Producing 2.4% UVB and 30% UVA, it supports natural vitamin D3 synthesis without overexposing animals that have evolved in shaded or lightly dappled conditions. Available in four sizes to suit vivaria of different scales, from compact desktop terrariums to larger species enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFerguson Zone 1 — Who This Lamp Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFerguson Zones are a scientifically recognised framework for categorising a species' natural UV exposure based on their behaviour and habitat. Zone 1 covers crepuscular or shade-dwelling species — animals that rarely bask directly in sunlight. Matching your lighting to the correct zone is one of the most important steps in replicating a biologically appropriate environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUVB and UVA Output\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.4% UVB — supports vitamin D3 synthesis at levels appropriate for low-UV species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30% UVA — promotes natural behaviour, activity, and appetite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra high output T5 format delivers consistent UV across the enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces excellent, natural colour rendering for both the animals and any live planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility and Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lamp requires a T5 electronic ballast to operate — it will not function with older magnetic ballast fittings. For best results, use it with a dedicated T5 luminaire or an appropriate electronic controller. As with all UVB lamps, UV output degrades over time even when the lamp still produces visible light; Reptile Systems recommend replacement after one year of normal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the Right Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Zone 1 T5 range is available in four sizes, making it straightforward to select a lamp that spans the majority of your enclosure's length for even UV distribution. Select your preferred size from the variant options above to suit your specific setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor keepers who take species-appropriate husbandry seriously, matching the correct Ferguson Zone lamp to their animal's natural UV index is a straightforward way to improve long-term welfare. The Reptile Systems Zone 1 T5 range makes that easy across a variety of enclosure sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"300mm 8w","offer_id":54176602325329,"sku":"LRD021","price":20.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"550mm 24w","offer_id":54176602358097,"sku":"LRD022","price":19.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"850mm 39w","offer_id":54176602390865,"sku":"LRD023","price":21.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1150mm 54w","offer_id":54176602423633,"sku":"LRD025","price":23.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/reptile-systems-t5-uvb-lamp-ferguson-zone-1-24","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
