Exo Terra Natural Light – 26 Watt

The Exo Terra Natural Light is a full spectrum daylight bulb designed for terrariums housing reptiles, amphibians, and plants. This light source offers several key features:

Spectrum and Color Temperature: The Exo Terra Natural Light has a color temperature of 6700 K, which closely mimics natural daylight. This spectrum is ideal for providing appropriate lighting conditions for various reptiles, amphibians, and plants.

Visual Light Output: This bulb has a high visual light output, ensuring that the terrarium is well-illuminated. This is important for creating a visually appealing environment for both the terrarium inhabitants and the observers.

Color Rendering Index (CRI): With a high CRI of 98, this bulb is capable of rendering colors accurately and vividly. This is important for creating a natural and visually pleasing environment for the animals and plants within the terrarium.

Suitability for Different Species: The high light output and color temperature make this bulb suitable for a range of terrarium types. It’s particularly useful for planted terrariums and for animals with lower UV requirements, such as snakes, frogs, toads, salamanders, and nocturnal animals.

Stimulation of Behavior: The UVA radiation emitted by the Exo Terra Natural Light can stimulate various behaviors in reptiles and amphibians, including appetite, activity, and reproductive behaviors. This contributes to the overall well-being and natural behaviors of the terrarium inhabitants.

Plant Growth: The spectrum and light output of this bulb also stimulate plant growth within the terrarium. If you have live plants in your setup, this bulb can provide the necessary light for photosynthesis and healthy growth.

Combination with UVB Lighting: For reptiles with UVB requirements, the Exo Terra Natural Light can be combined with Exo Terra’s Reptile UVB100, Reptile UVB150, or Reptile UVB200 bulbs, depending on the specific needs of the reptiles. UVB lighting is crucial for animals that require UVB exposure to synthesize vitamin D3, which is essential for calcium metabolism.

It’s important to note that proper lighting is a crucial aspect of creating a suitable and healthy environment for reptiles, amphibians, and plants in a terrarium. Different species have varying lighting requirements, so it’s recommended to research the specific needs of your terrarium inhabitants and consult with experts if needed to ensure their well-being.
