This 26 W spiral bulb is designed for keepers of diurnal reptiles from arid and semi-arid regions, such as bearded dragons, tortoises and Yemen chameleons. It supplies both UVA and UVB radiation, which the manufacturer links to appetite, digestion and reproduction, and to calcium absorption through vitamin D3 synthesis.
Why it matters
- UVB output of 10% provides the UVB component that supports vitamin D3 synthesis and calcium uptake.
- UVA output of 30% adds the UVA radiation that the manufacturer states is part of the light these species receive in the wild.
- Effective range up to 50 cm defines the distance at which the stated UVB level applies, so basking spots should be placed within that distance.
- Replacement interval of at least one year is recommended by the manufacturer, because UVB output declines over time even when the bulb still lights.

What it works with
The bulb suits enclosures housing diurnal desert or semi-desert reptiles that need a strong UVB source at the basking area. The manufacturer lists bearded dragons, dwarf bearded dragons, Greek, steppe and leopard tortoises, and adult Yemen chameleons as target species. Do not place glass or plastic between the lamp and the animal, as it filters out UVB, and keep the animal from direct contact with the hot bulb.
