This UVB bulb is intended for keepers of desert and semi-desert reptiles, where UV-B output is needed for vitamin D3 synthesis. It fits standard E27 fittings and is designed for terrariums with a mounting height of 15–60 cm.
Why it matters
- UVB exposure triggers vitamin D3 synthesis, which the supplier links to protection against disorders such as rickets.
- The supplier states that UV light supports appetite, activity and foraging, and helps reptiles recognise their surroundings and conspecifics.
- Reptiles perceive the ultraviolet range, so without UVB the supplier notes possible disorientation, lethargy or aggression.
- The bulb is advertised with higher UVB output and a claimed better UV-B/UV-A spectrum, with a new-generation built-in ballast that the supplier says prevents flicker when switched on.
