Product Description
The Reptile One Tube UVB 10.0 15W 18in T8 is a UVB fluorescent tube designed for compatible reptile enclosure lighting systems. It provides UVB lighting for reptiles that require a higher level of UVB exposure than some other species, depending on their natural habitat and individual care requirements.
UVB lighting plays an important role in reptile husbandry by helping reptiles produce vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption and normal bone development. Selecting the correct UVB tube and installing it at the appropriate distance can help provide a suitable lighting environment for your reptile.
This tube measures 18 inches (approximately 45cm) and has a 15W rating. Its T8 design makes it suitable for compatible T8 fluorescent fittings. The UVB 10.0 rating identifies its UVB category, but the appropriate exposure depends on the reptile species, enclosure layout, reflector, distance from the light and available shaded areas.

Installation and Care Guidelines
Before installation, check that your lighting fixture supports an 18-inch, 15W T8 tube. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for fitting, positioning and replacement intervals, as UVB output declines over time.
Choose the UVB level and installation distance according to your reptile’s species-specific requirements. A higher UVB rating is not automatically better for every reptile. Provide shaded areas and allow your reptile to move between different light conditions to avoid excessive exposure.
