Product details
Dr Tim's Mercury Vapor Basking Lamp 125W (219031) is a mercury vapor basking lamp designed to provide multiple types of illumination from a single bulb—UVA, UVB, visible light, and infrared (heat). It’s used in reptile and amphibian enclosures to create a focused basking zone where animals can warm up and receive UV exposure that supports normal Vitamin D3-related processes.
Features:
- Delivers UVA and UVB along with visible light and infrared heat in one lamp
- Helps provide UVB lighting to support Vitamin D3 synthesis and help prevent metabolic bone disease when used appropriately
- 35-degree beam angle helps concentrate light and heat into a wider basking area
- Operates without an external ballast, simplifying setup
- Long average life of 6,000 hours for continued daily use
- Includes a 6-month manufacturer’s guarantee
