HERITAGE 13W 26W COMPACT LAMP 2.0 5.0 10.0 UV BULB VIVARIUM REPTILE TERRARIUM (RTT04 Compact 26W 5.0 UVB bulb)

Description

Reptile 2.0 UVB Compact Lamp 13W 26W. It is recommended to combine a high UVB output (Reptile 5.0 and 10.0) with a very high visual light output (Reptile 2.0) for optimal results. Fluorescent bulbs do not provide sufficient heat. Recommended in combination with Reptile 5.0 or Reptile10.0, depending on the reptile's requirements. The Reptile 2.0 is a general light source with a high visual light output and a very high colour 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. Reptile 5.0 UVB Compact Lamp 13W 26W. The Reptile 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. Reptile 10.0 UVB Compact Lamp 13W 26W. The Reptile 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.
