FAQ

How often should I replace the UVB bulb?

Is this bulb safe for all reptile species?

Yes, the bulb emits no UVC radiation and provides a balanced UVB/UVA spectrum suitable for desert‑dwelling turtles, lizards, snakes, and iguanas.

Can I use this bulb with a standard 12V reptile fixture?

Absolutely. The bulb is designed for common 5.5″ and 6.5″ fixtures and works with standard 12V power supplies used in most terrarium setups.

What is the recommended distance between the bulb and the reptile?

Place the bulb 12‑18 inches above the basking spot to provide adequate UV exposure without causing overheating.

Does the bulb affect the terrarium temperature?

The bulb primarily provides UV light; any heat generated is minimal. Use a separate heat source if temperature regulation is needed.
