Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 T5 High Output UV-B fluorescent tube - one of the strongest terrarium tubes on the market

Zoo Med is one of the most popular manufacturers of high-quality terrarium lighting with some justification. Even zoos and many professional breeders rely on Zoo Med products. The Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 T5 High Output UV-B fluorescent tube is a good example of the high quality of Zoo Med lamps. "High Output" is not just a slogan here, but this terrarium tube simply delivers excellent values - both in daylight and in vital UV radiation. When it comes to efficiency, this terrarium tube sets a real exclamation mark. Can you be more specific? You can! Based on a conventional T8 UV fluorescent tube, the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 T5 High Output UV-B fluorescent tube provides twice the light and UV output - and all this with the same power consumption! That is indeed impressive. Since the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 T5 High Output UV-B fluorescent tube was designed for reptiles from desert regions (Bearded Dragons, Tejus, Monitor lizards, etc.), the strong UV output is a decisive factor for maximum reptile health. And why is that so important? Very simple: reptiles need UV radiation to develop naturally. The UV-A radiation ensures correct colour vision and general well-being (UV-A also has a very positive effect on plant growth in the terrarium). UV-B radiation is again the key when it comes to healthy bone and shell growth and the prevention of various deficiency diseases. Vitamin D3 synthesis, which is vital for reptiles, is only possible under the influence of sufficient UV-B radiation. Attention: UV tubes such as the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 T5 High Output UV-B fluorescent tube are only suitable for snakes if a clearly higher minimum distance than 15 cm is maintained!

The Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 T5 High Output UV-B fluorescent tube is ideally suited for supplying reptiles with a body length of up to 90 cm, whereby you must maintain a minimum distance of 15 cm from the animal. The maximum distance can be up to 90 cm, which says a lot about the impressive strength of the terrarium tube. When it comes to maximum service life, the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 T5 High Output UV-B fluorescent tube is also at the forefront. This means: If you use the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 T5 High Output UV-B fluorescent tube in your terrarium for about 10 - 12 hours a day, it will last about 12 months. Although your terrarium tube will still function after this time, the UV values simply decrease so much with increasing operating time that your reptiles are no longer optimally supplied. Therefore, we recommend replacing the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 T5 High Output UV-B fluorescent tube after one year. For your own orientation, simply note when you installed the terrarium tube.

In our estimation and experience, the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 T5 High Output UV-B fluorescent tube is worth an absolute recommendation.
