Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 High Output UVB Bulb 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 15% UVA
UVA wavelengths help to increase appetite, activity, and induce reproductive behavior
Aids in Vitamin D3 synthesis and calcium absorption
UVA and UVB emissions last 1 year
Features: Provides an effective UVB source without providing excess heat; great for old world chameleons and other reptiles requiring increased UVB exposure without higher temperatures; allows UVB assisted photo conversion up to 20" from the lamp's surface (compared to 12" on the Reptisun 5.0); allows turtles and tortoises the proper UVB wavelength.Did you know that taller cages, screen cages, and tank covers can reduce the amount of UVB rays getting to your reptile?The solution is here: The Reptisun 10.0! This fluorescent bulb features more UVB output than any other lamp! Effective at distance up to 20", compared to 12" with the 5.0 UVB. This lamp will provide the UVB your pet needs in any cage-situation for up to a full year before needing replacement. Give your reptile the healthy UVB it needs with the Reptisun 10.0!
Zoo Med PowerSun UV is a self-ballasted mercury vapor bulb with two main components. The first is a standard incandescent filament, which is the first to light.
Provides Essential UVA, UVB Light & Heat All in One Lamp
Self-Ballasted Mercury Vapor UVB Bulb
Keeps your reptiles healthy by preventing metabolic bone disease in reptiles
The second is a mercury vapor arc tube, which takes a few minutes to heat up. There will be a noticeable change in hue (or color) when the bulb is completely warm and fully functioning. Because the PowerSun UV is a self- ballasted bulb it can be used in any ceramic socket that is rated to handle the wattage.Zoo Med PowerSun UV has nickel-plated threads to ensure that it will not corrode in humid reptile habitats. This new bulb also incorporates a short neck design, unique among mercury vapor lamps, that allows it to better fit into "clamp lamp" type fixtures. PowerSun UV projects useable UVB radiation a far greater distance (up to 6 feet) than conventional fluorescent tubes.PowerSun UV projects useable UVB radiation a far greater distance (up to 6 feet) than conventional fluorescent tubes. This makes it ideal for large enclosures and reptiles with high UV demands. PowerSun UV has the added benefit of increased intensity (50µW/cm2 UVB!!) and heat. UVB radiation has always been the safest, most effective way to ensure proper levels of vitamin D3 in captive reptiles and the PowerSun UV will continue to emit significant levels of UVB for all of its 10,000-hour average life (over 2 years with normal use.)CAUTION:1.) These bulbs get EXTREMELY hot and can kill your reptiles if used on enclosures that are too small.2.) We do not recommend the use of this bulb with 10 gallon aquariums.3.) We strongly recommend the use of a high quality "high range" thermometer when using this light.
Zoo Med Reptile Day Bulb in Blue is perfect for use in horizontal facing light hoods (like Zoo Med's Economy or Combination Reptile Hoods. True blue glass (not painted or coated) for better heat transfer. Full spectrum daylight bulb for heating reptile or amphibian terrariums.Zoo Med Reptile Day Bulb provides UVA, the wavelength that promotes a psychological well being and stimulates normal feeding behaviors in reptiles. European quality for long burn life.
Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Bulbs Provide the exact band of rays within the UVB spectrum for maximum vitamin D3 synthesis and calcium absorption. ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Bulbs supply an amazing 5.0% UVB and up to 30% UVA; outputs active UVB up to 12" from the bulb's surface. Use with lizards (other than iguanas), to help prevent bone problems, as well as turtles and tortoises to improve shell growth. Increases appetite, activity and breeding.NOTE: Zoo Med is currently upgrading the design and packaging of the bulbs. Some bulbs will be changing from T-12 to T-8 bulbs. We will be updating the site as our inventory changes to the new design. T-8 Bulbs will work in T-12 fixtures, they also have more lumens and require less energy to run so they are more energy efficient.Bulbs are compatible with the following fixtures:Slimline Reptile FixtureCombo-LightThe Slider Reptile HoodFluorescent Strip LightsContains the highest amounts of both UVB and UVA wavelengths. The UVB wavelength helps to prevent or reverse Metabolic Bone Disease in green iguanas as well as other species of lizards in captivity. Strengthens and improves shell growth on all captive turtles and tortoises. UVA wavelength increases appetite, physical activity, helps to induce reproductive behaviors and is beneficial to the psychological well-being of captive reptiles and amphibians.Safer than adding powdered or liquid synthetic D3 supplements, as the UVB wavelength allows all reptiles the ability to regulate their own Vitamin D3 levels by endogenous synthesis as they would in nature! Eliminates the risk of vitamin D3 overdose (highly toxic) from synthetic sources. Wavelength penetrates a full 10-12" from the bulb's surface. We use pure quartz glass sleeves. The bulb's UVA/UVB wavelength remains effective for 1 to 1-1/2 years. (Replace bulbs yearly).
Zoo Med's Day & Night Reptile Bulb Combo includes:
One Daylight Blue Bulb
One Nightlight Red Bulb
The Daylight blue bulb gives heat with naturalistic day light while the Nightlight red bulb is a heat lamp for 24 hour heating.
Zoo Med Repti Halogen Heat Lamp is another “First” from Zoo Med! Super high quality halogen lamps specifically made for reptile use! (This is not the same bulb you would find at a hardware store.)ReptiHalogen Heat Lamps last 2,000 hours up to one full year based on 8 hours daily usage. Produces 15% more heat, light and UVA than comparable reptile basking lamps. These lamps are primarily a heat source. They generate UVA but not UVB.Available in Watts 75, 100 and 150.
