Check your fitting before buying

Use a T8 fitting designed for the correct tube size and 15W power rating. Check your existing lamp marking and fitting instructions; matching the approximate length alone does not establish compatibility. 

Choose placement for your reptile and enclosure

UVB supports vitamin D3 synthesis in reptiles. Appropriate exposure depends on the species, distance, fitting and enclosure layout. Zoo Med recommends this range for setups where greater UVB reach is needed and notes that screen covers can reduce UVB by up to 50%.

Follow Zoo Med's UVB guidance and the fitting instructions for positioning. Published reach figures are not a universal safe basking distance or a guarantee of suitable exposure for every reptile. The manufacturer's product page and catalogue give different reach figures, so a single maximum distance is not used here.
