Hello, mad. You might be able to find a lighting kit at this website that could be used to modify your tarantula. They specialize in reproduction fixtures (which it sounds like you do not want), but their repros are designed to be installed in modern environments. It’s called “Renovators’ Supply”; perhaps you already know of them.
