Lighting System Breakdown
The ReptiSun T5 LED UVB Hood integrates four distinct lighting elements into one compact fixture. The 6500K daylight LEDs deliver high-output white light that closely mimics natural sunlight, enhancing color rendering for both the reptile and the terrarium environment. The ReptiSun 5.0 T5 HO UVB lamp provides the ultraviolet output reptiles need for vitamin D3 production. The 620nm RED LEDs target the wavelength most effective for photosynthesis, supporting live plants in bioactive or planted terrarium setups. The 465nm BLUE LEDs create a soft, natural moonlight effect for nighttime viewing without disrupting the reptile's day-night cycle.
Setup and Compatibility Guidance
The 14-inch hood is designed to sit on top of standard terrarium screen lids in smaller enclosure sizes. The ReptiSun 5.0 T5 HO UVB lamp is included and ready for use. Replace the UVB lamp every 12 months to maintain effective UVB output. The LEDs have a 20,000-hour life range and do not require frequent replacement.
Care and Maintenance
Wipe the exterior of the hood with a dry cloth as needed. Replace the included ReptiSun 5.0 T5 HO UVB lamp every 12 months. Allow the fixture to cool before handling or cleaning. Inspect the power cord regularly for wear.
