Arcadia Euro-Range Desert 10% UV Tube 45cm (18") 15W

The Arcadia Euro-Range Desert 10% UV Tube is a high-output T8 fluorescent UVB lamp designed for reptiles that require moderate to higher levels of UVB.

The 10% UVB output helps support natural vitamin D3 production and calcium metabolism, while the UVA output helps encourage normal activity and natural behaviours. The lamp produces a 6600K colour temperature and excellent colour rendition, helping animals appear naturally coloured within the enclosure.

The 45cm (18") 15W version is ideal for smaller vivariums and is designed to be used with a compatible T8 fluorescent fitting and reflector. Arcadia states that the Euro-Range provides approximately 9 months of useful UVB output, after which the lamp should be replaced even if it continues to produce visible light.
