Solar Glo UVA/UVB Heat and Sunlight E27 Exoterra
The Solar Glo UVA/UVB Heat & Sunlight E27 from Exoterra is a high-performance lamp designed for reptiles and amphibians, which mimics natural sunlight. It combines both heat and UV radiation (UVA and UVB) in a single bulb, providing animals with a necessary spectrum of light for their health and well-being. Here’s a closer look at what each bulb offers, including the available wattages (80W, 125W, and 160W):
Important Features
- Combined Light and Heat:
- Provides both visible light and infrared heat, creating a natural sunlight environment for reptiles.
- The combination of UVA and UVB stimulates natural behavior and improves the animals’ physiological processes.
- UVA rays:
- Important for the daily activity cycle, appetite, and general well-being of reptiles.
- UVB rays:
- Essential for the synthesis of vitamin D3, which is necessary for the absorption of calcium.
- Prevents metabolic bone diseases that can occur due to a lack of UVB.
- Heat:
- Contributes to thermoregulation, which is critical for reptiles’ digestion and immune systems.
Wattages
80W
- Application: Ideal for smaller terrariums and reptiles that need moderate amounts of heat and UV rays.
- Temperature: Provides sufficient heat to maintain optimal temperatures in smaller rooms.
- UV Emission: Meets the needs of most small to medium sized reptiles and amphibians.
125W
- Application: Suitable for medium-sized terrariums with reptiles that have higher requirements for heat and UV rays.
- Temperature: Provides more heat, suitable for medium-sized environments where a greater temperature gradient is required.
- UV Emission: Improved UV penetration for medium-sized reptiles.
160W
- Application: Perfect for large terrariums and reptiles with higher requirements for heat and UV rays.
- Temperature: Produces significant heat, ideal for large terrariums where higher temperatures are necessary.
- UV Emission: Powerful UVB emission for large reptiles and deep terrariums where light needs to penetrate deeper.
Benefits
- Easy Installation: E27 socket that fits standard fixtures.
- Long Life: Designed for long-term use with consistent UV and heat performance.
- Holistic Spectrum: Ensures that reptiles receive a complete spectrum of light that mimics natural sunlight conditions.
Recommendations for Use
- Positioning: Place the lamp so that the reptile has access to both heat and UV zones for optimal thermoregulation.
- Safety: Make sure the lamp is securely mounted and cannot come into direct contact with the animals, to avoid burns.
- Maintenance: Replace the lamp regularly according to the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure UVB performance remains effective.
Exo Terra’s Solar Glo lamps provide an all-in-one solution to meet the light and heat needs of reptiles, helping to keep them healthy and active in their terrarium environment. Can also be used as a heat lamp for puppies, kittens and small animals
