Description
Product Overview
The Arcadia T5 UVB reptile light kit is engineered for serious reptile keepers who demand precise, high‑output UVB illumination. Centered around a 34‑inch T5 UVB bulb delivering 14% UVB and 30% UVA, the system replicates natural sunlight, supporting calcium metabolism and vibrant coloration. A removable curved reflector concentrates the light onto the basking zone, while the lightweight 1.65‑pound fixture integrates seamlessly into wooden vivariums or mesh enclosures. Operating at 39 watts, the unit balances powerful output with energy efficiency, and its linkable design allows connection of up to ten fixtures from a single power source.
Usage
Designed for desert‑adapted species such as bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and corn snakes, this lighting solution fits both small desktop terrariums and larger habitat setups. Install the fixture on the top of a wooden enclosure or mount it above a mesh cage using the included brackets. The removable reflector makes cleaning and bulb replacement straightforward, ensuring consistent UVB exposure throughout the animal’s active period. Ideal for hobbyists, breeders, and educational facilities seeking reliable, spectrum‑accurate lighting.
