Give your desert reptile the UVB they depend on with the Zoo Med ReptiSun T5 HO 10.0 UVB lamp. Support strong bones and healthy calcium use so your bearded dragon or uromastyx stays active and confident. Brighten the enclosure with crisp daylight that encourages natural basking and appetite—without adding excess heat. Choose the compact 12-inch, 15-watt tube for focused coverage in small to mid-size habitats or to expand a larger lighting setup.
Key Features
- High UVB output: Promote vitamin D3 synthesis and long-term bone health.

- Bright visible light: Encourage natural behavior and better feeding response.
- Slim 12-inch form: Fit tight canopies and smaller lids without crowding the habitat.
- Efficient 15-watt draw: Get strong performance while keeping energy use low.
- Safe lighting: Provide UVB without heat; pair with a basking bulb for temperatures.

Applications
Set up over screen-topped terrariums or mount inside a canopy with a proper guard. Create a clear basking zone and a shaded retreat so your reptile can self-regulate. Aim the lamp across the basking area and use a reflector to maximize UVB reach.
