Leoterra Reptile UVB Light Bulb 26W 10.0, High Intensity UVB Light for Bearded Dragon, Veiled Chameleons & Adult Red-Eared Sliders in Large Terrarium, Powerful UVA UVB for Reptile - size: 26w 10.0

About this item

• 【Wide Coverage for 24-36" Habitats】 This 26W high output UVB reptile lighting is engineered for larger enclosures. Unlike weaker bulbs, its powerful spiral design effectively covers 60-90cm (24-36 inch) terrariums, ensuring your Bearded Dragon or Double-Crested Basilisk receives adequate UV gradients even at the tank's edges. Ideal desert reptile UV lighting for active, high-energy species.
• 【Penetrates Screens for Chameleons】 While standard bulbs struggle with mesh, this chameleon UVB 10.0 light packs the punch needed to penetrate dense screen cages. It compensates for the ~50% light blockage from mesh, delivering safe, filtered UV levels inside for Veiled Chameleons and Panther Chameleons. Note: Always mount above the screen, not inside
• 【Bone Health for Adult Turtles】 Adult Red-Eared Sliders and Adult Eastern Box Turtles have thick shells requiring intense radiation. This calcium absorption UVB reptile light ensures maximum vitamin D3 synthesis bulb efficiency to prevent soft shells. Its water-resistant design (do not submerge) makes it suitable for humid setups involving Chinese Water Dragons.
• 【Safety First: Distance Control】 To prevent photo-keratitis (eye irritation), strict distance control is vital. Mount this high-intensity UVB bulb 15-20cm (6-8 inches) away from the basking spot. This allows the UV to dissipate to safe levels while still providing the heat and light needed for thermoregulation. Avoid direct eye contact for hatchlings
• 【E26 Fit & 8-Month Cycle】 Features a standard E26 screw base (fits most clamp lamps, not T8 fixtures). Like all high-performance UVB sources, the UV output degrades over time. For the health of your iguana basking UVB bulb setup, we recommend a strict 8 months replacement schedule to maintain optimal UVB levels
• 【Integrated System Compatibility】: These UVB bulbs produce minimal heat. For a complete environment, they must be paired with Ceramic Heat Lamps or Basking Lamps. Use a timer to maintain a 10-12 hour natural photoperiod.
• 【Safe & Reinforced Packaging】: Engineered with 360° recyclable protective materials to ensure these fragile CFL bulbs arrive intact, preventing the common buyer concern of receiving broken glass.
