Reptile Systems Zone 3 T5 300mm (12") 8w UVB Reptile Lamp

The RS Zone 3 T5 300mm (12") 8w is a compact UVB fluorescent tube designed for reptile vivariums where UVB provision is essential. Producing 12% UVB and 30% UVA, it supports the synthesis of vitamin D3 and delivers the kind of full-spectrum output that keeps reptiles in genuine health. At 300mm it suits smaller enclosures or complementary lighting setups where a full-length tube isn't practical.

UVB and UVA Output

• 12% UVB output for effective vitamin D3 synthesis
• 30% UVA for natural behaviour stimulation and overall wellbeing
• Extra high output rating for a tube of this size

Natural Colour Rendering

This tube produces excellent natural colours, making it easier to observe your animals accurately and ensuring the vivarium environment looks as it should. Good colour rendering also helps reptiles perceive their surroundings naturally.

Compatibility and Installation

The RS Zone 3 T5 300mm 8w requires a T5 electronic ballast to operate — it will not function with older magnetic gear. For best results, pair it with a dedicated T5 luminaire or electronic controller. Like all UVB lamps, it should be replaced after 12 months of normal use to maintain effective UV output, even if the tube still appears to produce visible light.

A straightforward, reliable UVB tube for keepers who need compact T5 coverage without compromising on UV provision.
