The ReptiSun T8 10.0 emits 10% UVB and 30% UVA, and carries usable UVB roughly 50cm from the tube — about 20cm further than the 5.0 version. That extra reach is what makes it Zoo Med's recommendation for mounting above a screen cover. In a small or shallow enclosure the same output becomes a problem, because the animal cannot get far enough away from it.
Features
- 10% UVB, 30% UVA — for species with higher UVB requirements.
- Roughly 50cm of usable reach — designed to work through a screen top.
- Four lengths — 45cm, 60cm, 90cm and 120cm in standard T8 bi-pin.
- Made in Germany.
Mounting
A screen cover filters up to half the UVB reaching the animal. Glass and acrylic block it entirely. Set your basking height with the screen loss allowed for, and confirm it with a UV Index meter if you have one.
For lower output in the same format, see the ReptiSun T8 5.0. More in Reptile Heating & Lighting.
