help...lol
