Maximum Distance: 12"

Usage Guidelines:

We highly advise pairing this bulb with a Solarmeter 6.5 to verify that your reptile receives the correct UVB levels.

For safety and to avoid overheating, use this bulb with a wire lamp fixture.

This bulb is ideal for enclosures with a height of at least 18". Be sure to understand your reptile’s specific UVB needs and adjust the bulb-to-basking area distance as necessary.

Depending on your reptile’s requirements, you may need an extra halogen heat bulb or UVB source to achieve the right temperature or UVB gradient. Always monitor the basking spot temperature closely and adjust the fixture height to prevent overheating. Double-check the basking area heat to ensure your reptile’s safety!
