{"product_id":"exo-terra-reptile-uvb200-compact-bulb","title":"Exo Terra Reptile UVB200 Compact Bulb","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe top tier of Exo Terra's compact UVB range, aimed at species with very high UV requirements — diurnal desert reptiles — and at terrariums tall enough that a UVB100 or UVB150 cannot reach the basking site. Exo Terra's own framing is enhanced UVB penetration distance and a very high D3 yield index. It is a lamp, not a heater: a fluorescent UVB bulb of this type contributes essentially no basking heat, so budget for a separate heat source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo wattages, 13W and 25W, self-ballasted screw base.

Exo Terra does not publish a UVB output percentage or an effective distance for the compact UVB200, so we have not quoted one — the range is positioned by tier (UVB100 tropical, UVB150 desert, UVB200 very high UV).
