Zoo Med ReptiSun T8 Terrarium Hood - Black, 48 in

Zoo Med ReptiSun T8 Terrarium Hood - Black, 48 in

The Zoo Med ReptiSun T8 Terrarium Hood is a low-profile lighting solution 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 integrates seamlessly with standard terrarium setups, making it a practical choice for reptile keepers who prioritize consistent 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 48-inch size is ideal for larger enclosures where broad, even light coverage is essential for reptile health and plant growth.

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