3-in-1 Reptile UVA+UVB Basking Lamp 5.0/10.0 Full Spectrum E27
3-in-1 Reptile UVA+UVB Basking Lamp – Full Spectrum Heating for Turtles, Lizards & More
Give your reptile the natural sunlight experience they need to thrive — right inside their terrarium. This 3-in-1 full-spectrum UVA+UVB basking lamp combines essential UV rays and warming heat in a single compact E27 bulb, simulating the natural solar environment your pet depends on for healthy behavior, thermoregulation, and calcium absorption support.
Made in Mainland China.
Why Your Reptile Needs UVA + UVB Light
Reptiles are naturally adapted to bask under the sun's full spectrum of light. UVA rays encourage natural activity patterns and stimulate appetite, while UVB rays are essential for enabling your reptile's body to synthesize vitamin D3 — a key nutrient for strong bones and overall wellness. Without adequate UV exposure, captive reptiles can develop serious nutritional deficiencies. This lamp delivers both wavelengths simultaneously alongside gentle basking heat, making it a complete 3-in-1 solution.
For more on reptile lighting and UV requirements, visit the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for research on vitamin D synthesis and animal health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the UVB 5.0 and UVB 10.0 reptile lamp?
A: The UVB 5.0 lamp is designed for reptiles that live in tropical rainforest or subtropical environments — such as certain turtles, tree frogs, and rainforest lizards — where natural UV levels are moderate. The UVB 10.0 lamp emits a higher UV output, making it ideal for desert-dwelling reptiles like bearded dragons and uromastyx that experience intense sunlight in their natural habitat. Choose the strength that matches your pet's natural environment.
Q: What lamp fixture does this UVA+UVB bulb fit?
A: This basking lamp uses a standard E27 screw base, which fits the vast majority of common clamp lamp fixtures, dome lamps, and terrarium hoods available at pet stores. Always ensure the fixture is rated for the bulb's wattage and voltage (220–240V, 3W).
Q: How long should I leave the reptile UVB lamp on each day?
A: For best results and to extend the bulb's lifespan, we recommend running the lamp for 1–2 hours per day. Leaving it on for extended periods is not recommended and may shorten the bulb's effective UV output life. You can use a terrarium temperature controller or timer to automate the on/off cycle easily.
Q: Is this lamp safe for turtles and tortoises in an aquatic setup?
A: Yes — this lamp is well suited for turtle and tortoise enclosures. Position it above the dry basking area of the tank. Ensure the lamp is mounted securely and kept away from water splashes. Always keep the bulb out of reach of your animals to prevent contact burns.
