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 colors. We recognized 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 most modern and enlightened way to work out the UV requirements for your reptile is by using the Ferguson zones. These zones are divided up into UV requirements and natural basking characteristics for chosen species. Locate your animal on the chart, or one that closely resembles its behavior, and this will show you the zone you need.

This information can be easily found on our packaging to help you make the correct choice for you and your animal. Our charts give you correct distance values for your basking sites, enabling you to achieve a suitable photo gradient within your enclosure. Mount your lamp 30cm or more, from your basking sites – recommended for ocular health – plus we also list minimum safe distances due to the potency of our lamps and their use.
