Product Description
The Reptile One Tube UVB 10.0 18W 24in T8 is a UVB fluorescent lighting tube designed for compatible reptile enclosures. It provides UVB lighting for reptiles that require an appropriate level of UVB exposure as part of their daily habitat conditions.
UVB lighting plays an important role in reptile care by helping reptiles produce vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption and normal bone development. Choosing the correct UVB lighting is essential, as different reptile species have different requirements depending on their natural environment, behaviour and enclosure setup.
This Reptile One tube features a UVB 10.0 rating, an 18W power rating and a 24-inch (approximately 60cm) length. Its T8 design is intended for compatible T8 fluorescent light fittings, making it a potential replacement for an existing compatible UVB tube.

Installation and Care Guidelines
Before purchasing, confirm that your existing light fitting supports a 24-inch, 18W T8 tube. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation, positioning and replacement intervals. UVB output gradually decreases over time, even when the tube still appears to be working.
Select the UVB level and distance based on your reptile’s species-specific needs. A UVB 10.0 tube is not automatically suitable for every reptile. Provide shaded areas within the enclosure so your pet can move between different light conditions, and follow appropriate guidance for the species you keep.
Important: A UVB tube is only one part of a complete reptile habitat. Suitable temperatures, basking areas, shade and access to fresh water are also important for reptile care.
