Reptizoo UV Lamp 125W (P125125) is a self-ballasted mercury-vapor reptile heat/UV lamp that emits both UVA and UVB radiation. It’s designed to support reptiles that need UVB/UVA lighting along with a basking heat source in one bulb, typically mounted in a safe, well-ventilated fixture with an appropriate ceramic/porcelain holder.
Features:
- Emits UVA and UVB radiation for reptile use.
- Self-ballasted mercury vapour bulb, intended to provide “natural sunlight” benefits in one unit.
- UVB’s effective penetration distance is described as 30–60 cm (12–24 in), helping you plan basking proximity.
- Includes important safety guidance: use only with a well-ventilated ceramic/porcelain bulb holder intended for high-temperature bulbs.
- Mounting guidance: mount vertically (not angled) so the bulb points straight down.
- Warm-up time: allow about 5–10 minutes for the bulb to reach full intensity.
- Restart/thermal reset guidance: after turning off, allow about 15 minutes to cool down before restarting.
