ReptiSun 10.0™ Perfect for all desert and basking reptiles! 10% UVB Output, 30% UVA Output, FULL SPECTRUM The new ReptiSun Compact Fluorescent lamps use a special UVB transmitting quartz glass for maximum UVB penetration. Cool burning compact fl uorescent bulbs screw into standard threaded sockets, eliminating the need for a separate ballast. Lamp can be oriented either vertically or horizontally in your reptile hood or clamp lamp fixture. UVB emissions help prevent or reverse metabolic bone disease and UVA increases feeding, mating, and other natural behaviors.
ReptiSun 5.0 and 10.0 Compact Fluorescent: Compact fluorescent lamps have a screw base and
screw into a standard clamp lamp fixture. They are self-ballasted and do not require a separate
ballast. These also provide UVB, UVA, and visible light. They do not provide heat. The compact
fluorescent ReptiSun is offered in the same two models (5.0 and 10.0) as the linear fluorescent line.
Again, heat is necessary for vitamin D3 synthesis and must be provided by a separate heat source.
These lamps offer the convenience of providing UVB using a standard screw-base type fixture.
