Product Description

The Reptile One Tube UVB 10.0 30W 36in T8 is a UVB fluorescent tube designed for compatible reptile enclosure lighting systems. It provides UVB lighting for suitable reptile species that require this level of UVB exposure as part of their habitat setup.

UVB lighting plays an important role in reptile care by helping reptiles produce vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption and normal bone development. Providing suitable UVB exposure can help support healthy calcium metabolism when combined with an appropriate diet, suitable temperatures and correct enclosure conditions.

Measuring 36 inches (approximately 90cm) and rated at 30W, this tube is designed for compatible T8 fluorescent fittings. It can be used to replace an existing compatible UVB tube or maintain a suitable lighting arrangement for a reptile enclosure.

Installation and Usage Guidelines

Before purchasing, confirm that your lighting fixture supports a 36-inch, 30W T8 tube. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation, positioning and replacement intervals, as UVB output declines with use.

Select the UVB level and installation distance according to your reptile’s species-specific requirements. A UVB 10.0 tube is not automatically suitable for every reptile. Provide shaded areas within the enclosure so your reptile can move between different light conditions, and follow recommended positioning guidance to avoid excessive exposure.

Important: Appropriate UVB lighting should form part of a complete habitat setup that also meets your reptile’s dietary, temperature and shelter needs.
