The UVB model in the TerraSky line, and the one to choose if your animal needs ultraviolet rather than just light. Light, UVA and UVB are adjusted separately in 10% increments, so you can dial the UV to the species instead of accepting whatever a fixed tube puts out. Fifty-one bright white 6500K LEDs at 92 CRI handle visible light and plant growth. It is not a heat lamp — a basking species still needs a separate heat source over the warm end.
Do not confuse it with the TerraSky Planted Terrarium LED, which is the plant and display fixture with RGB effects and no UVB. This one is the UV version. Timer presets of 8, 12 and 14 hours with sunrise and sunset ramps, three memory buttons, and a biofluorescence mode for nocturnal viewing. Extendable brackets fit terrariums 38-60cm wide. Fluorescent alternatives are the UVB100, UVB200 and UVB300 T5 VHO bulbs in a T5 fixture. More in our Exo Terra collection.
Features
- Separately adjustable light, UVA and UVB — in 10% increments, so the same fixture suits a shade dweller or an open basker.
- 51 white 6500K LEDs at 92 CRI — high colour rendering, so the terrarium and its plants look natural.
- Timer presets and sunrise/sunset — 8, 12 or 14 hour photoperiods that ramp rather than snap on.
- Biofluorescence mode — a dedicated nocturnal setting that makes fluorescent species and objects glow.
- 20,000 hour life — Exo Terra rates it at 4+ years, against the yearly replacement a UVB fluorescent needs.
- IP54 and 120 degree dispersion — handles misting and spreads light evenly across the terrarium.
