High-Output UVB, UVA, and Heat for Larger Reptile Habitats
The Zoo Med PowerSun H.I.D. Metal Halide UVB Lamp is engineered for larger reptile habitats that demand high-output UVB performance. Combining UVB, UVA, and heat from a single lamp, it delivers a truly sun-like lighting experience with a 6500K color temperature and a 95 CRI for exceptional, naturalistic color rendering inside the terrarium.
Zoo Med's proprietary lamp construction creates a true flood-lamp effect, which eliminates the dangerous UV hot-spots that are common with many other metal halide reptile lamps. Complete instructions are enclosed. Sold individually, one lamp per package.
Backed by a full one-year guarantee from Zoo Med.

The 6500K color temperature and 95 CRI also make the habitat look strikingly natural, which benefits both the animals and the overall display quality of the enclosure.

Material and Design Breakdown
The PowerSun H.I.D. uses metal halide lamp technology to produce high-output UVB alongside UVA and heat. Zoo Med's proprietary construction creates a flood-lamp light distribution pattern, spreading UV output evenly across the habitat rather than concentrating it in a single point. This design approach directly addresses a known safety concern with many competing metal halide reptile lamps. The 95 CRI rating means colors inside the enclosure appear vivid and accurate under this light source.
