UVB Bulb 26 Watt

$19.99 $17.99

Bring the outdoor sun indoors for your pets with Exotic Nutrition's UVA/UVB Bulb. Emits the ideal UVB spectrum for optimal Vitamin D3 photosynthesis. The UVA/UVB Bulb is especially designed to simulate conditions for reptiles with very high UV requirements, like diurnal reptiles from desert environments. These areas receive direct unfiltered sunlight with high levels of UVB. The significantly high Vitamin D3 yield index results in increased vitamin D3 photosynthesis to aid calcium absorption and prevent metabolic diseases. The extended UVB penetration makes this bulb the ideal choice for taller terrariums or terrariums with denser screens. This bulb is specially designed to provide beneficial UVA and UVB―the full spectrum of natural sunlight to make vitamin D3 which is essential for growth, overall health, and reproduction.

Key Benefits

  • Provides beneficial UVA and UVB light that pets need for overall health and wellbeing.
  • UVB is needed to make vitamin D3 (for better calcium absorption) for normal growth and development, and reproduction.
  • Your pets use UVA to see colors, which benefits psychological health in your feathered pal.
  • The compact fluorescent bulb is self-ballasted so you can use it in most fixtures and uses 26 watts of power.
  • Easy to set up both indoors and outdoors and requires no assembly or extra converters to use.

Wattage: 26 Watt

Measurements: 7 x 3 x 3 Inches

Instructions: Simply screw the compact fluorescent bulb into fixture, turn fixture on. Your lamp will provide beneficial UVA and UVB for a period of 12 months.

Before you turn your lamp on for the first time, date the base of the lamp to remind yourself when to replace it.

I recently bought another UV Bulb to replace the one that came with the lamp I bought a few months ago. So far, this light is brighter, has a whiter light, and my birb seems to enjoy it. 10/10 would recommend…

We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying the brightness and whiter light of the new bulb, and that your birb is loving it too!
