Product Description
The Reptile One Compact UVB 2.0 13W Bulb is designed for reptile enclosures that require a low-level UVB light source. With a standard E27 screw fitting, this compact bulb is intended for use in a compatible reptile lighting fixture, helping provide suitable lighting conditions for reptiles in their enclosure.
UVB lighting plays an important role in reptile care, supporting natural biological processes, including vitamin D3 synthesis, which helps reptiles absorb and utilise calcium. The appropriate UVB level depends on the reptile species, enclosure setup and distance from the light source.
Its compact design makes it a practical lighting option for suitable terrariums and vivariums. For best results, use the bulb according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the specific lighting requirements of your reptile.

Directions for Use
- Install the bulb in a compatible E27 lamp holder designed for the bulb’s electrical rating.
- Position the light according to the manufacturer’s recommended distance and your reptile’s UVB requirements.
- Ensure your reptile can access appropriately shaded areas away from direct UVB exposure.
- Monitor the enclosure’s lighting and temperature conditions, as UVB bulbs may also produce heat depending on their design.
- Replace the bulb according to the manufacturer’s guidance, as UVB output can decrease over time even if the bulb still illuminates.
Important Safety Information
- Check that the bulb is suitable for your reptile species and enclosure before use.
- Do not exceed the lamp holder’s rated wattage.
- Avoid looking directly at an operating UVB bulb.
- Follow the manufacturer’s installation and replacement instructions.
- A UVB bulb does not automatically provide adequate heat or all the lighting requirements your reptile needs. Additional heating or lighting may be necessary.
- Confirm the recommended UVB exposure for your species, as a 2.0-rated bulb is not appropriate for every reptile.
