Find a productProduct description
This spiral bulb is intended for keepers of tropical and subtropical reptiles and some amphibians. It supplies UV-A together with 5% UV-B, which supports appetite, digestion and breeding, and it is suited to enclosures where the animal's basking spot sits within 40 cm of the lamp.
Why it matters
- UV-B supports vitamin D3 synthesis, which allows calcium to be absorbed at the proper level. This is the main reason to provide a correct UV source in a closed enclosure.
- 5% UV-B output reproduces the lower UV dose that tropical species receive in the wild, where dense vegetation and high humidity filter the light.
- UV exposure enhances skin coloration in reptiles and amphibians, so the lamp contributes to the animal's appearance as well as its health.
- Replacement interval of at least one year is recommended by the manufacturer, because UV-B output declines with use and the lamp should be changed on schedule.

What it works with
The bulb is intended for tropical reptiles and amphibians, including Williams' geckos, Madagascar day geckos (Felsuma), other tropical geckos and some amphibians, as well as young Yemen chameleons only. It requires an open-air path to the animal: glass or plastic placed between the lamp and the animal filters out UV-B, and the animal should not be able to sit directly against the bulb.
