Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent (Pack of 2)

Overview

The Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent is a compact lighting option designed for tropical reptiles and amphibians. This 2-pack provides flexibility for single or multiple enclosures, helping you tailor the basking area and light cycle to your terrarium setup. A key feature is the special UVB-transmitting quartz glass, crafted to maximize UVB exposure where it’s most needed. The bulbs deliver a measured 5% UVB output along with 30% UVA output to support natural daylight cues and ambient illumination in small habitats.

Key benefits

• Designed for all tropical reptiles and amphibians, making it a versatile choice for diverse terrariums.
• 5% UVB output and 30% UVA output to create a balanced light spectrum within compact enclosures.
• UVB-transmitting quartz glass enhances UVB penetration for effective basking zones.
• Can be oriented vertically or horizontally to fit your terrarium’s design and basking spot.
• Pack of 2 provides value and flexibility for multiple enclosures or staggered use.

In-terrarium use

These mini bulbs are well-suited for shallow or small-to-medium terrariums where space is at a premium. Place the fixture near the basking area to align with your heat source and the reptiles’ natural activity rhythms. The dual-bulb pack lets you maintain consistent lighting across separate habitats or rotate bulbs to extend their life between replacements.

Setup tips

• Mount the lights so the UVB ray path crosses the basking zone without shining directly into eyes.
• Experiment with vertical or horizontal placement to match your enclosure’s shape and furnishings.
• Monitor the distance between the bulb and the reptile’s basking surface to achieve the desired exposure.
• Plan for a bulb replacement schedule based on usage to sustain consistent light quality.
