A revolutionary new range of high performance T5 reptile lamps from Arcadia. Offering a significant increase in both visible light and UV output compared with T8 lamps of similar length.

A revolutionary new range of high performance T5 reptile lamps from Arcadia. Offering a significant increase in both visible light and UV output compared with T8 lamps of similar length.

After long research we have succeeded and developed a T5 tube with stable UV performance.

• The UV Sun T5 excels with its well balanced UV spectrum which is very close to that of the sun.
• This in particular applies to the wavelengths from 290-305 nm which are important for the Vitamin D3 synthesis but often missing in UV lamps. (...)

The Daylight Sun T5 is a fluorescent tube which was developed as general lighting for terrariums.

• Significant UV radiation is not provided by the tube by intent as other lamps like the Lucky Reptile Bright Sun UV and mercury vapour based UV lamps are better suited to provide UV.
• Instead the Daylight Sun T5 was designed to achieve a high light output and a visible spectrum suitable for all terrarium animals. (...)
