Exo Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Fluorescent Tropical Terrarium Lamps, 13 Watt (2 Pack)

The Exo Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Tropical Terrarium Lamp is designed to provide a moderate to high UVB output, similar to the shady environments found in rain forests and other tropical locations. Reptiles living in these habitats typically receive less UV radiation due to the various climatological conditions that prevent direct sunlight from reaching them or their basking sites. The advantage of the Exo Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Tropical Terrarium Lamp lies in its compact size and the fact that it is self-ballasted, allowing for a regular screw fitting to be used for operation.

With a wattage of 13, the spiral shape of the bulb enables vertical or horizontal mounting without compromising its performance. While light is a complex phenomenon, three key aspects are essential for reptile husbandry: ultraviolet light, visible light, and infrared light. To create these three biological aspects of sunlight artificially, Exo Terra has developed several specialized lights.

Reptiles require appropriate and high-quality lighting to meet their various metabolic needs. Unfortunately, fluorescent bulbs tend to lose their UV radiation and approximately 50% of their lighting output quality within one year. Regularly changing the terrarium bulb is essential to ensure optimal light conditions and UV radiation, which is crucial for the health and well-being of your reptiles.

The pack of 2 Exo Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Fluorescent Tropical Terrarium Lamps, each with a 13-watt capacity, is designed to stimulate appetite, activity, and reproductive behavior through UVA radiation. These lamps are ideal for all tropical and sub-tropical reptiles, providing a high UVB output that is effective up to 12 inches. For a higher visual light output, it is recommended to use these lamps in combination with the Repti-Glo 2.0.
