Exo Terra designs it to give UVB, which lets reptiles make vitamin D3 for calcium metabolism and helps prevent metabolic bone disease (a calcium and bone disorder), plus UVA, visible light and infrared heat for basking. Exo Terra now lists this bulb as the Solar Glo Wide Beam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll in one\u003c\/strong\u003e: UVB, UVA, visible light and heat from a single screw-in bulb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLonger UVB reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: Exo Terra rates its UVB penetration distance as about 30 cm (12 inches) further than its fluorescent UVB lamps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo separate ballast\u003c\/strong\u003e: fits a standard ceramic socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: self-ballasted mercury vapour lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWattages on this listing: 80 W, 125 W and 160 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExo Terra item numbers: PT2334 (80 W), PT2192 (125 W), PT2193 (160 W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput: UVB, UVA, visible light and infrared heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm up: about 5 minutes to reach full output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestart: needs about 15 minutes to cool down after switching off before it will start again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable fixtures: Exo Terra lists its Light Dome, Reptile Dome and Wire Light (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for basking reptiles that need both UVB and heat from above, in an enclosure with enough height to keep the animal at least 30 cm from the bulb's surface. It cannot be run on a dimmer or thermostat, so the temperature is set by the wattage you choose and the height of the bulb: check the basking spot with a thermometer before the animal goes in. Not a night heat source, because it gives off bright light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse only a fixture with a ceramic (porcelain) socket rated for at least the bulb's wattage; Exo Terra warns that a plastic socket is a fire hazard. Mount it so the bulb points straight down, not at an angle. Do not use it with a dimmer or thermostat. Keep the animal at least 30 cm from the bulb. The glass gets very hot, so let it cool before handling. The bulb contains mercury, so take a spent bulb to a lamp recycling drop-off rather than the household bin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny manufacturer's warranty applies in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
