Using this Arcadia T5 fluorescent lamp for your reptiles is easy. First, make sure to install it in a suitable fixture. You can place it at a distance of about 30cm from your reptile's habitat to get the typical UVB output. Remember, the output might vary if there's mesh, glass, or a reflector in between. When it comes to daily use, keep the lamp on for an appropriate amount of time according to your reptile's needs. As for maintenance, since these lamps operate on high - frequency ballasts and don't need starters, there's less hassle. However, check the lamp regularly for any signs of damage or reduced light output. If you notice the colors of your reptile or the overall lighting in the habitat seem off, it might be time to replace the lamp. Also, choose the right bulb variation based on your reptile species. For reptiles that need medium UV - B levels like chameleons, day geckos, etc., this 6% UVB bulb is a great choice. But if your reptile has different requirements, you can opt for the 14% UVB or D3+ 12% UVB T5 bulbs.
