The sun ensures perfect living conditions in the natural habitat of our reptiles. Cold-blooded animals not only need the warmth to raise their body temperature, but also often very bright visible light and the important UVB radiation.

Modern UVB metal halide lamps have been developed to meet exactly these 3 requirements:

  1.     UVB radiation to ensure vital vitamin D3 production
  2.     Bright, visible light (up to over 100,000 lux) to increase the well-being of our animals
  3.     Radiant heat like the sun to raise the body temperature and - also - to produce vitamin D3


These UVB MH or HQI lamps are ideally suited to ensure the health and well-being of our terrarium animals. Vitamin D3 is produced by UVB radiation in the top layers of the skin. Strictly speaking, this creates preliminary products that are then converted into vitamin D3 through heat. The plasma calcium level rises and bones can grow or egg shells can be...
