MVL mercury lamps

Mercury vapor lamps are an all-in-one solution. These lamps provide warmth, UVA, UVB radiation and pleasant visual light. All lamps have built-in ballasts and should always be used in ceramic/porcelain E27 sockets.

The standard series of RepTech mercury vapor lamps has a diameter of 12 cm - for comparison, the MVL 80W MINI lamp has a diameter of 8 cm. The larger glass case offers more space for internal parts and better heat dissipation.

The larger glass housing also allows for better diffusion of light, creating a larger basking area. The average lifespan of these bulbs is 8 to 12 months with normal use. We do not recommend the use of lamps with thermostats because frequent switching on and off of the lamp leads to a rapid decrease in lamp life. The glass is lightly coated for optimum performance and a pleasant color spectrum.

How to use REPTECH UV Mercury Vapor Lamp 3in1 d120 mm

Please note that glass usually blocks UV rays and for this reason all UV bulbs must be inside the terrarium. Only in this way can the bulb ensure proper emission of UV-A and UV-B beams. In addition, please remember that due to the characteristics of the lamp - mercury bulbs must be mounted vertically downwards! Mounting at an angle shortens their life.

Vitamin D3 sythesis

Birds and reptiles, unlike humans, have the appropriate receptors for receiving the ultraviolet range. The lack of the range of UV rays in the lighting provided to our charges is often underestimated by caregivers, because, as mentioned, a person cannot perceive this light and focuses on lighting in the range of visible light for himself. In the case of reptiles, ultraviolet is necessary not only for the synthesis of vitamin D3, but also allows animals to search for food, recognize the environment and sexual partners
