The PAR38 form factor keeps things compact, making this a practical choice for keepers working with smaller enclosures or younger animals that benefit from a less intense output than larger mercury vapour lamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompact Build, Serious Output\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite its modest dimensions — just 3 inches wide and 4.5 inches long — this bulb delivers the same quality UVA and UVB emission that the Mega Ray range is built on.

For most reptiles, an optimal working distance of 9 to 12 inches is recommended. Species with lower UVB requirements — including amphibians — should be kept at even greater distances to avoid overexposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecies Suitability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell-suited to juvenile turtles, tortoises, and lizards requiring combined heat and UV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctions as a UVA and UVB source for birds (avian setups)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable as a UVA-UVB lamp for snakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppropriate for smaller vivarium or terrarium setups where a lower heat output is beneficial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its E27 fitting and PAR38 profile, the Mega Ray 100w integrates cleanly into standard lamp holders and gives keepers a reliable, all-in-one lighting solution they can trust across a range of species and enclosure types.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"100W","offer_id":54148085973329,"sku":"LRM100","price":52.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"160W","offer_id":54148086006097,"sku":"LRM160","price":49.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"275W","offer_id":54148086038865,"sku":"LRM275","price":57.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/LRM100_1.jpg?v=1782598673","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/mega-ray-100w-mercury-vapour-e27-par38","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
