Available in a wide range of sizes, all of which fit into any of our standard fluorescent fixtures. Ideal for applications when ultra-violet illumination is desired without heat as a by-product. Due to it’s 10% UVB rating, this bulb is especially suited for desert species, animals recovering from metabolic bone disease, egg-producing females and in taller enclosures (appreciable UV rays over 20 inches from bulb surface).
