Component Breakdown
Mini Deep Dome Fixture: The ceramic socket supports lamps up to 100 watts, providing flexibility for future lamp upgrades. The polished aluminum interior reflects light and heat downward into the enclosure, improving efficiency. The deep dome design is a key safety and performance feature - it extends beyond the face of the lamp, keeping the bulb fully recessed and reducing the risk of direct contact while also directing output more precisely into the habitat.
ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent: The ReptiSun 5.0 is formulated for tropical species that require moderate UVB exposure. It emits UVB for vitamin D3 synthesis support, UVA to promote natural behavior, and visible light to illuminate the enclosure - all from a single compact lamp sized for small terrariums.
Setup and Compatibility Guidance
This combo is designed for small terrariums housing tropical reptiles and amphibians. The Mini Deep Dome fixture is compatible with the included ReptiSun 5.0 Mini CFL lamp and can also accommodate other lamps up to 100 watts. Position the dome above a mesh screen top for optimal UVB penetration into the enclosure. The compact size makes it well-suited for tabletop terrariums and smaller habitat configurations.
