Product Description
The Reptile One T5 Reptile UVB 7% Tube 54W is a specialist reptile lighting tube designed to provide UVB lighting for compatible reptile enclosures. Measuring 1147mm (45 inches), it is intended for use with a compatible T5 lighting fixture.
UVB lighting is an important part of reptile husbandry for species that require ultraviolet B exposure. Appropriate UVB helps reptiles synthesise vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption and healthy bone development. It should be combined with suitable heating, nutrition and habitat conditions.
The 7% UVB rating identifies the tube’s UVB output category. The appropriate UVB setup depends on your reptile’s species, the distance from the tube, enclosure design and access to shaded areas.
