Zoo Med Mini Desert UVB Lighting Combo

The Zoo Med Mini Desert UVB Lighting Combo pairs a Mini Deep Dome Lamp Fixture with a 13 - Watt Reptisun 10.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent Lamp. This combo is a top - choice for desert and basking reptiles. It's crafted for maximum UVB consumption. The fixture, made of polished aluminum, maximizes light and heat output. Its extra - long reflector dome keeps the lamp from sticking out. The ceramic socket can handle lamps up to 100 watts. The ReptiSun 10.0 UVB bulb is great for desert reptiles, providing high - level UVB penetration to prevent or reverse bone disease. The cool - burning compact fluorescent bulb fits standard threaded sockets, so there's no need for a separate ballast.

Using the Zoo Med Mini Desert UVB Lighting Combo is easy. First, find a suitable place in your reptile's habitat to install the Mini Deep Dome Lamp Fixture. Make sure it's stable and won't fall. Then, screw the 13 - Watt Reptisun 10.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent Lamp into the ceramic socket. Remember, the socket can handle lamps up to 100 watts, but it's best to use the recommended 13 - watt bulb for proper UVB output. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the fixture for any signs of damage. Clean the reflector dome with a soft, dry cloth to keep it reflective and increase light output. Also, keep an eye on the UVB bulb. Replace it every 6 - 12 months as the UVB output decreases over time. As for safety, always turn off the power before installing or removing the bulb. Don't touch the bulb when it's hot to avoid burns.
