Reptile Fluorescent Bulbs

The Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Bulb is the #1 most popular reptile lamp worldwide! This efficient light source is ideal for reptiles housed in larger vivaria whose natural environment and behavior patterns necessitate increased UVB exposure.

• ReptiSun Bulbs emit up to 10% UVB and up to 30% UVA
• UVA wavelengths help to increase appetite, activity, and induce reproductive behavior
• UVB aids in Vitamin D3 synthesis and calcium absorption

ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Bulbs provide an effective source of UVB without emitting excess heat, and are ideal for Old World Chameleons and other reptiles that need high UVB exposure without higher temperatures. These lamps allow UVB-assisted photo conversion up to 20" from the lamp's surface (compared to 12" on the Reptisun 5.0), which allows the proper UVB wavelength for turtles and tortoises.

Taller cages, screen cages, and tank covers can reduce the amount of UVB rays getting to your reptile. The Reptisun 10.0 is the solution! These fluorescent bulbs emit more UVB than any other reptile lamp. Lamps should be replaced every year for optimal effectiveness. 1-year manufacturer warranty.

LAMP DETAILS

Ideal for large habitats with the following reptiles:

• Tropical Lizards (Green Iguanas, Day Geckos, Anoles, Water Dragons).
• Aquatic Turtles, Box Turtles and Tortoises.
• Old World Chameleons (Panther Chameleons, Veiled Chameleons, Jackson's Chameleon, etc).

This lamp provides UVB, UVA and Visible light for your reptile:

UVB: Reptiles need UVB for vitamin D prodction and calcium metabolism. Without UVB, reptiles can develop Metabolic Bone Disease in 6 months or less. This lamp, along with proper temperatures, will enable your reptiles to make vitamin D and process calcium from their diet.

UVA: Reptiles and amphibians can see things that humans can't. UVA is part of the rainbow of colors that reptiles can see. UVA helps to increase activity levels, appetite, and reproductive behaviors. Without UVA, they are color blind!

Lamp Fixture: For use in fixtures rated for T5 HO (high Output) lamps. For best results, use Zoo Med's ReptiSun T5 HO Terrarium Hood.

Lamp Distance: Refer to the back of your lamp's box for optimal UVB emit distance (15W - up to 18"). Glass and plastic filter out UVB; there should be no glass or plastic between tha lamp and your reptile. Fine mesh blocks up to 50% of light and UVB. This should be taken into consideration when determining lamp distance. The T5 ReptiSun HO is designed for most reptiles housed in terrariums that are 12" to 18" tall. Always have lamp at least 6" away from your animal. The optimal distance from T5 HO lamps to the animal is 12-24", depending on the lamp.

When To Replace Your Lamp: This lamp will provide your animals with beneficial UVB for a period of 12 months when used 10 to 12 hours per day. Record date of first use of lamp and replace after 12 months.
