As long as you get the correct length, the fixture won't matter. Just need to make sure it is T5 and not VHO.

That is a 48" fixture so just make sure you get the 54w lamps.

You also want to make sure the fixture uses individual reflectors.

I am no T5 expert but Grim Reefer is. You can post questions about bulbs and fixtures here:
