Desert 5.0 UVB T5 Lamp High-Output T5 HO Reptile UVB Light Kit 8W

• The T5 HO (High - Output) system provides a more intense and efficient light output compared to standard T5 fluorescent lights. This allows for better penetration of light into the enclosure, which is crucial for animals that require UVB radiation for various physiological processes such as vitamin D3 synthesis. The high - output nature of the T5 lamp means that it can cover a relatively larger area effectively, providing more uniform lighting conditions for the inhabitants of the terrarium or enclosure.

• The Desert 5.0 UVB T5 Lamp is specifically designed to emit UVB radiation. The "5.0" rating indicates the level of UVB output, which is suitable for desert - dwelling species. UVB light is essential for reptiles and other animals as it helps in the metabolism of calcium. In the desert environment, animals have evolved to rely on specific intensities of UVB light to maintain healthy bones, proper growth, and other physiological functions. This lamp provides a reliable source of the necessary UVB wavelengths (usually in the range of 290 - 320 nanometers) that these desert - adapted animals need.
