The kit comes complete with a T5 UVB Tube that's easy to install and change when needed.

It's this kit's integration with the free and easy-to-use LumenIZE app which takes it to the next level, so after installation be sure to pair it to your mobile device via Bluetooth. With the LumenIZE app you can 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. You can also simulate the changing of the seasons in the app by adjusting seasonal increases and decreases in energy. This creates far more natural conditions that will really benefit your pet, safely leading them into the winter slowdown and spring wake-up periods.

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 the 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.

Multiple lamps can be linked together using LumenIZE Link Cables. These are designed to easily connect up to 10 units from a single power source, which helps you to cut down on energy consumption while providing your pet with a happy life. A typical LumenIZE system is incredibly energy efficient and can reduce energy spend by a whopping 30% when compared to fixed voltage options, thanks to precise dimming via the LumenIZE app.

The programming on LumenIZE enabled Pro T5 Lamps are also protected against power cuts, thanks to a small, exchangeable battery that ensures, when power returns, your lamp goes back to its regular programming. It's worth nothing that if a lamp is unplugged, or unused, the battery will still run and may drain. They're easy to replace though, just use the instructions provided.

Arcadia's Pro T5 Kits are renowned for packing a big punch in a small package. They utilise a sleek design and a specially curved reflector to maximise efficiency and project high levels of UV-rich light. For this Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB Kit, D3+ Dragon, 14% UVB, it's recommended to place the lamp 18-24/45-60cm above the area where your reptile basks. This will create a perfect basking zone, while avoiding the risk of your beloved pet burning itself. It'll also produce 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 Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB Kit, D3+ Dragon, 14% UVB comes with the most powerful UVB bulb on the market, specially designed for those species with the highest UV requirements like Uromastyx, Agamids, African Tortoises, Iguanas and desert Monitors. Any species that are kept using the Sunbeam Method will love the conditions created by this kit!
