Komodo T8 Fluorescent Lighting Controller for Reptile UVB Tubes – 18 W

The Komodo T8 Fluorescent Lighting Controller is a slimline unit that powers T8 fluorescent tubes in reptile enclosures. Its electronic ballast supplies a continuous, stable current, which avoids the flicker often seen with older magnetic ballasts and keeps light output consistent. A vented cover helps prevent overheating during long use, and it is designed to match Komodo UVB Sun Strip tubes. Choose the controller that matches your tube’s wattage: 15 W or 18 W.

Key features of the Komodo T8 Fluorescent Lighting Controller

• Slimline design
• Electronic ballast
• Flicker-free light
• Vented cover
• Matches Sun Strip tubes

Matching the controller

The wattage printed on your T8 tube decides which controller you need: a 15 W tube is normally the 45 cm (18 in) length and an 18 W tube the 60 cm (24 in) length, so measuring the tube is a quick double check. Plan where the controller will sit outside the enclosure, near a socket and a plug-in timer, so the light runs on a regular day and night cycle. Replace UVB tubes at the interval the tube maker advises.

Good to know

Pick the controller that matches the wattage of your T8 tube, mount it securely away from water and keep the vents clear. Switch off at the mains before changing the tube.
