UVB Bulb ReptiKing Reptile Lighting 24W Compact

Description

Product Overview

ReptiKing presents a premium UVB spiral bulb designed for desert‑dwelling reptiles. Available in 13W and 24W options with UVB output levels of 10.0 and 5.0, the bulb fits standard E26 bases and measures 6.5 x 2.68 x 2.64 inches, weighing only 0.63 ounces. Constructed with a compact quartz envelope, it delivers consistent UVB radiation that encourages natural basking behavior, stimulates appetite, and aids calcium metabolism for strong bone development. The bulb is ETL certified, ensuring safety and performance, and offers up to 7,000 hours of lighting life while consuming only a fraction of the energy of traditional fixtures.

Usage

This UVB bulb is ideal for terrariums housing desert species such as bearded dragons, leopard geckos, and uromastyx. Install the bulb in a standard E26 socket above a basking platform or combine it with a ceramic heater for a balanced heat‑light environment. The 24W version provides intense UVB for larger enclosures, while the 13W model suits smaller habitats. Regular replacement every 6‑12 months maintains optimal UVB output as the bulb ages.

FAQ

How often should I replace the UVB bulb?

Even though the bulb lasts up to 7,000 hours, UVB output declines after about 6‑12 months. Replace it annually to ensure your reptile receives adequate UVB.

Can I use this bulb with a regular incandescent fixture?

Yes, the bulb uses a standard E26 base and can be installed in any compatible fixture, but ensure the fixture allows proper heat dissipation.

Is the 10.0 UVB level safe for all reptiles?

The 10.0 UVB rating is ideal for desert species that require higher UVB exposure. For tropical or low‑UVB species, consider the 5.0 version to avoid overexposure.

Does the bulb generate heat?

It produces minimal heat compared to dedicated heat lamps, so it should be used alongside a separate heat source for temperature regulation.

What warranty does ReptiKing offer?

ReptiKing provides a one‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. Contact customer service for replacement or refund options.
