Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 Mini UVB Lamp – 13W for Desert Reptiles (E26 Socket)

Overview

The Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 Mini Compact Fluorescent Bulb (FS-C10M) is a compact 13-watt UVB lamp designed for desert reptiles and basking species that benefit from UVB exposure during daily activity. It uses UVB-transmitting quartz glass to maximize UVB penetration and is compatible with standard E26 sockets. The design supports flexible placement, allowing vertical or horizontal orientation in fixtures such as the Mini Deep Dome Lamp or Naturalistic Terrarium Hoods.
