Description
For the largest reptile habitats, you want a lamp that covers the whole span and still drives UVB deep. The Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB T8 Fluorescent Lamp in white is a 48-inch lamp, the longest in the 10.0 lineup, built to light big enclosures end to end. Zoo Med says its UVB reaches a full 20 inches, or 51cm, from the lamp surface, so the full 4-foot length pairs wide coverage with deep penetration.
What the 48-inch ReptiSun 10.0 T8 does for a large enclosure:
Zoo Med says this lamp emits UVB a full 20 inches (51cm) from the lamp surface, compared to 12 inches (30cm) on the ReptiSun 5.0.
According to Zoo Med, that deeper reach helps to prevent or reverse metabolic bone disease.
Optimal, per Zoo Med, for larger terrariums where more than 12 inches of UVB penetration is needed.
The full 48-inch length spans big habitats, so coverage stretches across the entire enclosure.
Zoo Med also recommends the 10.0 for use above screen covers, which can filter out up to 50% of UVB wavelengths.
Emits 10% UVB and 30% UVA, as listed by Zoo Med.
High quality bulbs, made in Germany.
Standard white T8 fluorescent format that fits common 4-foot T8 fixtures for a clean setup.
A single long lamp for wide builds, so you light a large tank without lining up multiple short bulbs.
Designed for the everyday demands of big, deep reptile habitats.
If you are running one of the largest setups in the room, the 48-inch ReptiSun 10.0 T8 is made to reach both across and down, covering a wide enclosure while pushing UVB toward a basking spot that sits well below the lid. Mount it in a matching 4-foot T8 fixture, place it over your screen cover if you use one, and let Zoo Med’s deeper-penetrating output handle the heavy lifting. It is a dependable, full-length way to keep your reptile under strong UVB, with bulbs made in Germany. Big tank, full coverage, serious reach.
