- Wide-Angle Lighting Design: This 8W T5 10.0 UVB bulb provides wide-angle lighting, ideal for large enclosures or small glass tanks. UVB light reptile kit ensures even light distribution, providing reptiles with ample space to move and explore comfortably. (Recommended installation height: 12-18 inches)
- Suitable for Multiple Species: This T5 UVB light reptile bulb is designed specifically for reptiles and is ideal for desert reptiles and amphibians, including bearded dragons, lizards, geckos, snakes, tortoises, chameleons, frogs, and turtles. It provides the necessary UVB light conditions to promote their growth and overall health
Product description
Spectral range: 280-800nm, covering UVB, UVA, and visible light. UVB (280-315nm): Core functional band, accounting for approximately 10%. It acts on animal skin to synthesize vitamin D3, thereby promoting intestinal calcium absorption and is key to preventing metabolic bone disease (MBD). UVA (315-400nm): Helps regulate animal physiological behavior, appetite, reproductive activity, and vision (many reptiles can see UVA). Visible light (400-800nm): Provides bright illumination, simulating a natural environment and maintaining normal circadian rhythms. Power and size: 8W, dimensions 311mm x 23mm x 37mm, standard T5 tube size, requires a corresponding T5 lamp holder. Color Rendering Index (CRI): 90-95, high color fidelity, making the environment in the enclosure more natural and vivid. Applicable Animals and Usage Guidelines Main Target Animals: Desert/Tropical Reptiles: Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos, Central American Horned Lizards, Some Chameleons (such as Jackson's Chameleon), Desert Snakes, etc. Turtles Requiring UVB: Most Tortoises (such as Sulcata Tortoises, Hermann's Tortoises), Some Aquatic Turtles. Amphibians Requiring UVB: Some Tree Frogs, Diurnal Frogs. (Please confirm the specific UVB requirements of the species you are keeping before use.) Installation and Distance Recommendations: Recommended Installation Height: The bottom of the light tube should be approximately 30-45 cm (12-18 inches) above the animal's basking platform (basking spot). Bathing Spot Setup: A temperature gradient should be established within the enclosure. The temperature below the Basking spot should meet the species' optimal daytime body temperature requirements. Irradiation Cycle: It is recommended to simulate natural sunlight, turning it on for 10-12 hours daily. A timer can be used for automatic control. Safety Precautions: UVB cannot penetrate glass or plastic. Do not place any obstructions between the lamp and the animal. Avoid prolonged direct eye contact with the lamp. The lamp's intensity will decrease over time. It is recommended to replace it every 6-12 months to ensure UVB output intensity. Frequently Asked Questions and Maintenance Q: How do I determine if the lamp needs replacement? A: UVB intensity decreases over time, which is not perceptible to the naked eye. It is recommended to strictly adhere to the replacement cycle (usually 6-12 months) or use a professional UVB intensity tester. Q: Can it be used with other lamps? A: Yes, and it is recommended. It is usually necessary to combine it with a heating lamp (such as a ceramic heating lamp or a UVA spotlight) to provide a suitable thermal gradient, and a regular light source to ensure overall brightness. Q: Is it suitable for all reptiles? A: No. Nocturnal species or those that do not require UVB (such as most geckos, king snakes, and corn snakes) do not need this high-intensity UVB lamp. Please select according to the specific needs of the species. Note: 1. Due to manual measurement, the size and weight may have a certain error. 2.Due to the difference between different monitors, there may be a slight color difference existed.
