Reptile Uv Light Not Working

Vivarium electronics t5 ho light fixture with reflector for 34 t5 ho bulbs such as the arcadia t5 ho uvb bulbs.

Reptile uv light not working. They do have a uv flood light next to the dhp so the basking heat from the dhp is coupled with strong 12 uv light from this source for a. In response to this i bought another light ballast. I guess if placed high enough to use for over all heating and not a hot spot basking area it might work. But let s get a huge fact in here.

Specialized lights made for reptiles supply them with the proper amount of uv ultraviolet light that they cannot get from a standard light bulb. Well yes they are. Now includes the jumper wire to connect up to 8 fixtures. 6400k 2730 lm bulb mounting clips and roll on off switch built into power cord included.

You can squeeze the bottle gently to release water into the reservoir and allow the float to float. Put the old bulb back in and it worked. The light before worked fine just needed a desert reptile bulb. Wondering if it was just something funny i tried another tank with a working light put this bulb in and nothing.

If that does not work take the top off the reservoir and tap the float with your finger to be sure that it isn t stuck. Btw is this mainly for reptiles lizards snakes etc or recommended for tortoises too. A few decades of captive breeding is not going to undo millions of year of evolution. Bought this and put it in the fixture and nothing.

4 hours later the light suddenly turned off. Initially my bearded dragon s light bulbs stopped working after a few months. Uv a is stimulative activity and appetite among other possible behaviors as ball pythons and many other snakes see in the uv light spectrum. 1 refill makes 32 oz.

They take the exposure they have and thrive using such. Well you have not yet stated why reptile lights are shitty you just said t5 s are better but they are also more expensive plus that does not have anything to do with using uvb to increase trichnome production. For my boas i use ge plant aquarium fluorescent bulbs 10 total uv but not designed as an uv b though it provides a very small and or a 2 0 fluorescent either exoterra or zoomed as the day time. The reptile lights put off a certain percent of uv rays and the rest of the light is exactly like other fluorescents.

These reptiles have evolved over millions and millions of years to utilise the uv they are exposed too. Put the old bulb back in and lights up just fine. Of working solution 4 6 out of 5 stars 79. If your blue light will not come on be sure that there is water in the fogger.

This was a waste of money. I got another light bulb but the light would not work in the ballast. That hasn t changed in all that time. I put the lightbulb into the new ballast and it worked.

Reptiles use the light to help keep their bones strong and to regulate their metabolism.
