Product Review

The Exo Terra Solar-Glo Sun 160 watt Simulating Terrarium Lamp is the solution to one of the most important aspects of keeping reptiles and amphibians, providing the benefits of natural sunlight. The proper balance of ultraviolet light (including UVA and UVB), visual light and infrared light (heat) in one easy-to-install bulb, makes the Exo Terra Solar-Glo Sun Simulating Terrarium Lamp the choice of professional breeders. The Solar-Glo is a full spectrum light with carefully tuned peaks to ensure appetite, activity, brilliant colors, and calcium absorption through Vitamin D3 production, and above all to prevent metabolic bone disease.


Note: Rheostats (or power dimmers), thermostats, or adjustable-power lamps CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be used with the bulb. If a bulb is removed or turned off for maintenance, it still needs to cool before it will turn on again.  This is related to movement of the fixture (which needs to remain static in order to function properly).  For example, if the bulb is resting on a sliding screen terrarium top, and the enclosure is opened, the bulb is jostled and might turn off for the aforementioned 10-20 mins for safety/longevity reasons.
