Product Description
The Reptile One Tube UVB 5.0 36W 48in T8 is a UVB fluorescent tube designed for compatible reptile enclosure lighting systems. It provides UVB lighting for suitable reptile species and can help support vitamin D3 production and calcium absorption when used correctly as part of an appropriate habitat setup.
UVB lighting is an important part of reptile husbandry. Many reptiles rely on suitable UVB exposure to help produce vitamin D3, which assists calcium absorption and supports normal bone development. Choosing the correct UVB tube for your reptile’s species and enclosure helps provide appropriate lighting conditions.
With a length of 48 inches (approximately 120cm) and a 36W rating, this tube is designed for compatible T8 fluorescent fittings. It is suitable for reptile keepers looking to replace an existing compatible UVB tube or maintain their enclosure’s lighting system.

Installation and Usage Guidelines
Before purchasing, check that your existing fitting is compatible with a 48-inch, 36W T8 tube. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and replacement intervals because UVB output gradually decreases during use.
Choose the UVB rating and tube position according to your reptile’s species-specific needs. The distance between the light and the reptile affects UVB exposure, so follow the manufacturer’s positioning recommendations. Provide shaded areas within the enclosure so your reptile can move away from direct UVB exposure when needed.
Important: UVB requirements vary between reptile species. Confirm that UVB 5.0 is suitable for your reptile and enclosure before selecting this tube.
