FAQs

How often should I replace the UVB lamp?

How do I clean the reflector?

Remove the reflector and wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.

Can I use multiple units together?

Yes, the kit includes a link cable that allows you to connect up to 10 units to a single power source.

Where should I position the fixture in the enclosure?

Position the fixture according to the UVB requirements of your reptile species. Provide a basking spot with adequate UVB exposure, and ensure the entire enclosure has some level of UVB coverage.

What wattage lamp is included?

What is the purpose of the reflector?
