Reptile Systems New Dawn LED Horizontal E27 Bulb

The Reptile Systems New Dawn LED is a daylight-spectrum bulb designed for vivariums and terrariums where strong, plant-supporting light is a priority. Built around a true 6500K colour temperature, it delivers the cool, natural daylight tone that drives plant photosynthesis and keeps enclosure colours looking crisp and accurate. Available in two output options to suit setups of different scale, the New Dawn fits standard E27 lamp holders and is designed for horizontal mounting.

Daylight Quality That Works

6500K sits firmly in the daylight spectrum — the range that plant life responds to most effectively and that renders your enclosure's colours faithfully. With a Colour Rendering Index greater than 80, foliage, substrate, and animals all appear as they should under this light, with no colour distortion or muddiness.

Designed for Plant Growth

The New Dawn produces high lumen output at the wavelengths that matter for photosynthesis. Whether you're maintaining a bioactive vivarium or keeping live plants as part of a naturalistic setup, this lamp provides the intensity needed for healthy plant growth alongside your existing UVB source.

Specifications

• Beam Angle: 120 degrees
• Fitting: E27 (Edison screw)
• Mounting: Horizontal position
• Available in multiple wattage options to suit different enclosure sizes

Pairing With UVB

The New Dawn is not a UVB source — it works alongside UVB-emitting lamps rather than replacing them. Used in combination, it raises visible light levels in the enclosure significantly, creating a brighter, more naturalistic environment without compromising your UV provision.

Choose the output level that suits your enclosure size — both variants share the same 6500K spectrum and E27 fitting, so the decision comes down to the light intensity your setup requires.
