The D3 basking lamp is an ideal all-in-one lamp for providing heat, light and UV, every technology however has limitations. At Arcadia reptile we are passionate about providing the very best of systems to our captive reptiles and believe that our customers should be given the full picture of how lamps work, it is for this reason that we always encourage the use of a linear UV lamp for effective UV provision.
We would suggest that in vivs over 24” in length, a high output T5 lamp is used alongside these UV-rich basking spots. This then allows the animal to decide when and where to bask at a particular time.
Many species of reptile and Amphibian require a warm spot under which they can bask and become fully energised with heat and Ultra Violet.
As in nature, these basking zones should be UV rich and stable. We therefore produce this lamp in three sizes. 80 watt, 100watt and 160watt. The 80 Watt ‘Mini Mercury Vapour’ is a useful option for smaller vivaria. UVB and a balanced UVA similar to wild exposure at lower fitting heights and also produce a good amount of heat.

All came in good time well packaged all se t up and working well...
Easy to put together, simple instructions, sturdy and aesthetically pleasing.
Great little kit, everything was well packaged and simple to put together. My only issue is the the bulb holder didn't come with any screws. A little inconvenient if you don't have any screws laying around but I did luckily.
