Tropical UVB Bulb 5.0 26W – UVB bulb

This bulb is designed for keepers of tropical reptiles and species from subtropical regions or rainforests who need a UVA and UVB light source in a terrarium. It is rated UVB 5.0 (5%) and fits a standard E27 socket, so it can be installed in common terrarium lighting fixtures.

Why it matters

• Emits UVB 5.0 (5%) together with UVA, covering both light ranges in one lamp.
• UVB light is required for the skin to produce vitamin D3, which the animal needs to absorb calcium.
• UVA and UVB light encourage natural daytime behaviour and support basic vital functions, according to the manufacturer.
• Standard E27 thread means it works with typical E27 fixtures without a special adapter.
