High quality, affordable UV lighting in a simple to use light unit.

  • Provides UVA and UVB lighting

Reptile Systems lamps have been designed to replicate the profile of sunlight as closely as possible, to produce a full spectrum lamp with balanced amounts of UVA and UVB, whilst producing excellent natural colours. We recognised the need for good quality UV lighting, for reptiles to convert this to D3, through a series of chemical events. This process is self-regulating and is essential for reptiles to absorb calcium from their diet, eliminating the risk of metabolic bone disease.

The Eco T5 Unit comes with a free fixing kit, link cable, straight connectors and mains power lead, offering exceptional value for money whilst delivering excellent results.
