This 5W Repti-Zoo Mini UVB 5.0 bulb is intended for keepers of tropical and subtropical reptiles, and for certain amphibians, crabs and mammals. It provides the UVA and UVB spectrum that these animals need for normal development, behaviour and vitamin D3 synthesis, in a housing small enough to fit standard E27 fixtures.
Why it matters
- Low power draw: the bulb consumes 5W, and the manufacturer states it gives about 50% more output per watt than comparable bulbs.
- Tropical spectrum: it emits UVA and UVB, with a UVB content of 5% as indicated by the 5.0 designation.
- Long rated life: the bulb is rated for 8000 hours of operation without loss of UVB output. The manufacturer gives an estimated service life of 667 days (about 22 months) for a new bulb.
- Standard fitting: the E27 (large screw) base works with standard E27 holders.

Frequently asked questions
It is designed for tropical and subtropical reptiles, and it is also suitable for some amphibians, crabs and mammals. The supplier notes that UVA and UVB light supports normal development, behaviour and vitamin D3 synthesis in these animals.
The bulb uses a standard E27 (large) thread. Its dimensions including the thread are 37 x 37 x 83 mm, so please check that your fitting and the space in your enclosure can accommodate this size.
The 5.0 rating means the bulb provides 5% UVB output. It produces a tropical UVA and UVB spectrum, which is intended to imitate natural sunlight.
The bulb is rated for 8000 hours of use, and the supplier states that a new bulb works for 667 days (about 22 months) before replacement. Typical UVB bulbs usually need replacing every 9 to 12 months, so this is a longer period.
The bulb draws 5 W. According to the supplier, its output per watt is about 50% higher, so two 5 W bulbs give the same UVA and UVB output as one 15 W bulb.
