Compact bulb emitting UVB and UVA radiation, designed for tropical terrariums, emitting UVB levels optimal for tropical and forest animals. Sprial compact lamps are specially designed for small and medium-sized tanks and generate little heat.

Ideal for animals that need UV light to produce vitamin D3, required for a healthy skeleton (calcium absorption). Rainforest animals require type 5.0 lamps, desert animals require type 10.0 lamps which will produce more UVB.

Please note that glass normally stops the UV beams and therefore all UV bulbs must be inside the terrarium. Only this way the bulb can ensure the correct emission of UVA and UVB beams. Birds and reptiles, unlike humans, have appropriate receptors for receiving the ultraviolet range. The lack of a range of UV rays in the lighting provided to our charges is often underestimated by the caregivers, because, as mentioned, people cannot perceive this light and focuses on lighting in the visible light range for themselves. In the case of reptiles, ultraviolet is necessary not only for the synthesis of vitamin D3, but allows animals to search for food, recognize their surroundings and sexual partners
