Not intended as a UVB or basking light source for reptiles and amphibians that need those wavelengths — the TerraSky is a plant-growth and display fixture, and a species with UVB or high-heat basking requirements still needs a dedicated UVB lamp and heat source alongside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP54-rated housing tolerates splashes and the humidity of a planted terrarium, but the fixture is not designed to be submerged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug into a standard AU household outlet; keep the power adapter and remote receiver away from direct water contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount using the supplied extendable brackets rather than resting the fixture directly on wet substrate or glass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the housing and lens down periodically to clear misting residue and mineral deposits, which reduce light output over time if left to build up.
