Applications
Mount over a screen-topped terrarium to create a bright, UVB-rich basking zone with shaded retreats. Pair with your heat lamp to complete a healthy daytime gradient. Run 10–12 hours daily to support a consistent day–night cycle. Avoid placing behind glass or acrylic, which blocks most UVB. Replace according to manufacturer guidance or when UVB output declines.
