Product Description
The Reptile One Compact UVB 2.0 26W Bulb is designed to provide low-level UVB lighting for compatible reptile terrariums and vivariums. With its standard E27 screw fitting and 26W power rating, this compact bulb is suitable for compatible reptile lighting fixtures.
UVB lighting is an important part of reptile care. Appropriate UVB exposure helps reptiles synthesise vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption and healthy bone development. The correct UVB level depends on the reptile species, its natural habitat, the enclosure setup and the distance between the animal and the light source.
The UVB 2.0 rating is intended for setups requiring relatively low UVB exposure. Before choosing this bulb, check your reptile’s specific lighting requirements to ensure it is suitable for the species you keep.
