It brings together everything needed to run high-output metal halide lighting straight out of the box — no hunting for compatible components. Developed specifically for reptile keeping, it delivers intense light and meaningful UVB output in a way that closely mimics the spectral quality of natural sunlight in arid environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a true all-in-one set. The kit contains a 35W desert-spectrum metal halide lamp, an electronic ballast and starter unit, and a high-temperature-rated ceramic lamp holder. Every component is matched to work together, so there's no guesswork around compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLight and UVB Output\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetal halide technology produces very high levels of visible light alongside strong UVB — a combination that fluorescent and LED alternatives rarely match in intensity or spectral breadth. The desert spectrum is tuned for species from high-UV, high-light environments: think North African, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian species that bask under intense open skies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImportant: Thermostat Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike mercury vapour lamps, metal halide lamps cannot be run through a thermostat. Heat management must be handled through correct wattage selection, appropriate installation height, and enclosure ventilation. Keepers should assess their enclosure size and ambient temperature carefully before choosing the 35W output — this is not a lamp to install without planning the thermal environment first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play setup — ballast, starter, ceramic holder, and lamp supplied as a matched set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic ballast included; no separate controller required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic holder is rated for the high operating temperatures metal halide lamps produce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot compatible with thermostats — installation height and enclosure ventilation are the primary means of temperature control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor desert-species keepers who want genuine solar-intensity lighting in the vivarium, the Bright Sun Evo SET Desert 35W provides a properly engineered, species-appropriate solution with no component compatibility concerns to navigate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54148056580433,"sku":"LLB480","price":89.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/LLB480_1.jpg?v=1782597954","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/lr-bright-sun-evo-set-desert-35w-bss-d35","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
