Product Description

The Reptile One T5 Reptile UVB 12% Tube 24W is a specialist reptile lighting tube designed to provide UVB exposure for compatible reptile enclosures. Measuring 549mm (22 inches), it is intended for use with a suitable T5 lighting fixture.

UVB lighting plays an important role in reptile care for species that require ultraviolet B exposure. It helps reptiles synthesise vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption and healthy bone development. Providing appropriate UVB lighting alongside suitable heating, nutrition and habitat conditions helps support overall reptile wellbeing.

The 12% UVB rating identifies the tube’s UVB output category. This level may be appropriate for certain species and enclosure arrangements, depending on the distance from the light and the availability of shaded areas. Always choose UVB lighting according to your reptile’s specific requirements.
