## Overview

The Zoo Med ReptiSun Tropical Compact Fluorescent UVB Lamp delivers a precise 5% UVB and 30% UVA full spectrum output in a compact 26W CFL design. Engineered with UVB-transmitting quartz glass, it supports calcium metabolism and prevents metabolic bone disease in tropical reptiles. Trusted by professionals, it fits standard E26 sockets and emits low heat, making it an essential, energy-efficient lighting solution for healthy, vibrant reptile habitats.

## Description

ReptiSun® 5.0 - Perfect for all tropical species of reptiles and amphibians. 5% 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 fluorescent 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.

Review: Reliable lamp and less expensive at desertcart - I just purchased my 4th Reptisun CFL (in over 2 years) and I would swear by them. The bulb emits steady, bright light without much heat, which is perfect as I have separate lights and devices to control heat. I live in the mid-Atlantic which means we cannot have our skinks' habitat near a window at least 4 months out of the year. This light provides plenty of UV especially in those dark winter months. I have it in a 12" hood and the light reflects to light all of a medium-sized terrarium very well. The light spectrum is a cool blue. The only drawback is the lamp itself will continue to work long after the UV effects have (theoretically) diminished, but there's no way to tell that it has happened. I have to set a reminder to re-order; what I do is write the date I started using it on the bulb's base with a Sharpie, and then set a calendar reminder to re-order. Our Pet* stores usually charge close to the MSRP (high $30s to low $40s), even on sale. I still purchase at the store if it is convenient, but as long ass my reminder system is working I prefer to purchase through desertcart because I'll be saving at least $10 even if there is a sale at the Pet* store.
Review: Great Bulb - We have used these bulbs for years. They work very well and last a very long time. Highly recommend.
