14% UVB Reptile and Tortoise T5 Bulb - 34"

Does your reptile require high levels of UVB? Are you setting up a large enclosure? The 34-inch T5 HO Bulb (39W) is suitable—its high 14% UVB content supports desert reptile species synthesis of vitamin D3. The Dragon Lamp is a bold, white, full spectrum and very bright High Output T5, UVB projection lamp for captive reptiles. 

Absolute sun-loving baskers benefit from Arcadia's most powerful HO-T5 bulb, the 14% UVB Dragon Lamp. It's perfect for species like bearded dragons with its crisp, bold, full-spectrum and very bright projection capabilities.

The 14% UV bulbs are great for doing free range tortoise enclosures and other similar applications. They even give great UV at a distance of two feet!

Suitable for Bearded Dragons, Uromastyx, Blue-Tongue Skinks, Frilled Lizard, Agamids, Tortoises, Freshwater Turtles, and Bosc Monitors. For an arid species like a Bearded Dragon, the upper index basking distance (UV-I 6.00) should be set at 15 inches (35-40 cm) from the reflected lamp to the animal's back at the basking spot or shortest point. This will allow you to create 'wild-like' indexes of energy with an energy rich, wide basking zone whilst providing ample access to light and shade for natural self-regulation. 

Features

• For desert species. Suitable for Bearded Dragons, Tortoises, Turtles & Terrapins. 
• Produces excellent natural light.
• Can be positioned one to two feet over cages. Adjust the height to get exact UV levels needed in Beardie, Uromastyx cages. Suspend and adjust over breeding banks of cages. Also can be hung 16 inches to 24 inches over whole banks of screened chameleon cages.
• The increased level of UV-B energy which is balanced with 30% UV-A ensures that this lamp is simply perfect to be used in vivarium of 24"/60cm high or more. It will also help greatly for those that use terraria with a mesh top as the extra energy will allow light to penetrate deeper into the enclosure, providing wild-like indexes of UV-B at a safer distance.
• Flicker free.
• 12-month lifespan (longer than typical UV bulbs).
• 39 Watts.
• Works with the ProT5 Fixture and LumenIZE ProT5 UVB Kit. 
• Made in Germany.

Caution: More is not always better! The 14% bulb is not recommended for close distance (on top of a cage) use as it may be too much UV for most species. This bulb is designed to be used at greater distances over larger areas than the lower output bulbs. Ideally the UV output is dialed in with a UV meter in these circumstances.

Note: To get the most life out of your bulb, use a cloth when holding the bulb to protect it against oils on our fingers, and shut off power to the fixture before removing or installing a bulb.
