UVB Fluorescent Lights, Mercury Vapor Bulbs

These self-ballasted bulbs are an ideal solution for providing heat and beneficial UV rays in a single, easy to use bulb. Both the 100 and 160 watt model screw into a standard incandescent fixture (ceramic fixture recommended) and can be placed directly on a screen cage top, or suspended above an open-topped enclosure via Zoo-Med’s Lamp Stand. PowerSun bulbs are excellent for larger enclosures, as they can project essential UVB rays (~ 290-320nm) up to 6 feet from the surface of the bulb. Ideal for desert species including bearded dragons, uromastyx, and many tortoises. Due to this bulb’s extremely high output of UV, it is ideal for prevention and treatment of metabolic bone disease.

The less expensive T-Rex 100 Watt UV lamp has a lower output of beneficial UVB, more akin to what may be available to a reptile in shade on a sunny day. This is fine for forest or shade loving species. For more sun loving species such as Bearded Dragons they would need to be exposed to this lower output of UVB for a longer period to obtain the vit D3 benefits that they would get from an Active UVHeat lamp. So longer time exposure to lower levels of UVB light is equivalent, and as beneficial, to a shorter exposure time to a higher level of UVB light. Longer exposure time does increase the cost of the electricity used and shorten the life of the lamp however. 6 month warranty

All of the benefits of Zoo-Med’s standard 10.0 tube but in a smaller unit! These bulbs have a standard base and will screw into and incandescent fixture. Ideal for use in smaller enclosures when space is at a premium, or when a standard fluorescent fixture is not feasible. Due to its 10% UVB rating, this bulb is especially suited for desert species, animals recovering from metabolic bone disease, and egg-producing females.

Full spectrum compact fluorescent bulb that is ideal for amphibians and other low light reptiles! 13 watts, and is short enough to fit any standard sized clip lamp without sticking out!! The Exo Terra Repti Glo 2.0 is a general light source with a high visual light output and a very high color rendering index (CRI), but a lower UVB radiation. This bulb is suitable for snakes, all amphibians (frogs, toads and salamanders) and nocturnal animals. Plants will thrive under this light as well. It is also a perfect complementary light to a UVB bulb to boost visual light.

Offers 10% UVB and is ideal for reptiles that require a high amount of UV lighting like Bearded Dragons. 13 watts, and is short enough to fit any standard sized clip lamp without sticking out! The Exo Terra Repti Glo 10.0 has a very high UVB output similar to that associated with desert environments. Desert locations receive more direct sunlight than any other because of fewer clouds, less air humidity and no plants or trees to provide shade. Therefore desert reptiles are more exposed to UV radiation than any other type of reptile. This bulb can also be used on screened terrariums or terrariums with dense screen covers to ensure UVB penetration. Dense screens can filter out up to 50% of the UVB rays.

Offers 5% UVB and is ideal for reptiles that require a medium amount of UV lighting! The Exo Terra Repti Glo 5.0 has a moderate to high UVB output, similar to that of shady environments such as rain forests and other tropical locations. Reptiles living in these habitats receive less UV radiation because of the many climatological conditions (fairly high humidity, changes in weather, etc) that prevent direct sunlight from reaching them or their basking sites.

This meter allows you to track the decrease in output of your UVB lamps over time. Simply point the round sensor on the top of the unit at the UVB source, hold down the button and read the LCD screen (UVB level is displayed in microwatts per square centimeter). Remember that readings will vary with distance, so make all measurements from the same distance (12” for example). A 9-volt battery is included already installed in the unit. Eventually the battery indicator "Batt" will come on, indicating need for replacement of battery. Always replace battery when indicator comes on in order to maintain meter accuracy.

• Wear eye protection when checking UV lamps (e.g.: UV-block eyewear). • Allow lamps to warm-up prior to taking readings (at least 5 min). • Do not use meter to compare different type lamps, due to their different spectral power distributions. Although higher output lamps will read higher than low output lamps, the readings are relative rather than absolute. • Do not subject the meter to extremes in temperature, humidity, shock or dust. • Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the instrument. Keep sensor free of oil, dirt, etc. • Keep sensor from light when not in use.
