Usage Guidelines:

We highly advise pairing this bulb with a Solarmeter 6.5 to monitor UVB levels for your reptile’s safety.

Install this bulb in a wire lamp fixture to avoid overheating issues.

This bulb is ideal for enclosures with a minimum height of 18". Be sure to understand your reptile’s specific UVB needs and adjust the bulb-to-basking area distance as necessary.

You might need an extra halogen heat source or UVB bulb to achieve the ideal temperature or UVB gradient for your pet. Always keep an eye on the basking spot temperature and adjust the fixture height to prevent overheating. Double-check basking area temperatures to ensure your reptile’s safety!
