UVB Transmitting Quartz Glass: The lamp uses special UVB transmitting quartz glass to maximize UVB penetration, ensuring that your reptile gets the required UVB exposure for its health.

Compact Design: This compact fluorescent lamp is designed to fit into standard threaded sockets, eliminating the need for a separate ballast. It can be used in a variety of reptile hoods or clamp lamp fixtures.

Orientation: You can orient the lamp either vertically or horizontally, allowing flexibility in setting up your reptile’s lighting environment.
