The PowerSun™ UV is a type of self-ballasted mercury vapor lamp that combines UVA, UVB, and heat emission in a single lamp. It is designed to fit into a standard ceramic socket without the need for an external ballast. The 160-watt version of the lamp can project UVB radiation up to several feet from its surface, making it suitable for use in large terrariums or bird aviaries.

Some notable features of the PowerSun™ UV lamp include quality nickel-plated threads, which help prevent corrosion and ensure a longer lifespan for the lamp. Additionally, it comes with a full one-year warranty, providing assurance of its quality and durability.

When using any type of lamp for reptiles or birds, it’s crucial to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations for proper installation, distance from the animals, and duration of use. Additionally, regular monitoring and replacement of the lamp according to the manufacturer’s guidelines are essential to ensure the continued emission of appropriate levels of UVA, UVB, and heat.
