12 Inch T5 UVB Reptile Light 8W High Output for Bearded Dragons & Tortoises

About this item

Give your terrarium inhabitant the essential UVB they need for strong bones and a healthy appetite. This 12-inch T5 8W fixture delivers high-output UVA/UVB light with a polished aluminum reflector that intensifies the rays while the aluminum frame dissipates heat effectively. The replaceable bulb makes maintenance easy, and the included on/off switch and detachable power cord give you flexible placement in or on your setup. Choose the 5.0 bulb for rainforest species like chameleons, tree frogs, and geckos, or go with the 10.0 for desert/tropical reptiles including bearded dragons, iguanas, and tortoises. The fixture works great on top of a terrarium or mounted inside mesh and wooden tanks. For best results, replace the bulb every six to twelve months to keep UVB levels stable and support your pet's calcium metabolism, appetite, and activity.
