The Reptile Nova UVA-UVB 80W lamp provides an optimal combination of ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB), visible light, and infrared radiation in a single light source. This solution mimics natural sunlight, supporting the proper growth of animals and preventing metabolic bone diseases.
It is a full-spectrum lamp that supports essential physiological processes such as feeding, vital activity, and reproduction. An appropriate level of ultraviolet radiation has a beneficial effect on the metabolism and overall condition of terrarium animals.
It is important to remember that the intensity of ultraviolet radiation gradually decreases over time with use. It is recommended to replace the lamp at least once every 12 months.
When selecting lighting, the requirements of the specific animal species should be taken into account. It is recommended to maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm between the lamp and the animal, with a maximum effective radiation range of 60 cm.
80W:
- nocturnal/shade-dwelling reptiles: distance from basking spot 45–55 cm
- tropical reptiles: distance from basking spot 35–45 cm
- desert reptiles: distance from basking spot 25–35 cm
Ideal use for:
- small terrariums
- tropical reptiles
- young specimens
Safe duration of the UVB lighting cycle for different species:
- nocturnal/shade-dwelling reptiles: 4–6 hours
- tropical reptiles: 8–10 hours
- desert reptiles: 10–12 hours
