Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent - 13w

Zoo Med ReptiSun® 5.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent – 13 W

Provide your tropical reptiles and amphibians with the essential UVB they need to stay healthy with the Zoo Med ReptiSun® 5.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent Lamp. Designed specifically for tropical and forest-dwelling species, this 13-watt full-spectrum bulb delivers 5% UVB and 30% UVA to support natural vitamin D3 production, proper calcium absorption, healthy bone development, and normal daily behaviours.

The compact fluorescent design fits standard screw-in (E26) sockets, eliminating the need for a separate ballast. It can be installed either vertically or horizontally in compatible fixtures and operates with minimal heat, making it ideal for smaller terrariums and tropical habitats where supplemental UVB is required without significantly increasing enclosure temperatures. Zoo Med's special UVB-transmitting quartz glass maximizes UVB penetration for effective performance.
