The Exo Terra Solar Glo Sun Simulating Lamp is the solution to one of the most important aspects of keeping reptiles and amphibians, providing the benefits of natural sunlight.

The proper balance of ultraviolet light (including UVA and UVB), visual light and infrared light (heat) in one easy-to-install bulb makes the Exo Terra Solar Glo the choice of professional breeders.

The Solar Glo is a full spectrum light with carefully tuned peaks to ensure appetite, activity, brilliant colours, and calcium absorption through Vitamin D3 production, and above all to prevent metabolic bone disease.

The Exo Terra Solar Glo is available in two wattages, 125 W and 160 W. Exo Terra refrained from developing lower wattages as lower wattages simply do not generate enough heat for these self-ballasted bulbs to work properly, making them unstable and unreliable.

The 160w Solar Glo is designed for very large terrariums (with a minimum height of 120cm, 48in), room or walk-in enclosures, and for veterinary use

The 125w Solar Glo is more appropriate for medium to large size terrariums with a minimum height of 80cm, 30in

If the bulb is mounted inside the terrarium, then the minimum height is 120cm, 48in, for the 125w, and 150cm,60in, for the 160w Solar Glo.

Be sure to provide enough space to allow the animal to be a minimum of 30cm, 12in, from the bulb's surface, in addition to providing a temperature and UV gradient within the terrarium

The Solar Glo UV is guaranteed to light for six months from the date of purchase under normal daily usage

If your lamp fails before the warranty period is over, return it (with proof of purchase date) for exchange

Please Note : The Solar Glo UV has a built-in overheat protection mechanism that will not permit the bulb to restart for up to 15 minutes if it has been on. Please ensure it is not the overheat protection in operation before returning the lamp under warranty.

If when we check a returned under warranty lamp, it is found to be working, it will be returned to you at your expense.

Mercury vapour spotlights for aquariums and terrariums producing light, heat and UVA & UVB

Bright, white light. High luminous efficiency. Good heat emission

Colour temperature 5.087 kelvin, colour rendition 32 Ra, luminous intensity 5,812 lm

Hobby UV spotlights were specially developed to meet the requirements of terrarium animals, particularly lizards, tortoises and turtles. UVA rays are important factors in skin pigmentation and regeneration. Reptiles exposed to UVA light shed their skin more frequently and easily

UVB rays are indispensible for the production of D3 in the skin of reptiles. Without vitamin D3, the calcium contained in food cannot be processed. This inevitably leads to rachitis, i.e. irreparable damage such as bone and shell softening, deformaties, and muscle weakness

Replux UV Heat D3 Metal halide lamps have been developed especially for big terrariums with a minimum volume of 0,32 m³ and a minimum height of 60 cm.

They are suitable for running the entire day in a terrarium for reptiles with a high requirement for UV like spiny-tailed lizards, Tejus, tortoises and monitors, while providing for Vitamin D3 production.

The minimum distance away from the animals should be 30 cm.

Based on the latest scientific research reptiles not only require UVB and UVA light, but also radiant heat (infrared light), necessary for the optimal metabolic transformation of Provitamins in the reptile skin.

Replux UV Heat D3 mercury vapour lamps ensure the production of essential D3 , helping to avoid metabolic bone disease.

The PowerSun UV is a self-ballasted mercury vapor bulb with two main components.
The first is a standard incandescent filament, which is the first to light.
The second is a mercury vapor arc tube, which takes a few minutes to heat up. There will be a noticeable change in hue (or color) when the bulb is completely warm and fully functioning.
Because the PowerSun UV is a self-ballasted bulb it can be used in any ceramic socket that is rated to handle the wattage.

The PowerSun UV has nickel-plated threads to ensure that it will not corrode in humid reptile habitats. This new bulb also incorporates a short neck design, unique among mercury vapor lamps, that allows it to better fit into "clamp lamp" type fixtures.

PowerSun UV projects useable UVB radiation a far greater distance (up to 6 feet) than conventional fluorescent tubes. This makes it ideal for large enclosures and reptiles with high UV demands.

PowerSun UV has all of the benefits of our award winning ReptiSun bulbs with the added benefit of increased intensity (50ÁW/cm2 UVB) and heat.

UVB radiation has always been the safest, most effective way to ensure proper levels of vitamin D3 in captive reptiles and the PowerSun UV will continue to emit significant levels of UVB for all of its 6,000-hour average life.
