Product details
Description
The Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB T5 High Output Linear Fluorescent Lamp is a premium lighting solution engineered for desert-dwelling and basking reptiles. Providing twice the chemical effectiveness and brightness of standard T8 lamps, this twelve inch linear tube is essential for species like bearded dragons, monitors, and uromastyx.
It delivers crucial UVB rays that enable captive reptiles to synthesize Vitamin D3 and properly metabolize dietary calcium, effectively preventing or reversing Metabolic Bone Disease. Manufactured in Germany to the highest quality standards, this fifteen watt linear fluorescent bulb also outputs thirty percent UVA light to stimulate natural behaviors, increase appetite, and support overall health.
It features an energy-efficient high output design that requires a specialized T5 HO fixture to maximize light and ultraviolet distribution throughout larger terrariums.
How to use
- Install the linear fluorescent bulb into a compatible T5 HO specific light fixture or terrarium hood.
- Position the lamp over the mesh screen above your reptile's designated basking site, ensuring it is placed at the recommended distance based on your specific pet species.
- Replace the bulb every six to twelve months, as the beneficial UVB emissions degrade over time even if the visible light remains active.
