{"product_id":"exoterra-t5-uvb-fixture","title":"Exo Terra T5 UVB Fixture","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Exo Terra T5 UVB Fixture is a high-performance lighting canopy designed specifically for reptile and amphibian terrariums. Available in four sizes to suit enclosures of different scale, it delivers serious UVB output with the kind of build quality that serious keepers expect. Whether you're running a compact desert setup or a large tropical vivarium, there's a size in this range to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for T5 VHO Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fixture is built around the Exo Terra T5 VHO bulb format, though it accepts any T5 linear fluorescent tube of the appropriate wattage and length. The high-quality electronic ballast eliminates flicker entirely, which benefits both the animal and the keeper — it also extends the working lifespan of the bulb itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReflector Output\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe highly polished internal reflector increases lamp output by 2.5 times compared to running the bulb without one. This means more usable UVB and visible light reaches the animals below, without any change to the bulb itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSafety and Electrical Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fixture comes with a grounded plug as standard and includes built-in protection against over-voltage, over-current, over-heating, and end-of-lamp-life (EOL) conditions. These aren't optional extras — they're integrated into every unit in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlexible Placement and Linking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach fixture can be placed directly on top of terrarium mesh or mounted inside the enclosure using the appropriate mounting bracket (sold separately). Up to 10 fixtures can be linked together using optional grounded interconnection cables, available in 30cm or 60cm lengths, also sold separately. This allows all linked units to be controlled from a single timer, keeping cable management clean in multi-enclosure setups. For extra-long enclosures, fixtures can also be mounted side by side using a purpose-made mounting bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUVB and Heat — Use Together\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUVB alone is not sufficient for most species. Exo Terra recommend combining this fixture with a dedicated infrared-A (NIR) basking source, such as a halogen or intense basking spot bulb, to provide the full spectrum of light and heat that reptiles need for thermoregulation and vitamin D3 synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the size that matches your enclosure footprint from the variants listed — getting the right output for your setup is straightforward, and the fixture's compatibility with standard T5 tubes gives you flexibility if you need to switch bulbs down the line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"8W 35cm","offer_id":54176582598993,"sku":"LHR161","price":33.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"24W 60cm","offer_id":54176582631761,"sku":"LHR162","price":44.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"39W 90cm","offer_id":54176582664529,"sku":"LHR163","price":49.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"47w 120cm","offer_id":54176582697297,"sku":"LHR164","price":55.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/exoterra-t5-uvb-fixture","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
