ProRep UV Tube Guard 660mm / 26" HCG205 for Vivariums

The PR UV Tube Guard HCG205 is a 660mm (26") mesh guard designed to sit between your reptile and its UV tube, preventing direct contact with a fragile lamp while keeping UVB transmission as high as possible. It's an essential addition to any wooden vivarium housing species that could reach or brush against an unprotected fluorescent tube.

Mesh Design and UVB Transmission

The guard uses a wide-gauge mesh with a reflective finish, a deliberate choice to minimise UVB loss as light passes through. Keeping your reptile protected shouldn't mean compromising the effectiveness of your UV setup, and the mesh specification here reflects that priority.

Hinged Access Panel

A hinged panel with double security fasteners runs along the guard, giving you direct access to the lamp for tube changes and routine maintenance without having to remove the entire fixture from the vivarium roof. This makes lamp replacement straightforward and reduces handling time around your animals.

Mounting and Fitment

• Four mounting brackets included for secure fixing to the vivarium roof
• Three cable entry cut-outs to accommodate both single and double-cable fluorescent units
• Designed for flush mounting directly to the ceiling of wooden vivariums
• Dimensions for the 66cm unit: 13.5cm wide, 68.5cm long, 7cm tall

For keepers running UV tubes in enclosed wooden vivariums, the PR UV Tube Guard HCG205 removes the risk of lamp damage and animal burns while keeping your lighting setup fully functional and easy to maintain.
