Product Description
The Reptile One T5 Reptile UVB 7% Tube 24W is a specialist reptile lighting tube designed to provide UVB lighting for compatible reptile enclosures. Measuring 549mm (22 inches), this tube is intended for use with a suitable T5 lighting fixture.
UVB lighting is an important part of reptile husbandry for species that require UVB exposure. It helps reptiles produce vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption and contributes to healthy bone development. Appropriate UVB lighting should be combined with suitable heating, nutrition and habitat conditions.
The 7% UVB rating identifies the tube’s UVB output category. The appropriate UVB level and positioning depend on the reptile species, enclosure design and distance from the light source.
