{"product_id":"exo-terra-reptile-uvb100-t8-tube","title":"Exo Terra Reptile UVB100 T8 Tube","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe tropical tier of Exo Terra's linear UVB range. Exo Terra describes its output as similar to the UVB of shaded environments such as rain forest, which is the level tropical and sub-tropical species evolved under. This is the tube to reach for with crested geckos, day geckos, tree frogs and most rainforest species. The point that causes returns: a UVB fluorescent tube produces UVB and light, not heat. It will not warm a basking spot, so a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/exo-terra-intense-basking-spot-lamp\"\u003ebasking lamp\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/exo-terra-ceramic-heat-emitter\"\u003eceramic heat emitter\u003c\/a\u003e is still required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive sizes, and wattage and length go together: 15W is 45cm, 18W is 60cm, 25W is 75cm, 30W is 90cm and 36W is 120cm. Measure the inside of your existing fixture before ordering — a T8 tube only fits the length it was made for.
