Arcadia D3+ Dragon UV Reptile Lamp -

14% UVB, 30%UVA, 8000 Kelvin

The Arcadia T5 D3+ Dragon with 14% UVB is a special UVB fluorescent lamp for reptiles, especially bearded dragons, spiny-tailed dragons or collared iguanas and other species with high UVB requirements. Here are some important points about this lamp:

UVB output:

The 14% UVB output indicates that this lamp emits a high proportion of UVB radiation in relation to visible light. This makes it suitable for reptile species such as bearded dragons that have evolved in environments with intense sunlight and therefore require higher UVB levels.

Full spectrum lighting:

Similar to other high-quality UVB lamps for reptiles, the Arcadia T5 D3+ Dragon offers a balanced spectrum of visible light. This full spectrum lighting is important for the overall well-being of your reptiles, affecting behavior, feeding and thermoregulation.

T5 design:

The T5 design is energy efficient and long lasting, making it a popular choice for reptile keepers. It offers a good balance between UVB output and energy consumption.

Use and placement:

Proper installation and positioning of the lamp in the reptile enclosure is crucial to ensure your reptiles receive adequate UVB exposure. Make sure you follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the distance between the lamp and your reptiles.

Species-specific requirements:

It is important that you match the UVB lamp to the specific requirements of your reptile species. Some species, such as bearded dragons, will benefit from higher levels of UVB, while others may require lower levels. Seek advice from a vet or reptile expert to determine if the lamp is suitable for your particular reptile.

Regular replacement:

Like all UVB lamps, the Arcadia T5 D3+ Dragon fluorescent tube will deteriorate over time, resulting in a reduction in UVB output. To maintain the health of your reptiles, you should replace the lamp at regular intervals, usually every 12 months or 3600hrs.

It is important to keep up to date with the latest recommendations and product information as advances in reptile lighting and care may occur over time. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult with us as reptile experts or expert veterinarians who specialize in reptile care to ensure you are creating the right lighting conditions for your particular reptile species. Proper UVB lighting is critical to the well-being of captive reptiles.
