Find a productProduct description
This 39 W T5 tube is meant for keepers of reptiles from desert and semi-desert regions who want UV coverage throughout the enclosure. Because it is an 85 cm fluorescent tube, UVB is delivered along its entire length, which allows the hot and cool zones of the terrarium to receive UV instead of only the area beneath a heat lamp.
Why it matters
- Full-length UVB output: the tube supplies UVB along its whole length, so UV reaches the cool end of the enclosure as well as the basking area.
- Calcium metabolism support: the manufacturer describes the UVB output as a source of radiation for calcium metabolism in reptiles.
- UVA output: the UVA component is rated at 33% and is described as supporting appetite, activity and breeding behaviour.
- Stated effective range: full effectiveness is declared up to 50 cm from the tube, which should be taken into account when planning the enclosure layout.
