Zoo Med PowerSun UV – 80 Watt

The Zoo Med PowerSun UV – 80 Watt lamp is designed for use in reptile terrariums or bird aviaries to provide UVA, UVB, and heat to create a suitable environment for these animals. Here’s a breakdown of the key features:

Self-Ballasted Mercury Vapor Lamp: This lamp is self-ballasted, which means it doesn’t require an external ballast for operation. This makes it easier to set up and use.

UVA, UVB, and Heat Emission: The lamp emits both UVA and UVB light, which are important for the well-being of reptiles and birds. UVA light supports their natural behaviors and vision, while UVB light is necessary for vitamin D synthesis. The lamp also emits heat, creating a basking spot for the animals.

Fits Standard Ceramic Socket: The lamp is designed to fit into a standard ceramic socket, eliminating the need for a separate ballast. This makes installation convenient.

UVB Projection: The 80 Watt lamp is capable of projecting UVB light up to several feet from the surface of the lamp. This makes it suitable for use in large terrariums or bird aviaries where animals may need to access the UVB rays from a distance.

Ideal for Large Terrariums or Bird Aviaries: Due to its higher wattage and the ability to project UVB over a larger area, the 80 Watt lamp is particularly suitable for larger enclosures like large reptile terrariums or spacious bird aviaries.

Nickel-Plated Threads: The lamp features quality nickel-plated threads that help prevent corrosion over time. This ensures the lamp’s longevity and durability in the potentially humid or damp environment of a terrarium or aviary.

One-Year Warranty: The lamp comes with a full one-year warranty, providing assurance to users that the product is backed by the manufacturer’s support for a specified period.

Keep in mind that when using specialized lamps like the Zoo Med PowerSun UV – 80 Watt, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation, placement, and maintenance. This helps ensure the well-being of the animals and the longevity of the lamp itself.
