GREENPAW T5 UVB Light Fixture 12-Inch | 10.0 UVB, 30% UVA for Reptiles

Natural-looking reptile lighting that fits your terrarium

The GREENPAW T5 UVB Light for Reptiles is designed to work with reptile terrariums and vivariums. It emits a balanced 10.0 UVB output and about 30% UVA, a spectrum that mirrors outdoor daylight conditions. This combination can help support natural metabolic processes in reptiles and may encourage comfortable basking and daytime activity. While experiences vary by species and habitat, many keepers include this spectrum as part of a holistic lighting plan.

In practice, you might notice desert species like bearded dragons showing steadier basking behavior and steadier daytime rhythm when the light covers a wide area of the enclosure. The UVA portion can subtly influence appetite and vitality, contributing to a more natural daily routine during feeding or seasonal shifts. Use this light as one element of a broader habitat strategy rather than a single solution.
