Zoo Med Aquatic Turtle UVB & Heat Lighting Kit

• Mini Combo Deep Dome Lamp Fixture: two 5.5 inch domes in one unit, so the heat lamp and UVB lamp run side by side.
• Repti Tuff Splashproof Halogen, 50 W: a heavy duty halogen lamp made to cope with splashes, for heat, light and UVA.
• ReptiSun 5.0 Mini Compact Fluorescent, 13 W: 5% UVB and 30% UVA, through UVB-transmitting quartz glass. It screws into a standard socket and needs no separate ballast.

• Zoo Med item number: LF-32
• Included: Mini Combo Deep Dome Lamp Fixture (LF-19), Repti Tuff Splashproof Halogen Lamp 50 W (OH-50), ReptiSun 5.0 Mini Compact Fluorescent 13 W (FS-C5M)
• UVB lamp output: 5% UVB, 30% UVA

Suitable as a starter lighting set for an aquatic turtle tank, positioned over the basking dock. The basking lamp gives bright light, so it is not a night heat source.

Do not put glass or plastic between the UVB lamp and your turtle, as both block UVB. Zoo Med says the ReptiSun 5.0 Mini gives optimum UVB for 12 months and should be replaced once a year, even if it still lights.

Mount the fixture securely where the turtle cannot reach the lamps, do not exceed the wattage printed on the fixture, and let lamps cool before handling. Control the heat lamp with a thermostat or rheostat and check the basking temperature with a thermometer. The ReptiSun lamp contains mercury, so take a used one to a lamp recycling drop-off rather than the household bin.

Zoo Med lists a 1 year warranty on the fixture and the ReptiSun lamp and 3 months on the Repti Tuff lamp, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ships by standard parcel post.
