This E27 UVB bulb is intended for keepers of desert and semi-desert reptiles, as well as diurnal geckos, snakes, turtles and scorpions. It supplies UVB radiation, which reptiles need for vitamin D3 synthesis and which helps prevent conditions such as metabolic bone disease.
Why it matters
- Rated at 26 W, with higher output and better UVA and UVB rendering, according to the manufacturer.
- Works effectively at a mounting height of 15 to 60 cm above the enclosure floor.
- Built-in new-generation ballast that does not flicker when switched on and, per the manufacturer, extends bulb life and output stability.
- Electronic components are made in Japan. The supplier states the bulbs passed ELT certification and have been sold in the USA since 2015.

Frequently asked questions
It is intended for reptiles from semi-desert and desert areas, including most diurnal geckos, snakes, all tortoises, and scorpions. It is also suitable for mammals and some amphibians.
The bulb works effectively when mounted between 15 cm and 60 cm from the animal's basking area. Stay within this range to get the UVB output the manufacturer describes.
Without UVB, reptiles can lose their sense of orientation, become aggressive or lethargic, and develop diseases such as metabolic bone disease. UVB is needed for the synthesis of vitamin D3, which supports appetite and activity.
Cheaper bulbs often fail because their internal electronics are of low quality, according to the manufacturer. This model has a new-generation ballast that prevents flickering when switched on and is designed to extend the bulb's lifespan, with electronic components made in Japan.
The Repti-Zoo UVB bulbs have passed the American ELT certification process. They have been sold on the US market since 2015.
