Komodo UVB Sun Strip T8 Fluorescent Tube 5.0 – 18 W, 60 cm

The Komodo UVB Sun Strip 5.0 is a T8 fluorescent tube with a 5% UVB output, made for forest and shade-dwelling reptile species that need moderate UVB. The UVB helps reptiles produce vitamin D3 so they can use the calcium in their diet, and the tube spreads bright light evenly along the enclosure. It comes in 10 W, 15 W (45 cm) and 18 W (60 cm) and runs from a T8 controller of the same wattage.

Key features of the Komodo UVB Sun Strip T8 Fluorescent Tube 5.0

• For forest and shade species
• Supports vitamin D3
• Even, linear coverage
• T8 tube

Good to know

Run the tube from a T8 controller of the same wattage, mount it inside the enclosure with no glass or plastic in between, as these block UVB, and use a 10 to 12 hour day cycle. Replace it as the pack advises, since UVB fades before the visible light does.
