Reptile Systems New Dawn LED T5 Lamp

The Reptile Systems New Dawn LED T5 Lamp is a high-output plant growth light designed for vivariums where live plants are part of the setup. Available in a range of sizes to suit enclosures of different scale, it delivers a true 6500K colour temperature — the daylight spectrum that drives strong, healthy plant growth in a terrarium environment.

Light Output That Works

At 6500K, this lamp produces light at the wavelengths plants actually use, not just visible white light. High lumen output across the range means your vivarium plants receive the intensity they need, not just a token gesture at illumination. It also raises overall visible light levels in the enclosure, making colours appear more natural and the setup more visually striking.

Designed to Work Alongside UVB

The New Dawn LED is built to complement UVB-emitting lamps rather than replace them. Running it alongside your UVB source gives plants the growth spectrum they need while your reptiles continue to receive the UV they require. This makes it a practical addition to any bioactive or planted vivarium build without requiring you to overhaul your existing lighting setup.

T5 Form Factor

The T5 format means the New Dawn LED fits standard T5 reflector units and controllers, integrating cleanly into existing vivarium lighting rigs. Multiple size options across the range mean there is a lamp to suit compact terrariums through to larger, more ambitious builds — select the appropriate variant for your enclosure using the options on this page.

For keepers investing in live planted vivariums, the New Dawn LED provides a focused, spectrally correct light source that supports plant health without compromise. Choose the size that matches your enclosure length and pair it with your existing UVB setup for a complete vivarium lighting solution.
