It produces UV-A\/violet light only — it emits no UVB and does not supply the D3-synthesis wavelengths reptiles need from a basking or UVB lamp, so it is a viewing accessory, not a health-lighting product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e395 nm LED output\u003c\/strong\u003e — a soft violet glow that makes fluorescent markings and pale colouring on nocturnal invertebrates and reptiles easy to see without a torch or room light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow 5 W draw\u003c\/strong\u003e — runs on the Creatures Dome Lamp Fixture without adding meaningful heat or running cost to a small enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact size\u003c\/strong\u003e — 5.9 cm long, 6.1 cm wide, 6.7 cm high, sized for nano and Creatures-style enclosures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLED, not incandescent\u003c\/strong\u003e — runs cool and is built for periodic nighttime use rather than continuous daytime lighting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWattage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWavelength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e395 nm (UV-A \/ violet)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUVB output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFixture\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCreatures Dome Lamp Fixture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.9 cm L x 6.1 cm W x 6.7 cm H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer warranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for periodic nighttime viewing of scorpions, invertebrates and nocturnal reptiles kept in a Creatures Dome Lamp Fixture.
