Reptile One Bulb Compact UVB 10.0 13W E27 Fitting

Product Description

The Reptile One Compact UVB 10.0 13W Bulb is designed to provide UVB lighting for compatible reptile terrariums and vivariums. Featuring a standard E27 screw fitting, this compact bulb is intended for use in a suitable reptile lighting fixture and may be appropriate for species that require higher UVB exposure, depending on their natural habitat and individual lighting needs.

UVB lighting is an important part of reptile husbandry. Appropriate UVB exposure helps reptiles synthesise vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption and healthy bone development. Selecting the correct UVB strength, distance and exposure period is essential, as different reptile species have different lighting requirements.
