The Arcadia Reptile 14% UV-B ‘DragonLamp’ is Arcadia’s most powerful HO-T5 reptile lamp. Made in Germany by experts to provide not only high quantities of UV-B radiation but to also provide this energy without any limitation to the colour and quantity of visible light.
- Increased light & UV-B
- Long life, 12 month lifespan before a change is required
- Made in Germany by the worlds experts
- 15”/35-40cm upper index basking distance
- No nasty blue/purple colour
- Flicker free
This species need a higher UV Index level, and these bulbs produced a better level than any other available. As typically required, these bulbs should be around 18-24 inches from the animal when used with a reflector, but can be closer if used without a reflector.
Please be aware, that these should not be within a 12″ inches of an animal if used with a reflector, as this can be dangerous. Used in an arboreal vivarium, where a pet can move further from the range, this won’t be a problem.
This is a bright lamp with a 8k kelvin colour, meaning your pet is visible in a pure light without any fake tinting, and will also help with live plants, creating a great natural environment.
INCREASED LIGHT
The Arcadia Reptile ‘DragonLamp’ is a crisp, bold, full-spectrum and VERY bright High-Output T5 UV-B projection lamp for captive reptiles. The lamp represents an almost doubling of light (LUX) and has a CRI of over 95 which will allow you as the keeper to see your animal in all of its natural glory. DragonLamp really does represent the very best of lighting technology.
PERFECT FOR BEARDED DRAGONS
Upper index basking for an arid species such as a Bearded Dragon (UV-I 6.00) is set at a massive 15” or 35-40cm from the reflected lamp to the animals back at the ‘basking’ or shortest point. This will allow you to create ‘wild-like’ indexes of energy with an energy rich, wide basking zone whilst providing ample access to light and shade for natural self-regulation.
HIGH UV-B LEVELS
The increased level of UV-B energy which is balanced with 30% UV-A ensures that this lamp is simply perfect to be used in vivaria of 24”/60cm high or more. It will also help greatly for those that use terraria with a mesh top as the extra energy will allow light to penetrate deeper into the enclosure, providing wild-like indexes of UV-B at a safer distance.
