Find a productProduct description
This metal halide lamp is aimed at reptile keepers who want a single light source for basking heat, visible light and UV in a terrarium. The manufacturer presents it as a replacement for a separate heat bulb and UVB tube, so it suits enclosures where space and the number of fittings are limited.
Why it matters
- The lamp emits heat, visible light and UV together, which the manufacturer describes as a balance close to natural sunlight.
- Its light is diffused, which according to the supplier reduces overly bright hot spots and allows the whole body of the animal to be irradiated.
- The manufacturer states that the UV level is matched to heating and IR emission, and that animals kept under metal halide lamps may show better colouration and more natural behaviour.
- The supplier notes that this type of lamp avoids the unnaturally high UV output that it associates with mixed-light and compact fluorescent UV lamps.

What it works with
