Reptizoo T5 10.0 UVB 21.5 inch (549mm) 24W

Key Features and Information:
UVB Output: It is a 10.0 UVB lamp, meaning it provides a high level of UVB radiation, suitable for species native to desert habitats, such as bearded dragons, uromastyx, and certain tortoises.
Function: Essential for a reptile's health, this light helps them synthesize Vitamin D3, which is critical for metabolizing dietary calcium and preventing metabolic bone disease. It also emits UVA radiation to stimulate appetite and natural behaviors.
Type: This is a T5 High Output (HO) linear fluorescent bulb, which provides stronger UVB and brighter light compared to older T8 or compact fluorescent bulbs.
Compatibility: It can be mounted inside the vivarium or on top of the screen mesh using the appropriate accessories.
Lifespan: T5 UVB lamps generally maintain their effective UVB output for about 6 to 12 months, after which they should be replaced even if they still appear to be producing visible light.
Fixture: The fixture often comes with a highly polished, curved reflector to maximize the efficiency and strength of the light and UVB output into the enclosure.
