Product Description

The Reptile One T5 Reptile UVB 7% Tube 8W is a specialist reptile lighting tube designed to provide UVB lighting for compatible reptile enclosures. With a length of 282mm (11 inches) and an 8W rating, it is intended for use in a suitable T5 lighting fixture.

UVB lighting plays an important role in reptile care by helping suitable species synthesise vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption and healthy bone development. Providing appropriate UVB exposure can help support your reptile’s wellbeing when combined with a suitable diet, heating and habitat setup.

The 7% UVB rating identifies the tube’s UVB output category. The correct lighting depends on your reptile’s species, enclosure layout, distance from the lamp and access to shaded areas.
