Reptile UVB Fluorescent Bulb, 17W, 24-Inch
Category: zoo med reptisun 10.0 uvb
The ReptiSun 10.0 is a high-quality German-made bulb that emits a full 20/51cm of UVB from the surface of the lamp, which is significantly more than the 12"/30cm emitted by the ReptiSun 5.0. This increased UVB penetration is optimal for use with larger terrariums where greater than 12 inches of UVB coverage is required, as it can help prevent or reverse metabolic bone disease in reptiles.
In addition to the high UVB output, the ReptiSun 10.0 also boasts a 30% UVA output, providing a comprehensive spectrum of UV radiation essential for the health and well-being of various reptile species. The combination of the high-quality German bulb, the powerful UVB emission, and the balanced UVA output makes the ReptiSun 10.0 an excellent choice for reptile owners seeking to create the optimal lighting environment for their pets.
It's worth noting that the ReptiSun 10.0 is particularly recommended for use in settings where the UVB rays need to penetrate through screen covers, as these can filter out up to 50% of the UVB wavelengths. By utilizing the ReptiSun 10.0, reptile owners can ensure that their animals receive the necessary UVB exposure, even in enclosures with screen covers, helping to prevent or reverse metabolic bone disease.
