{Description}
The Arcadia D3 UV Self Ballasted Mercury Vapour Basking Lamp 80w 100w or 160w
The D3 UV Basking lamp is a high performance lamp providing UVB, UVA visible light and heat from a single lamp
Designed as a basking lamp for larger vivaria in which the reptile has sufficient room to move into and out of the basking area to regulate its temperature
{Advantages}
The advantages of the Arcadia D3 UV Basking Lamp
The Arcadia D3 basking lamp is an ideal all in one lamp for providing heat, light and UV, every technology however has limitations
Arcadia reptile are passionate about providing the very best of systems to captive reptiles and believe that their customers should be given the full picture of how lamps work, it is for this reason that they always encourage the use of a linear UV lamp, this would in most cases still be required to open up the usable photogradient available to the animal
As we all know reptiles have to be given the ability to self regulate their exposure between heat, light and UV and cool and shade, the D3 cycle is dependent on this
If the footprint of a lamp is limited as spot source lamps are, then the usable emission zone is in turn limited. Arcadia would always suggest that in vivariums over 24 in length that a high output T5 lamp is used alongside these UV rich basking spot lights. This then opens up the graduated power zones and allows the animals to decide when and where to bask and assimilate the power that it required at that moment

The New D3 80 Watt
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
Arcadia Reptile is delighted to include a world exclusive Mini M.V lamp into our range of SBMVL. these much smaller R95 lamps emit a safe natural amount of UVB and a balanced UVA similar to wild exposure at lower fitting heights and also produce a good stable amount of heat
These lamps are particularly suited to being fitted inside wooden vivaria and over mesh topped Terraria. These setups have historically suffered with heat rising to dangerous levels very quickly, and due to the limitations of height inside a vivarium, many of these lamps have been fitted too close to the animals
The 80 watt Arcadia Mini D3 UVB basking lamp is a more energy efficient, high output, mercury vapour lamp that can used inside vivariums and over mesh topped, glass terrariums
This lamp will enable many more reptile and Amphibian keepers to create a good UV rich photogradient within the enclosure. With a target height of 20-30cms from lamp to animal this is the one stop mini solution to your animals basking needs.
