A Complete Desert Lighting Solution for Reptile Terrariums
The Zoo Med Desert UVB and Heat Lighting Kit gives reptile keepers everything needed to create a proper desert lighting environment in one convenient package. Designed specifically for desert and basking reptile species, this kit combines UVB output, UVA light, visible light, and focused basking heat into a single, ready-to-use setup.
At the center of the kit is the Mini Combo Deep Dome, a dual-socket lamp fixture with two ceramic sockets rated for lamps up to 100 watts each. Dual on/off switches provide greater convenience for managing heat and UVB independently. Paired with the included Repti Basking Spot Lamp and ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent, this kit delivers the full spectrum of lighting your desert reptile needs to thrive.
The Repti Basking Spot Lamp features a unique double reflector design that focuses 35% more heat and UVA light than regular spot lamps, with a rated lifespan of up to 2,000 hours. The ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent is ideal for small terrarium desert and basking reptiles, providing UVB, UVA, and visible light in a compact form factor. Together, they replicate the intense, full-spectrum lighting conditions desert reptiles depend on.
