Exo Terra UV Repti Glo Compact Fluorescent bulbs

The advantage of this bulb is its size and the fact that it is self-ballasted. The spiral shape of the bulb enables vertical or horizontal mounting without compromising performance. A regular screw fitting is sufficient to operate these bulbs. (Click here to see the Herp Shop's popular ceramic screw fitting)

It is recommended to combine a high UVB output (Repti Glo 5.0 and 10.0) with a very high visual light output (Repti Glo 2.0) for optimal results. Fluorescent bulbs do not provide sufficient heat. A separate heat source is required in addition (Click here for heating options available through the Herp Shop)

• The Exo Terra Repti Glo 2.0 is a general light source with a high visual light output and a very high colour rendering index (CRI of 98 - 6700 K), but a lower UVB radiation.
• This bulb is suitable for snakes, all frogs and nocturnal animals.
• Plants will thrive under this light as well.
• It is also a perfect complementary light to a UVB bulb to boost visual light.

• The Exo Terra Repti Glo 5.0 has a moderate to high UVB output, similar to that of shady environments such as rain forests and other tropical locations.
• Provides necessary UVB rays for optimal calcium metabolism
• Reptiles living in these habitats receive less UV radiation because of the many climatological conditions (fairly high humidity, changes in weather, etc) that prevent direct sunlight from reaching them or their basking sites.
• Effective up to 30 cm
• Recommended in combination with Repti Glo 2.0 for a higher visual light output

• The Exo Terra Repti Glo 10.0 has a very high UVB output similar to that associated with desert environments.
• Ideal for animals that regularly bask in direct sun
• Provides necessary UVB rays for optimal calcium metabolism
• effective up to 50 cm
• Recommended in combination with Repti Glo 2.0 for a higher visual light output

Tired of frequently replacing those various brands of infra reds ??? We have tried and tested these for over 4 months and are happy that we now have a proven quality product. (See below for details.)

Herp Shop price is $8.50 per globe

Due to the poor quality of our own, and other brands, of red infra-red bulbs we undertook to correct this embarrassing situation and produce a quality product. Working with knowledgeable electricians in Australia, who took this on as a challenge, we feel that the problem has been rectified and a more generous life is expected from our modified product. The occasional bulb may ‘die early’ but all in all a vast difference will be noticed.

Six of the new globes were put on test from 1st Nov 2004 and to this date 8th Feb 2005 we have produced the following results. They were also connected to a timer (to simulate a thermostat) and were switched on or off every 15 minutes over this period.
