Arcadia D3 Reptile Lamps D3 Reptile Lamp for healthy reptiles 5% UVB for the synthesis of vitamin D3 (6% for latest versions) Full spectrum lamp Produces excellent natural colours Why a dedicated reptile lamp?... In nature, the sun provides a wealth of light at high intensity for daylight loving reptiles, which can often be seen basking in the sun's rays. This is not just for warmth, but to assist in the synthesis of vitamin D3 which promotes good health in these reptiles. The lamp is recommended for most daylight reptiles, including iguanas, bearded dragons, skinks, chameleons, lizards and tortoises High in UVB for vitamin D3 synthesis... Most reptiles need to synthesize vitamin D3 in their skin for their healthy growth. Ultra violet light of a particular wave band, known as UVB (290-320 nm), is required, and is produced by the Arcadia D3 Reptile lamp. UVB is not present in sufficient quantities in normal full spectrum fluorescent lamps, because the glass absorbs UVB, whereas the D3 Arcadia lamp uses a special glass designed to allow through sufficient yet safe levels of UVB and UVA Click Here for More Information    Arcadia D3 Reptile Lamp 15w 18in.    £28.75    Arcadia D3 Reptile Lamp 18w 24in.    £29.75    Arcadia D3 Reptile Lamp 25w 30in.    £32.25    Arcadia D3 Reptile Lamp 30w 36in.    £34.99    Arcadia D3 Reptile Lamp 38w 42in.    £38.49    Arcadia D3 Reptile Lamp 36w 48in.    £40.99 Arcadia D3+ Desert Reptile Lamps Desert reptile species in particular are naturally exposed to strong sunlight and require relatively high concentrations of UV-B light and so should be kept under a 12% UV-B D3+ Reptile Lamp. 12% UVB for the synthesis of vitamin D3 Full spectrum lamp Produces excellent natural colours As a full spectrum lamp, the Arcadia D3+ Reptile lamp simulates sunlight.

It is a single ended lamp, with a standard E27 screw fitting, which can be used in a small vivarium, where installation of a tube may not be convenient, to provide complete illumination.  Alternatively, it can be used in a medium to large vivarium to create a basking area within the enclosure. In either case, using the Arcadia Compact reflector, will maximise the light output. This 23Watt energy saving lamp, actually has an output equivalent to a regular bulb of 120Watts, and does not require the use of a ballasted controller, as in the case of regular fluorescent tubes.    Arcadia D3 Compact Reptile Lamp    £40.49
