Exo Terra UVB100 T5 VHO Bulb Exo Terra UVB100 T5 VHO Bulb – High quality lamp, ensuring a prolonged UV output of 12 months for lasting performance. With its intense output of UVA and UVB rays – combined with a well-balanced visible light spectrum – the bulb is specifically designed to meet the needs of reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates inhabiting the Cryptophotic Zone. The intensity of the emissions varies depending on the distance from the basking area. Appropriate levels of UV are vital for the physiological wellbeing of these animals. They exhibit an aversion to direct solar exposure. Typically known as ‘shade dwellers’, these animals have adapted to nocturnal and crepuscular activity – opting for either deliberate or concealed exposure to sunlight. The Exo Terra® Reptile UVB100 VHO T5 Bulb helps promote healthy Vitamin D3 synthesis. This in turn facilitates improved calcium absorption – safeguarding against Metabolic Bone Disease. Its UVA and UVB emissions surpass those of traditional T8 bulbs and energy-efficient alternatives, while enhanced UVB penetration extends its suitability for use in taller terrariums or those equipped with denser screens. Key Features & Benefits: Long lasting Very High Output (VHO) UVA & UVB light Unique phosphor blend replicates solar UVB Suitable for nocturnal and crepuscular animals UVA rays stimulate appetite, activity and also reproductive behaviour UVB helps prevent Metabolic Bone Disease Helps promote healthy Vitamin D3 synthesis Maximizes calcium absorption Replicates vital parts of the sunlight spectrum.
