Zoo Med T8 ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Fluorescent Lamp White

The Zoo Med T8 ReptiSun 10.0 UVB lamp is the industry - leading, award - winning choice for reptile owners. It offers a full 10% UVB output, which enables reptiles to naturally synthesize vitamin D3. This is crucial as it helps prevent and even reverse Metabolic Bone Disease and other health issues in turtles, tortoises, bearded dragons, iguanas, and all other daytime - active reptiles. The lamp can effectively trigger the photo - conversion of vitamin D3 in a reptile's skin from up to 12 feet away. There's no need to look for alternatives; this is the original and best reptile UVB lamp from Zoo Med. These high - quality bulbs are manufactured in Germany, ensuring long - lasting performance and reliability for your beloved reptiles.

Using the Zoo Med T8 ReptiSun 10.0 UVB lamp is easy. Just install it in a suitable fixture above your reptile's enclosure. Make sure it's placed at a distance of up to 12 feet from where your reptile usually stays, so it can get the full benefits of the UVB rays. When it comes to maintenance, keep the lamp clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it down every few weeks. Also, remember to replace the bulb regularly. Even if it still seems to be working, the UVB output decreases over time. As a general rule, replace the bulb every 6 - 12 months. When handling the bulb, always turn off the power first to avoid any electrical shock. And keep it out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental breakage.
