Reptile Systems New Dawn LED 9W E27 Plant Growth Bulb – Horizontal

The RS New Dawn LED 9W is a 6500K plant growth bulb designed for vivariums and terrariums where live plants need strong, targeted light to thrive. Fitting the standard E27 screw cap and built for horizontal mounting, it delivers high lumen output at wavelengths that genuinely drive photosynthesis — not just visible brightness for its own sake.

Light Output & Colour

• 9W power draw
• Lumen output: over 1125lm
• Colour temperature: 6500 Kelvin — a crisp, daylight-spectrum white
• Colour Rendering Index: over 80, meaning colours appear accurate and natural

Beam & Fitting

• 120-degree beam angle for broad, even coverage across the vivarium floor and canopy
• E27 screw fitting — compatible with a wide range of vivarium luminaires and lamp holders
• Designed for horizontal positioning — orient correctly to get the intended spread

Alongside UVB Lighting

The RS New Dawn is intended to boost visible light levels within the enclosure, complementing rather than replacing UVB-emitting lamps. For planted bioactive set-ups where reptiles also require UV exposure, running this alongside a dedicated UVB source gives plants the intensity they need without compromising the animal's lighting requirements.

A straightforward, high-output option for keepers building or maintaining planted vivariums — the specs are honest, the fitting is standard, and the daylight colour temperature supports both plant health and a naturalistic appearance inside the enclosure.
