Description
- Weight: 160 watt
Give your reptile real-sun benefits indoors with the Zoo Med PowerSun UVB lamp. Deliver UVB, UVA, bright daylight, and basking heat from a single 160-watt bulb so your pet can synthesize vitamin D3, absorb calcium, and stay active without juggling multiple fixtures.
Key Features
- All-in-one output: Combine UVB, UVA, heat, and visible light for a natural basking zone.
- 160-watt performance: Build a wide, warm hotspot for larger habitats and sun-loving species.
- Self-ballasted design: Screw directly into a ceramic socket—no external ballast needed.
- Long-reach UVB: Support healthy behavior across tall or spacious enclosures.
- Corrosion-resistant base: Rely on nickel-plated threads that stand up to humid terrariums.
- Daylight spectrum: Encourage natural activity, appetite, and brighter coloration.
Applications
Set up a strong basking area for bearded dragons, uromastyx, monitors, and tortoises in large terrariums or indoor pens. Position the lamp to create a warm hotspot with a cooler retreat so your reptile can self-regulate. Always use a ceramic socket rated for 160 watts and verify temperatures with a reliable thermometer.
