Overview
Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB is a high-output T8 fluorescent reptile lamp intended for enclosures where stronger UVB penetration is required. It emits 10% UVB and 30% UVA and is a useful option for desert and other high-UVB reptile setups.
Zoo Med states that useful UVB reaches up to approximately 20 inches (51cm) from the lamp surface, making the 10.0 range suitable where greater penetration is needed than with the ReptiSun 5.0 T8.
