ShadeDwellerPro-Arboreal is the perfect choice for offering gentle full - spectrum and UV - B lighting to arboreal and climbing species. Combine it with the genuine Arcadia Reptile JungleDawn - LED Bar. This combo boosts visible light and provides high PAR levels, guaranteeing amazing plant growth. Alongside, use a stat - controlled heat source. Check out Arcadia Reptile SolarBaskingFlood, Halogen Floods, DHP with our Clamp lamp range for more details. The ProT5 reflector gives a smooth, mid - width light spread. It's great for creating an easy - to - measure basking area for all species. For shade - dwelling creatures like crested geckos, small climbing snakes, and amphibians that can get close to the lamp, it provides the right UV energy. But we must ensure the UV Index isn't higher than what nature allows and protects against. This ShadeDwellerPro - Arboreal kit is safe and effective for standard meshed - topped vivariums and those with close - to - lamp planting and decoration. With the 2.4% UV - B, 12% UV - A high CRI ShadeDweller - Arboreal lamp, it offers a safe UV Index even if the animal gets close to the lamp. It's ideal for shade - dwelling species in Ferguson zones 1 - 2. Depending on basking distance, climbing ability, and the need for a smaller UV area, it works well. In larger enclosures with limited open basking near the lamp, the ShadeDwellerPro 7% lamp at 10 - 12 inches in free air or 6 - 8 inches over a mesh might be better (note that black mesh reduces light more, so use a Solarmeter 6.5 index meter). Always provide UV energy over an area covering the whole animal's body. Match the basking zone with enough shade, vertically, horizontally, or both. This way, the animal can self - regulate its UV exposure. Heavily planted enclosures with broadleaf plants create good shade. Use our free lighting guide to find the optimal UVI for your species.

Using the Arcadia ShadeDweller™ ARBOREAL Professional T5 UVB Lighting Kit is easy. First, install the kit in your vivarium according to the instructions. If you want to enhance plant growth, pair it with the Arcadia Reptile JungleDawn - LED Bar. Make sure to use a stat - controlled heat source along with it. When it comes to the basking area, the ProT5 reflector makes it simple to measure. But for shade - dwelling species, be careful about the UV Index. Don't let it be too high. You can use a Solarmeter 6.5 index meter to check the actual energy, especially if you're using a black mesh as it reduces light more. If your enclosure is large and your reptile or amphibian can't bask close to the lamp, consider the ShadeDwellerPro 7% lamp. Place it at 10 - 12 inches in free air or 6 - 8 inches over a mesh. Always ensure that the UV energy covers the whole body of your pet. Also, provide enough shade so that your pet can self - regulate its UV exposure. Heavily planting broadleaf plants in the enclosure can create good shade. For maintenance, regularly check the lamp for any signs of damage. Replace the lamp as recommended by the manufacturer to keep providing the right UV levels for your pet.
