The Reptile Nova UVA-UVB 160W lamp provides an optimal combination of ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB), visible light, and infrared radiation (heat) in a single light source. This solution mimics natural sunlight, supporting proper animal development 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 the terrarium animals.
The intensity of ultraviolet radiation gradually decreases over time, so it is recommended to replace the lamp at least once every 12 months. When selecting lighting, you should consider the specific needs of the animal species and maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm between the lamp and the animal. The maximum effective radiation range is 60 cm.
