Reptile Systems New Dawn LED T5

The Reptile Systems New Dawn LED T5 is a dedicated plant growth lamp designed for vivariums and terrariums where live plants are part of the setup. Available in a range of sizes to suit enclosures of different scales, it delivers a true 6500K colour temperature — the daylight spectrum that drives healthy, sustained plant growth alongside your existing UVB lighting.

Light Output and Spectrum

Running at 6500K Kelvin, the New Dawn LED produces high light levels at the wavelengths that matter most for photosynthesis. This is not a general-purpose white lamp — it is built specifically to give live vivarium plants what they need to thrive. Lumen output exceeds 1700lm on the 10w variant, with larger options in the range delivering proportionally greater output for bigger enclosures.

Designed to Work Alongside UVB

The New Dawn LED is intended to complement, not replace, your UVB source. Pairing it with a UVB-emitting lamp gives you the visible light intensity plants require while your reptiles still receive the UV they depend on. This makes it particularly well suited to bioactive setups where both animal and plant health are priorities.

T5 Format Across the Range

All variants use the T5 lamp format, making them straightforward to integrate into T5 compatible lighting rigs and controllers. The range spans multiple lengths and wattages, so whether you are lighting a compact planted vivarium or a large-scale bioactive build, there is a size matched to your enclosure.

Choose your variant from the options above to match the length and output to your specific setup. For bioactive keepers who take their planted vivariums seriously, the New Dawn LED is a focused, no-compromise solution.
