Reptile Systems Zone 2 T5 300mm (12") 8w UVB Reptile Lamp

The RS Zone 2 T5 300mm (12") 8w is a compact UVB fluorescent tube designed for smaller vivariums and terrariums where consistent UV output and natural colour rendering matter. Delivering 6% UVB and 30% UVA, it supports vitamin D3 synthesis and promotes natural behaviour in UV-dependent reptiles. It operates exclusively with T5 electronic ballast equipment — use with a compatible T5 luminaire or electronic controller for correct and safe operation.

UV Output

• 6% UVB output supports vitamin D3 synthesis in reptiles
• 30% UVA replicates the natural light spectrum reptiles experience in the wild
• Extra high output rating for a tube of this size

Colour and Visual Quality

As well as its UV credentials, this lamp produces excellent natural colours within the vivarium — making it a practical choice for keepers who want accurate visual conditions for both animal welfare and observation.

Compatibility and Replacement

This tube will only function when used with equipment containing an appropriate T5 electronic ballast. For best results, pair it with a dedicated T5 luminaire or electronic controller. As with all UV lamps, replace after one year of normal use to maintain effective UV output, even if the lamp remains visibly lit.

A straightforward, reliable UV tube for keepers who need a compact 300mm T5 option without compromising on UVB performance or light quality.
