Exo Terra Reptile UVB 200 Compact 26w PT2341 Desert Vivarium Lamp

The ET Reptile UVB 200 Compact 26w (PT2341) is a high-output compact UVB lamp built specifically for desert-dwelling reptiles and other species with very high UV requirements. If you're keeping animals that would naturally bask under intense, unfiltered sunlight — bearded dragons, uromastyx, tortoises, or similar diurnal species — this is the lamp designed to meet those demands in a vivarium setting.

High UV Output for High-Demand Species

Desert environments expose reptiles to some of the strongest UV radiation found anywhere on earth. This lamp is engineered to replicate those conditions, producing a UVB spectrum calibrated for species that need significant UV exposure to thrive. It is not a general-purpose UVB lamp — it is built for keepers who understand that their animals have elevated UV requirements and need a bulb that can meet them.

Vitamin D3 Synthesis and Calcium Absorption

• Very high D3 Yield Index drives increased Vitamin D3 photosynthesis
• Supports calcium absorption, which is essential for bone density and muscle function
• Helps prevent metabolic bone disease, one of the most common and serious conditions in captive reptiles

Enhanced UVB Penetration

The UVB output from this lamp is capable of penetrating further than standard compact UVB bulbs, making it a practical choice for taller terrariums or enclosures with denser mesh screens that would otherwise reduce UVB transmission. Keepers running deeper vivarium setups will see a meaningful difference in usable UV reach at basking distance.

Pairing for Full-Spectrum Lighting

This lamp is focused on UVB delivery rather than broad-spectrum visual light output. For the most complete lighting environment, it can be combined with a suitable natural-spectrum or reptile vision bulb to provide both the UV your animal needs and the visual light quality that supports natural behaviour and colour rendering.

For keepers who take UV provision seriously — particularly those housing desert species in taller enclosures — the ET Reptile UVB 200 Compact 26w gives you confidence that your animals are receiving the UV levels their biology genuinely requires.
