The Reptile
Systems D3 6% UVB lamps are designed specifically for rainforest dwelling
species such as Chameleons, Water Dragons and Crested Geckos. These lamps help
your reptile generate vitamin D3 when they bask under it, allowing them to
absorb the calcium in their diet and use it to build strong skeletons. This is
an extremely important part of reptile keeping and without D3 UV and calcium,
your reptile can develop problems like Metabolic Bone Disease.
These T5
florescent bulbs are much more powerful than standard T8 bulbs and a lot more
efficient.
For best results, use with a T5 electronic
controller and replace after 1 year of normal use. This light will only operate
if used with the correct T5 electronic ballast. It is strongly recommended by
Reptile Systems to position the UV light 15cm to 20cm away from the reptile.
