Reptile Systems New Dawn LED 10w T5 Lamp 550mm – Plant Growth LED

The RS New Dawn LED 10w T5 Lamp 550mm is a dedicated plant growth lamp designed for vivariums and terrariums where live plants are part of the setup. Running at a true 6500K colour temperature, it delivers the cool daylight spectrum that drives healthy photosynthesis, making it a straightforward choice for keepers who want thriving plant growth without compromise.

Light Output and Spectrum

At 6500K, this lamp sits squarely in the daylight range that plants respond to most effectively. It produces over 1700 lumens, delivering high light levels at the wavelengths most useful for plant growth rather than just generating visible brightness.

Pairing with UVB Lighting

The RS New Dawn is built to work alongside UVB-emitting lamps rather than replace them. Used in combination, it raises overall visible light levels in the vivarium while your UVB source continues to handle the reptile's specific photoregulation and vitamin D3 synthesis requirements.

Format and Fitting

• T5 tube format, 550mm in length
• 10 watts power draw
• Designed to fit standard T5 compatible fixtures

For any vivarium keeper running live plants alongside reptiles, the RS New Dawn LED 10w T5 provides a targeted, high-output light source that supports the plant layer without interfering with your broader lighting and UVB setup.
