In the wild basking species rely on the sun to deliver a combination of warmth visible light and invisible ultraviolet radiation. This advanced mercury vapour lamp combines all these essential elements into a single powerful fixture eliminating the need for separate heat and ultraviolet installations over your main basking zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy providing a concentrated beam of heat alongside critical ultraviolet spectrums this bulb plays a vital role in supporting the biological functions of diurnal reptiles. The projection of ultraviolet B radiation allows animals to synthesize vitamin D3 efficiently which is necessary for absorbing calcium from their diet and preventing metabolic bone disease. At the same time ultraviolet A radiation stimulates natural behaviors increases appetite and enhances their overall well being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable For\n\u003cbr\u003eDesert reptiles such as Bearded Dragons, Uromastyx, and Horned Lizards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVarious species of tortoises including Mediterranean, Horsfield, Leopard, and African Spurred tortoises\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTropical basking lizards such as Green Iguanas, Chameleons, and larger Agamids\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSemi aquatic turtles requiring intense overhead heat and radiation on their basking docks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLarge wooden vivariums and open top enclosures that need a dedicated high output thermal zone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow To Use\n\u003cbr\u003eInstall the bulb by screwing it firmly into a heavy duty ceramic E27 screw fitting or a deep reflector dome capable of handling high wattages. Because mercury vapour bulbs generate intense heat and require stable electrical currents they must never be connected to a thermostat or electronic dimmer switch as this will cause the lamp to fail. Position the fixture directly over your designated basking site ensuring it stands completely vertical. Maintain a safe minimum distance of at least twenty centimeters between the bulb surface and your pet to protect them from thermal burns. Allow the lamp to run continuously during daylight hours. If the power is interrupted remember that mercury vapour technology requires a cooling period of approximately fifteen minutes before it can safely restart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trusty Pets","offers":[{"title":"125W","offer_id":54555837923662,"sku":"K\/L\/SUB125","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"80W","offer_id":54555837792590,"sku":"K\/L\/SUB80","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/New-Project-34.png?v=1754467047","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/komodo-solar-d3-uv-basking-bulb-80-125w","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
