This nicely shaped lamp was developed specifically for high-output T5 tubes and has a robust metal body with internal reflector.
Since today UV tubes are playing a small roll in most vivariums and T5 tubes are primarily used as daylight lighting, it is not necessary to place the lamp inside the terrarium.
You can simply place the Light Strip T5 on top of the terrarium and have it light through the glass or mesh top.
Fixtures on the backside also enable an installation to a wall or a ceiling.
The Light Strip are excellent for use with the Lucky Reptile Daylight Sun T5 and UV Sun T5 fluorescent tubes.
Tubes not included.
ATTENTION! When using the UV Sun T5 the front glass has to be removed, in order not to filter out the UV.
The Daylight Sun T5 is a fluorescent tube which was developed as general lighting for terrariums.
Significant UV radiation is not provided by the tube by intent as other lamps like the Lucky Reptile Bright Sun UV and mercury vapour based UV lamps are better suited to provide UV.
Instead the Daylight Sun T5 was designed to achieve a high light output and a visible spectrum suitable for all terrarium animals. (...)
