Quick Product Snapshot

Lighting System Breakdown

The ReptiSun T5 LED UVB Hood integrates four distinct lighting elements into one 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.
