This Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB Kit, D3+ Desert, 12% UVB is quick and easy to install and comes complete with a T5 UVB Tube to speed up the entire set-up process. To install the kit, either screw it onto the canopy of your enclosure, rest it on a wire mesh covering your enclosure, or suspend it over the top of your enclosure.
Take this kit to the next level by pairing it with the free and easy-to-use LumenIZE app via Bluetooth. This revolutionary app allows you to control up to 50 different lamps easily and precisely, simulating natural sunlight and creating dawn-until-dusk lighting patterns that your treasured reptile will love. The app also allows you to include seasonal increases and decreases in energy, which is great for simulating a natural and, most importantly, safe lead into the winter slowdown and spring wake-up.
Why should I buy this kit?
The LumenIZE version of the globally trusted Pro T5 has been redesigned with updated electronics, updated reflector angles, and increased water resistance that protects it from splashes and makes it the perfect choice for all types of biomes. It's their sleekest and most effective design yet, offering smooth dimming patterns that, in combination with the LumenIZE app, puts you in control of the sun and provides your pet with a real sense of the seasons, all at the easy click of a button.
This kit can be used on its own, or it can be linked to others using specially designed LumenIZE Link Cables. These can easily connect up to 10 units from a single power source, cutting down on your energy consumption while providing your pet with a happy life. LumenIZE technology is so energy efficient that, when compared with fixed voltage options, it can reduce energy consumption by a massive 30%, thanks to precise dimming.
LumenIZE enabled Pro T5 Lamps also store your programming within each unit and back this up with a small, exchangeable battery. This protects your programming against power cuts - when power returns your lamp will go back to it's regular programming. Its worth noting that if a lamp is unplugged, or unused, the battery will still run and may drain. That said, they're easily replaced using the instructions provided.
Arcadia's Pro T5 Kits are known for being small and mighty, and this one is no different. It utilises a sleek design and a specially curved reflector to maximise efficiency and project high levels of UV-rich light. This light is projected directly beneath the unit at around 12/30cm to create a basking zone, as well as a wide flood of light that spreads out and allows you to create a suitable UVB provision for any species over a large area.
What is UVB light and why do reptiles need it?
The UV light spectrum is split into three parts. UVB light is light with a wavelength from 260-320nm. This kind of light has a bad rep with humans and is often associated with premature aging, but it's essential for reptiles which need it to synthesise vitamin D3 - an essential vitamin that helps in the absorption of calcium and, in turn, protects against conditions like MBD, or Metabolic Bone Disease.
Different types of reptiles require different amounts of UVB light. This LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB Kit, D3+ Desert, 12% UVB from Arcadia simulates a desert-like environment, where foliage and cloud cover are limited and your reptile would bask in the full heat and UV-rich light of the sun. This is perfect for species like bearded dragons, which require more UVB light than some other species.
