The Arcadia Pro T5 UVB Kit – 12% Desert UVB lamp is a HO (high output) fluorescent lamp with luminaire and built-in ballast and reflector, with an essential ratio between daylight (7000 Kelvin) and ultraviolet radiation invisible to the human eye. The UV radiation present needs reptiles and amphibians to stay healthy. The amount of UV radiation depends on the type of animal and their natural habitat. Since fluorescent lamps hardly emit heat, it is necessary to combine this lamp with a heat lamp or heat spot, in order to create a solar place.
The UVA light provides a natural-looking environment, recognition of other animals and food. The UVB rays present ensure a absorption of vitamin D3 in the body (via synthesis of the skin). D3 ensures that calcium is absorbed during digestion. By not exposing the animals to UVB radiation, a shortage of essential nutrients can occur and can lead to diseases, deformities or premature death due to housing errors.
The luminaire (Arcadia Pro T5 UVB Kit – 12% Desert UVB lamp) is easy to install by using the supplied mounting bracket in the terrarium or by placing the luminaire on the grid of the terrarium or paludarium. The luminaire can be used plug-and-play and has a size of 870x60x45 mm.
This Arcadia Pro T5 UVB Kit is an affordable replica of the Arcadia Slimline Luminaire T5. The difference is in the material use, where the Arcadia Pro T5 UVB Kit consists mainly of plastic.
