Zoo Med Tropical UVB & Heat Lighting Kit - Complete Lighting Solution for Tropical Reptile and Amphibian Terrariums
The Zoo Med Tropical UVB & Heat Lighting Kit provides everything needed to establish proper lighting and heating in a tropical reptile or amphibian terrarium. Designed for small to mid-size enclosures, this kit combines a dual-socket dome fixture with a heat-producing daylight bulb and a UVB compact fluorescent lamp, giving tropical species the full-spectrum light environment they need in a single, convenient package.
Whether you keep tropical lizards, frogs, or other amphibians, this kit delivers UVB, UVA, and visible daylight alongside supplemental heat, supporting natural behavior and daily light cycles within the terrarium.
Each kit is sold as a complete unit, ready to set up in your tropical habitat.

Why Reptile Owners Choose It
Tropical reptile and amphibian keepers choose this kit for its convenience and completeness. Rather than sourcing a dome fixture, a heat bulb, and a UVB lamp separately, this kit provides all three components matched for tropical species requirements. The dual-switch dome allows independent control of heat and UVB, and the compact fluorescent UVB lamp fits smaller enclosures where full-size tubes may not be practical.

Material & Design Breakdown
The Mini Combo Deep Dome features dual ceramic sockets, which handle higher wattages safely and are compatible with both incandescent and compact fluorescent lamps. The true blue glass of the Daylight Blue Bulb is not painted or coated, allowing for better heat transfer compared to coated alternatives, and is manufactured to European quality standards for extended burn life. The ReptiSun 5.0 Mini Compact Fluorescent is sized for smaller terrariums, making it practical for tropical setups where space is limited.
Setup & Compatibility Guidance
Position the Mini Combo Deep Dome over the terrarium screen top, placing the Daylight Blue Bulb in one socket for heat and the ReptiSun 5.0 UVB Mini CFL in the other for UVB output. Use the dual on/off switches to control each lamp independently. This kit is designed for tropical reptile and amphibian species in small terrariums. Each socket supports lamps up to 160 watts.
Care & Maintenance
Monitor bulb output regularly and replace lamps when light output diminishes or per manufacturer recommendations. Keep the dome fixture clean and free of debris. Ensure the fixture is positioned securely on the terrarium to prevent movement.
