Product Description
The Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 Mini Compact Fluorescent Lamp 13 Watts is a premium, full-spectrum lighting solution engineered specifically for captive tropical reptiles and amphibians. This energy-efficient, cool-burning terrarium bulb provides the essential light spectrum necessary for the health and vitality of your exotic pets. It features a unique, specialized UVB-transmitting quartz glass that maximizes ultraviolet penetration, making it highly effective for indoor habitats. This light is perfect for small terrariums, tropical environments, and species requiring moderate UV exposure.
Providing your reptiles with correct lighting is crucial for mimicking their natural environment. This full-spectrum bulb delivers five percent UVB radiation, which is essential for synthesis and proper calcium metabolism, helping to prevent or reverse metabolic bone disease. Additionally, the thirty percent UVA emission actively stimulates natural behaviors such as increased feeding, mating, and overall physical activity. Imported directly from the USA, this high-quality lamp screws into standard threaded medium sockets, meaning it requires no external ballast and can be easily oriented either vertically or horizontally within your deep dome fixtures or terrarium hoods.
