Zoo Med ReptiSun T8 Terrarium Hood - Black, 36 in

Zoo Med ReptiSun T8 Terrarium Hood - Black, 36 in

The Zoo Med ReptiSun T8 Terrarium Hood is a low-profile lighting fixture engineered to deliver efficient, deep-penetrating visible light and UVB directly into your terrarium. Designed to hold one T8 size linear fluorescent lamp, this hood fits neatly on standard terrarium setups, making it a reliable choice for reptile keepers who need consistent, effective lighting performance.

Featuring a built-in reflector, the ReptiSun T8 Hood maximizes light output by directing illumination downward into the habitat rather than dispersing it outward. The 36-inch size is well-suited for mid-to-large terrarium enclosures where even light coverage supports reptile health and plant vitality. An energy-efficient, flicker-free electronic ballast ensures stable, quiet operation throughout the day.

A convenient on/off switch provides easy daily control, and the hood's low-profile design keeps your setup clean and streamlined. Sold individually.
