Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 T8 UV-B Fluorescent Tube

Among the UV-B fluorescent tubes, the Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 UV-B fluorescent tube is in a class of its own and you can take that literally. Numerous tests and scientific studies have confirmed the exceptionally high performance of the Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 UV-B fluorescent tube. You can be sure: That's no coincidence! The measured effective UV values of the Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 UV-B fluorescent tube are unusually high for a terrarium fluorescent tube. Especially reptiles with an increased to medium requirement of UV-B and UV-A radiation benefit directly from this of course. What reptiles does that apply to? There are different species of turtles or water turtles, but of course also iguanas and different species of lizards - e.g. bearded dragons. The performance data that can be obtained and measured when operating the Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 UV-B fluorescent tube in a terrarium is indeed impressive. True 7 % UV-B (vital for vitamin D3 synthesis of reptiles) and 30 % UV-A radiation represent superior values for a terrarium fluorescent tube of this class. Especially in the UV-A range, the wheat often separates from the chaff, because high UV-A output means healthy reptiles! Because: UV-A radiation in the terrarium ensures that terrarium animals can develop healthily. The results are brilliant, natural colors, an increase in general activity and mating behavior of reptiles. But it is not only the UV properties that make the Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 UV-B fluorescent tube a real ace in the terrarium. The luminous efficacy is also pleasingly high, which of course has an energy-saving effect on the terrarium lighting. This also means that the Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 UV-B fluorescent tube is ideal for keeping day-active reptiles.

Another advantage of the Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 UV-B fluorescent tube is that it can be easily combined with other light sources. Why is that important? Well, we must not forget that fluorescent tubes have to provide the basic lighting in the terrarium and that, depending on the requirements of the reptiles, additional terrarium lamps are necessary! The Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 UV-B fluorescent tube, for example, offers a high output of UV radiation but produces less visible light. Therefore, it is always a good idea to combine the Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 UV-B fluorescent tube with a second tube or daylight lamp that provides more visible light. Only in this way can you see your terrarium animals in their natural colours and the reptiles themselves behave much more naturally and actively with an optimum light spectrum. Simply add the Zoo Med Reptisun 5.0 UV-B fluorescent tube with a Zoo Med Reptisun 2.0 full spectrum tube and you have a perfect light duo in your terrarium.
