Compact UV Sun "UV Lamp"

The Compact UV Sun has a similar balanced light and UV spectrumas the Lucky Reptile UV Sun T5 tubes. With this spectrumthe perfect compromise between sufficient UV radiation andnatural light in the visible range has been achieved. Contraryto tubes that are made for illuminating large areas, theCompact UV Sun is designed to create smaller UV and lightbasking sites.A prerequisite for optimal performance is a good reflector. Areflector can increase the radiation that reaches the animalby 200% and direct the light to where it is needed. Also areflector protects the animals from health problems. If you usea compact fluorescent UV lamp without reflector and it is possiblefor the animals through the cage furniture to sit on a similarheight or shortly below the UV lamp, the UV radiation can hit the eye atan unnatural angle which can cause eye problem. We therefore strongly recommend the use ofa reflector lamp like the Lucky Reptile Thermo Socket plus Reflector models HTR-1 and HTRP-1which also offer the best performance in combination with the Compact UV Sun.By the way, the Compact UV Sun is also excellent for use with birds!
