Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Desert Compact Fluorescent Lamp Regular White 26W

Bring the warmth and brilliance of natural sunlight to your reptile’s enclosure for optimal health and activity. Create a bright, naturalistic habitat that supports basking, feeding, and overall vitality for desert-dwelling reptiles.

The Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Desert Compact Fluorescent Lamp Mini White 26W provides the perfect balance of UVB and UVA light for reptiles that thrive in arid environments.  The Zoo Med Reptile Lamp is designed using UVB-transmitting quartz glass, ensuring maximum light penetration for better calcium metabolism. These reptile heat lamps emit a cool-burning, full-spectrum light that encourages natural reptile behaviors and promotes bone health.

• Constructed from high-grade quartz glass and aluminum components, this bulb provides enhanced UV transmission and durability.  The internal phosphor coating ensures consistent, full-spectrum light output over the bulb’s lifespan.

• Avoid direct eye contact with the bulb when lit.
• Do not spray water or mist directly onto the lamp.
• Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.
• Turn off and unplug before cleaning or handling the fixture.
• Always monitor your reptile’s behavior to ensure appropriate heat and light levels.

• Install in a standard threaded socket. No separate ballast required.
• Place the lamp within 12–18 inches of your reptile’s basking area for the best UVB exposure.
• Use with Zoo Med Mini Deep Dome Lamp Fixtures or Naturalistic Terrarium Hoods for secure placement.
• Operate the lamp 10–12 hours daily to mimic natural daylight cycles.
• Replace the bulb every 12 months for consistent UVB performance, even if light output appears unchanged.
