The Ultrasun lamps are designed for tropical or desert reptiles and turtles. They provide a balanced UVB emission for the growth of solid structures such as scales, claws, and shells. Additionally, they help prevent metabolic degeneration of the bones. The UVB rays contained in Ultrasun support your reptiles in the photosynthesis of provitamin D3, leading to optimal calcium absorption through the production of vitamin D3. The UVA rays promote physiological well-being by reducing the animals' stress. The Ultrasun can be mounted on top of the mesh. Installation is straightforward, as the lamp is powered by its own ballast and screws into a standard E27 ceramic socket without the need for a separate ballast.
