Full Product Description
The Reptile One Tube UVB 10.0 Reptile 36W 48in T8 is a UVB fluorescent tube designed for compatible reptile enclosure lighting systems. It provides UVB lighting for reptile species that require an appropriate level of UVB exposure as part of their habitat.
UVB lighting plays an important role in reptile care by helping reptiles produce vitamin D3, which supports calcium absorption and normal bone development. Providing suitable UVB exposure, alongside a balanced diet and appropriate enclosure temperatures, can help support healthy calcium metabolism.
This Reptile One UVB tube features a 10.0 UVB rating, a 36W power rating and a length of 48 inches (approximately 120cm). Its T8 design is intended for compatible fluorescent lighting fittings, making it an option for replacing an existing compatible UVB tube.

Installation and Care Guidelines
Before purchasing, confirm that your existing light fitting supports a 48-inch, 36W T8 tube. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and recommended replacement interval, as UVB output gradually decreases with use.
Select the UVB level and installation distance according to your reptile’s species-specific requirements. A UVB 10.0 tube is not automatically suitable for every reptile, and the distance from the light affects the amount of UVB received. Provide shaded areas within the enclosure so your reptile can move away from direct exposure.
Important: Check your reptile’s lighting requirements and the compatibility of your fixture before installation.
