Just curious if anyone has looked into the UVA and UVBled lights? I wonder if they would be worth it since you have to change the t5 bulbs about every 6 months ish.

I have read about the spectrum of all the original LEDUVB produced and they all had inappropriate UV spectrums. Some even produced UVC rays, and all lack UVA wavelengths
All of the decent fluorescent UVB bulbs produce even more UVA than UVB which is essential for appropriate regulation of...
I am having one hell of a time trying to decipher light indexes n stuff so I can learn what lights work for a chameleon and which ones don't.
Does anyone know of any LED bulbs that work? Potentially an LED light fixture?
Hello. I’m looking at getting this UVB,

and this LED,

I’m seeing older mixed reviews on this site, does anyone know if it’s credible...
I was watching one of my favorite youtubers, and I foud something interesting.
LED Bulb with UVB- UVA- and 6500k spectrum for plants.
Have anyone tried it?
I know this topic was brought up before, but it seems like Reptisun came out with something interesting and expensive nonetheless. Who's gonna try it 1st? I wonder how good it is...
Not that I’ll be using it for my chamily, but I picked up an LED, that purports to put out uvb. Whether or not this uvb is in the sweet spot (~295nm), I don’t know. It might even be putting out UVC. Anyways, here’s the pic:
So I have not heard of this but it may give hope. If I understand correctly the UVB needed is 290-310nm, This is claiming 293nm led for D3 production.
Not this is for medical use in humans, but it means we may have something headed our way ? It is also from 2017 I believe.
Research...
I’m thinking about incorporating a couple of these bulbs into a free range setup. Wondering if anyone has personal experience with this bulb or a similar unit?

I've recently read an article about various UV range LEDs. They were shown to be very effective in stimulating vitamin D production in both humans and mice. It seems the technology is using gallium nitride to give the bulbs a peak in the various UV ranges. The same technology is used to cure...
So after going to a different vet for my chameleons eye issues, he told me to fix my uvb bulb by replacing with a linear one and discontinue the use of antibiotics. My question is, if my terrarium is 24 inches wide, should I be buying one that large? Or should it be half the size of the cage? I...
Are there any good LED bulbs that also provide UVB? I have been using mercury vapor bulbs for UVB, but I'm sick of them randomly burning out all the freakin time.
Hi everyone! I have a Zoo Med 30 inch LED/UVB combo light fixture! It is very new! It used it less than 5 days.
Everything works great. It is a great light it has LED 6500k day light and UVB all in one! I am asking 120 or obo for the fixture! I dont think I will ship since it is a light. So...
I saw a new 24 inch Zoo Med Reptisun LEDUVB Terrarium Hood For about $100 I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it. It comes with a reptisun 5.0 uvb I was thinking of changing that to a 10.0 Since I'll be using it on a 24x24x48 cage with a bunch of plants in it. Just wanted to hear any thoughts on...
Does anyone have any experience with the ReptiSun LEDUVB Terrarium Hood?
It looks like a good product, however I do not have any experience with Zoo Med as a brand.
I am considering purchasing these units instead of an aquarium T5 canopy. Anyone out there with any feedback?
Thanks.
...lighting.
The one thing I've seen very little about is LED lighting as a source of UVB. The most I've seen is a post from a few years ago about UVBLEDs being for sale, but that they were bogus.
Do you folks know of any developments in the field of LED lighting?
Thanks for the info.
Hey Everyone,
I've seen a few posts of people asking questions about the new Reptisun LEDUVB fixtures and while I was at my local reptile shop I saw that they had just got a shipment of them in. They looked pretty sweet so I decided to buy one and give it a try. I already have a couple of...
Hey guys I just recently found this new fixture made by zoomed. Has anyone used something similar to this setup? What are y'alls thoughts on this? For some reason I couldn't find this product for sale so i decided to make my own version of this lol. I bought a three LED strip fixture that is...
