Key features
  • Very high UVB output for desert species with high UV needs.
  • Longer reach for tall terrariums, or for mounting on top of a dense screen.
  • Very high vitamin D3 yield (Exo Terra's measure of how well the light drives vitamin D3 production) to support calcium absorption.
  • Linear tube that spreads light along its length rather than from a single point.
Specifications
  • Lengths and wattages: 45 cm 15 W, 60 cm 18 W, 75 cm 25 W, 90 cm 30 W, 120 cm 36 W
  • Format: T8 linear fluorescent tube (T8 means a tube 25 mm across); needs a T8 fluorescent fixture of the matching wattage
  • Rating: UVB200, the strongest of Exo Terra's three T8 ratings (UVB100, UVB150, UVB200)
Suitable for, and not suitable for

Suitable for desert reptiles with very high UV requirements, tall enclosures, and setups where the tube sits above a dense screen. Not suitable for shade-dwelling or tropical species, which Exo Terra covers with the UVB100. Follow the distance guidance on the pack and always give the animal shaded areas it can move to. It is not a heat source, so pair it with a suitable basking lamp.

Care

A fluorescent tube can keep lighting after its UVB output has dropped, so replace it on the schedule given on the packaging rather than waiting for it to fail. Glass, acrylic and fine mesh between the tube and the animal block part of the UVB, so mount it where it has a clear path to the basking area. Give the animal shaded areas it can retreat to, away from the tube.

Safety

Switch off and let the tube cool before changing it, and avoid looking straight at the lit tube.
