Light for reptiles The American company Zoo Med has unveiled its new mini-size compact fluorescent lamp that provides UVB, UVA and visible light. The new “Reptisun 5.0” and “Reptisun 10” lamps can be used with the following fixtures: “Mini Deep Dome Lamp” fixtures (LF-18, LF-19), and “Naturalistic Terrarium Hoods” (LF-50, LF-55). They also help to prevent or reverse metabolic bone disease commonly seen in captive reptiles at 6 to 12 months of age. Another new line from Zoo Med is the range of “T5 High Output Reptisun 5.0” and “Reptisun 10” UVB lamps, made in Germany. According to the company, the lamps have a stronger UVB and brighter light that is twice as strong as standard “T8 Reptisun” lamps. The increased UVB output is very good for larger reptile habitats and the lamps help to prevent or reverse metabolic bone disease. www.zoomed.com New LED lights from Hagen Rolf C.
