Product Description

The Reptile One Tube UVB 5.0 30W 36in T8 is a UVB fluorescent tube designed for compatible reptile enclosure lighting systems. It provides UVB lighting for suitable reptile species, helping support vitamin D3 production and calcium absorption when used as part of an appropriate habitat setup.

UVB exposure is an important aspect of reptile husbandry. For many species, it helps the body produce vitamin D3, which assists calcium absorption and supports normal bone development. Providing suitable UVB lighting can help create a more appropriate environment for reptiles when combined with correct temperatures, nutrition and habitat conditions.

With a length of 36 inches (approximately 90cm) and a 30W rating, this tube is designed for compatible T8 fluorescent fittings. It can be used when replacing an existing compatible UVB tube or maintaining a suitable reptile enclosure lighting system.

Installation and Usage Guidelines

Before purchasing, check that your lighting fixture is compatible with a 36-inch, 30W T8 tube. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and recommended replacement interval, as UVB output decreases over time.

Choose the UVB level and tube position according to your reptile’s species-specific requirements. The distance between the light and your reptile affects UVB exposure, so follow the manufacturer’s positioning guidance. Provide shaded areas within the enclosure so your reptile can move away from direct UVB when needed.

Important: UVB requirements vary between reptile species. Confirm that UVB 5.0 is appropriate for your pet before selecting this tube.
