FAQs

How long does the bulb last?

The lifespan of the bulb varies, but it is recommended to replace it every 6-12 months, or sooner if the light output diminishes.

Can this bulb be used with a dimmer?

No, this bulb is not designed to be used with a dimmer.

What wattage should I use?

The appropriate wattage depends on your terrarium size and reptile's needs. Start with a lower wattage and monitor the temperature, increasing the wattage as needed.

Is this bulb safe for all reptiles?

This bulb is suitable for many reptile species, but it's important to research the specific lighting and heating requirements for your pet. Always monitor the temperature and your reptile's behavior.

How do I clean the bulb?

Turn off and unplug the lamp, and allow the bulb to cool completely. Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe the bulb gently.

Can I use this bulb for nocturnal reptiles?

While the UVA light can benefit nocturnal reptiles, it is best to use this bulb during the day and supplement with a night heat lamp or low-wattage bulb for nighttime heat if necessary.

What is the benefit of the Neodymium sleeve?

The Neodymium sleeve enhances the light output and provides a more natural light spectrum, benefiting the reptile's vision and overall well-being.

Troubleshooting

Reptile is not basking.

Adjust the lamp's position closer to the basking area. Check if the bulb is functioning correctly. Consider using a higher wattage bulb if the ambient temperature is too low.

Terrarium is overheating.

Increase the distance between the lamp and the basking spot. Use a thermostat to regulate the temperature. Reduce the wattage of the bulb if necessary.

Bulb burns out quickly.

Ensure proper voltage compatibility. Avoid touching the bulb with bare hands when installing it, as oil can shorten its lifespan. Check the fixture for any issues that may cause overheating.
