The Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle UVB and Heat Lighting Kit is a fantastic all - in - one package for your aquatic turtles. It comes with a Mini Combo Deep Dome Lamp Fixture crafted from polished aluminium. This fixture has a long reflector dome that keeps the bulbs from sticking out, while delivering maximum heat and light output. The dual ceramic sockets can handle lamps up to 100 watts. The kit also includes a Turtle Tuff Halogen Lamp, a heavy - duty, splash - proof 50 - watt lamp that serves as a great heat source for aquatic turtles and other water - based terrarium animals. And there's the Reptisun 5.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent Lamp, a 13 - watt lamp perfect for aquatic turtles. It offers maximum UVB penetration, helping to prevent or reverse bone disease. This cool - burning bulb screws into standard threaded sockets, eliminating the need for a separate ballast. This easy - to - set - up combo pack is ideal for tropical setups and is a must - have for any aquatic turtle owner.

Using this Zoo Med lighting kit for your aquatic turtles is easy. First, install the Mini Combo Deep Dome Lamp Fixture in a suitable place in the terrarium. Make sure it's secure and won't fall. Then, screw the Turtle Tuff Halogen Lamp into one of the dual ceramic sockets. This will provide the necessary heat for your turtles. Next, screw the Reptisun 5.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent Lamp into the other socket to offer the essential UVB light. As for maintenance, regularly check the bulbs for any signs of damage. If a bulb burns out, replace it with a new one of the same wattage. Also, keep the lamp fixture clean from dust and debris. When handling the bulbs, be gentle and make sure to turn off the power to avoid any electrical hazards. Always place the lighting kit in a location where your turtles can't reach it directly to prevent burns or damage to the lamps.
