Product Description
The Zoo Med PowerSun UV Mercury Vapor Lamp 160 Watts is an advanced, all-in-one terrarium bulb designed for diurnal reptiles requiring high basking temperatures and strong ultraviolet radiation. This self-ballasted lamp conveniently delivers essential UVA, UVB, and thermal energy from a single source, mimicking natural sunlight to support crucial calcium metabolism and help prevent Metabolic Bone Disease. Engineered for larger enclosures exceeding 40 gallons, it projects reliable UVB rays several feet from the basking site. Crafted with a premium quartz glass blend and heavy-duty nickel-plated threads, this durable bulb resists corrosion in humid environments and screws effortlessly into standard ceramic sockets without requiring an external ballast.
FAQ
Q1. How long do Powersun bulbs last?
Ans: While the bulb will continue to emit visible light for a long time, the essential UVB emissions degrade over usage. It is highly recommended to replace the bulb annually to ensure your reptile receives adequate UV levels.
Q2. What UVB light should I use for my bearded dragon?
Ans: The Zoo Med PowerSun 160 Watt bulb is an excellent choice for adult bearded dragons housed in large enclosures. It provides the high-intensity UVB and basking heat that desert species require to stay healthy.
Q3. Can you put a uvb bulb in a normal lamp?
Ans: No, this high-wattage mercury vapor bulb generates intense heat and must be used exclusively in a heavy-duty porcelain or ceramic socket fixture. Standard plastic sockets will melt and pose a fire hazard.
