The ExoTerra Reptile UVB100 T5 (3%) VHO lamps are crafted in Germany to the highest quality standard, ensuring a prolonged UV output of 12+ months for lasting performance. With its intense output of UVA and UVB rays, combined with a well-balanced visible light spectrum, the Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 T5 Very High Output Bulb is specifically designed to meet the needs of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates inhabiting the Cryptophotic Zone. The intensity of the emissions varies depending on the distance from the basking area.

Appropriate levels of UV are vital for the physiological well-being of these animals, which exhibit an aversion to direct solar exposure. Typically known as ‘shade dwellers’, these animals have adapted to nocturnal and crepuscular activity. Opting for either deliberate or concealed exposure to sunlight.

The Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 VHO T5 Bulb helps promote healthy Vitamin D3 synthesis, which in turn facilitates improved calcium absorption - safeguarding against Metabolic Bone Disease. Its UVA and UVB emissions surpass those of traditional T8 bulbs and energy-efficient alternatives, while enhanced UVB penetration extends its suitability for use in taller terrariums or those equipped with denser screens.
