only HO T-5 Reptile lamp in the US & Canada.
Building on the popularity of our T8 Reptile lighting range, Arcadia launched new range of T5 high performance reptile lamps. These offer significantly higher levels of visible and ultra-violet light than existing T8 fluorescent reptile lighting.
The new lamps are available in both D3 Forest Species (6% UVB) and D3+ Desert Species (12%)

The Arcadia D3 6% Lamp.
As a full spectrum lamp, the Arcadia D3
Reptile lamp simulates sunlight. This provides
high colour rendering for enhanced viewing of
your reptiles and their environment. The colour
temperature of 6,500K replicates typical
daylight conditions. The D3 lamp also helps
plants grow in the vivarium or terrarium,
where these are present.
Through extensive research
Arcadia has developed the ideal
full spectrum lamp that produces
UVB at the optimum level of 6%,
and also UVA at 30% level. The
