Reptile Systems D3 UV Basking Lamp Mini 80w – Mercury Vapour Reptile Lamp

The RS D3 UV Basking Lamp Mini 80w is a self-ballasted mercury vapour lamp that delivers UVB, UVA, visible light, and infrared heat from a single bulb. Designed for reptile keepers who want a streamlined, all-in-one basking solution without the complexity of separate UV and heat sources, it is well suited to vivarium setups where space or wiring simplicity matters.

What It Produces

• Simultaneous output of UVB, UVA, visible light, and infrared (heat) energy
• UVI output of 2.7, measured at 30cm without a reflector after 6 months of use
• 35-degree beam angle for a focused but generous basking zone

Why UV Matters

Adequate UVB exposure is essential for reptile health. It drives the synthesis of Vitamin D3, which in turn enables correct calcium metabolism. Without it, reptiles are at serious risk of metabolic bone disease. Consistent UVB exposure also plays a role in stimulating natural reproductive behaviour.

Quality and Consistency

Every RS D3 UV Basking Lamp Mini passes through a triple quality check to verify UVI output before it leaves the production line. The UVI rating is printed on the packaging — a level of transparency that gives keepers confidence in what they are actually buying, not just what is claimed.

Practical Details

• No external ballast required — fits a standard lamp fitting
• Rated average lamp life of 3,000 hours
• 80w output suitable for vivarium basking spot use

For keepers who want reliable, measurable UV and heat from one fitting, the RS D3 UV Basking Lamp Mini 80w removes guesswork and keeps your setup clean and straightforward.
