The 15W 18 - inch T8 Fluorescent Reptile UVB Tube Light is an essential lighting component for reptile habitats, especially for tortoises and bearded dragons.
This tube light is designed with a specific power output of 15 watts. This power level is carefully calibrated to provide sufficient light intensity without overheating or causing harm to the reptiles. The 18 - inch length makes it a perfect fit for standard reptile enclosures of various sizes. Its T8 fluorescent design ensures efficient light distribution within the enclosure.
The UVB rating of 10.0 is of utmost importance. UVB light is a key factor in the health and well - being of reptiles. For tortoises, proper UVB exposure is crucial for their shell development. The UVB rays penetrate the skin and trigger the synthesis of vitamin D3. Vitamin D3, in turn, enables the reptile's body to absorb calcium from the food they consume. In the case of bearded dragons, UVB light is vital for maintaining strong bones, preventing metabolic bone disease which can lead to deformities and other health issues.
This bulb serves as an ideal light source. It mimics the natural sunlight conditions that these reptiles would experience in their native habitats. The light not only provides the necessary UVB for physiological functions but also creates a day - night cycle that helps regulate the reptile's behavior. During the day, the light stimulates activity, such as foraging and basking, while at night, the absence of light prompts the reptiles to rest. Overall, this 15W 18 - inch T8 Fluorescent Reptile UVB Tube Light is a reliable and necessary tool for reptile keepers to ensure the health and vitality of their beloved pets.
