All of this ensures that compact lamps for reptiles and birds are the very finest available. Compact lamps use HO-T5 technology to create full-spectrum + UV-B light. They have an internal flicker free ballast and can be used in any E26 or E27 high quality lamp holder. Compact lamps can be very useful if reflected properly and sited so that the flat of the glass is pointing downwards. This creates a usable sunbathing area for small or hatchling species. High quality compacts can be very useful for small and young animals when kept in reduced sized enclosures as they grow. The Arcadia Reptile D3 7% UV-B Compact lamp has been fully re-designed for 2021, making a great lamp even better. This easy to use self-ballasted lamp projects a high volume of visible light, is flicker free, has a high CRI and boasts 7% UV-B and 30% UV-A. We have fully updated the electronics, improved the glass to be sure of stable UV projection and protection, and we have updated the phosphor mix to use the very latest in German technology. The Arcadia Reptile D3 compact lamp will provide 12 months of UV potency.
