{"product_id":"exo-terra-reptile-uvb200-t8-tube","title":"Exo Terra Reptile UVB200 T8 Tube","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe top tier of Exo Terra's linear UVB range, built for diurnal desert reptiles with very high UV requirements and for terrariums tall enough that a UVB150 cannot deliver enough UVB down at the basking site. Exo Terra's framing is a very high D3 yield index and enhanced UVB penetration distance. Do not read that as more heat — a fluorescent UVB tube of any grade produces essentially none, so a basking lamp remains part of the setup.\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.

Exo Terra does not publish a UVB output percentage or effective distance for the T8 UVB200, so none is quoted here.
