Pawfly UVB Light for Reptiles | 3W 5.0 UVB Bulb with UVA UVB for Vitamin D3 Synthesis

Overview

Meet Pawfly's UVB Light for Reptiles, a compact 3W lamp designed for steady day-and-night care. Built with an efficient LED array and a durable aluminum housing, it delivers reliable performance for up to 20,000 hours while sipping just 3 watts. This combination translates to consistent lighting without excessive energy use, helping you maintain a stable basking environment for your terrarium inhabitants.

Bright, natural visuals

With a CRI > 90 and a 6000K daylight spectrum, the lamp renders true-to-life colors, so you can observe subtle shifts in your reptile’s skin tone, eye clarity, and posture that signal well-being. The vivid display also makes plant life and hides in the enclosure more legible, improving overall terrarium viewing and enjoyment.

Balanced bio-sunlight for reptile health

This unit emits a precise UVA/UVB mix, with harmful UVC filtered out. The UVB component enables vitamin D3 synthesis, which is associated with calcium processing in the body, while UVA can help promote appetite, digestion, and natural activity cycles. The result is a closer-to-nature basking experience that supports routine behaviors.

Wide compatibility and easy setup

Designed for tropical forest-dwelling species, including turtles, lizards, and red-footed tortoises, this lamp complements a reptile heat lamp for a complete basking zone. It uses a standard E26 base, so it screws into most common fixtures and hoods without adapters, making setup quick and straightforward.
