Lucky Reptile Bright Control Ref: 63015 The Bright Control is necessary for operating Bright Sun UV lamps. It contains ballasts, igniter and a capacitor inside a gear box and is ready for use with a connector. A suitable lampholder has to purchased separately. We recommend the Lucky Reptile Thermo Socket PRO with silicone wire as its connector is compatible to the Bright Control devices creating a Plug and Play solution. Other lampholders may be attached as well allowing to upgrade existing vivarium setups with the Bright Sun technology. Note that the cable length between gear box and lamp should not exceed 2,5m to ensure correct operation of the lamp. The shorter the cable length the smoother operation can be expected. If you rewire existing setups, make sure that you only use suitable wires as metal halide lamps need high voltages during the ignition phase. The Bright Control therefore has a wire with silicon insulation and the connector was also designed for the high voltages of metal halide lighting. More...

Lucky Reptile Bright Control PRO Ref: 63031 The Bright Control PRO is an electronic ballast designed for optimal use of the Bright Sun UV lamps. An electronic ballast should be preferred over an electromagnetic ballast as it is more efficient and increases the lamp life. It ensures a smoother operation and increases the effectiveness of the lamp. The spectrum of metal halide lamps will stay fairly constant during its life cycle when using electronic ballasts. Metal halide lamps that are used with an electromagnetic ballasts normally show significant changes in their spectrum especially at their end of life. Only an electronic ballasts like the Bright Control PRO can ensure the best light quality. In addition the Bright Control PRO will automatically shut off broken or not igniting lamps for safety reasons. More...

Lucky Reptile Bright Sun UV Desert Ref: 63601 The Bright Sun UV is a revolutionary new UV lamp that offers light, heat and UV in one lamp at low wattages. A Bright Sun UV Desert 70W offers comparable heat and UV output than a 160W mercury vapour based UV lamp but its light output is 5 times higher! This is especially important as it was impossible till now to recreate natural lighting conditions inside a terrarium. In nature a light intensity of 100.000 lux and more exists on a sunny day. Especially with desert species a high light intensity is beneficial for the well-being and will influence activity and colours of the animals. While the Bright Sun UV Desert 70W still cannot match the power of the sun with 60.000 lux at 30 cm, it is far ahead of mercury vapour UV lamps (approx. 10.000 lux), fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps. Needs external ballast! full details... Available in 2 sizes Choose Size 50W £33.42 (including vat at 17.5%) 70W £36.84 (including vat at 17.5%)

Lucky Reptile Bright Sun UV Jungle Ref: 63611 Thanks to its wide reflector the Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle ensures a large scale illumination of terrarium and has a lower UV and light output than a Bright Sun UV. For a lot of forest dwelling reptiles this is an advantage as many avoid direct sunlight. Most chameleons for example belong to this group. For these animals the Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle is the perfect lighting and can be used a sole lamp as these species do also have lower UV requirements. For sun loving animals like Green Iguanas we recommend the combination with the Bright Sun UV Jungle to create local basking sites. Ballast necessary! full details...

Lucky Reptile Bright Sun UV SPOT 70W Ref: 63612 The Bright Sun UV SPOT was developed for applications where a high light and UV performance is necessary. It will achieve sufficient UV and light performance at distances of 100 cm and more. Compared to mercury vapour based UV spot lamps the lighting sphere is significantly larger, giving animals a bigger basking area. A minimum distance of 50 cm to the animal is recommened. At this distance over 100.000 lux and approx. 250 Microwatts/cm2 are achieved. This corresponds to the natural conditions on a summer day in Central Europe. At shorter distances the UV output is significantly higher than that of the sun. Since the terrarium is a limited habitat we can only warn from exposing the animals higher UV radition than in nature as UV is potentially dangerous. Ballasts necessary! Due to a wrong glass production, we currently ship models at special conditions that have an effective range of 40-60 cm! More... Price: £36.84 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Lucky Reptile Bright Sun FLOOD Desert 70W Ref: 63641 Die Bright Sun FLOOD was developed as an alternative to metal halide flood lamps and ensures a large scale illumination of the terrarium thanks to a 70° reflector. The lamp offers UVA and UVB radiation as well as a certain heat output. For best illumination of your terrarium we recommend a combination with a Bright Sun UV Desert to create local sun spots. For animals with low UV requirements like geckos the Bright Sun FLOOD Desert may be used as sole lighting. Ballast necessary! More... Price: £29.99 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Lucky Reptile Bright Sun Ultra Desert Lamp 150W Ref: 63631 The Bright Sun ULTRA is a high performance lamp which was developed for use in large terrariums. It is necessary to keep a minimum distance of 50 cm to the animals. At this distance temperatures of over 50°C can be achieved. Thanks to the special reflector the terrarium is widely illuminated. Ballast necessary! More... Price: £42.84 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Zoo Med UVB Dig UV Radiometer Ref: ST-6 Use this meter to test the relative decay of UVB in a given lamp over time. It reads in microwatts per square centimeter. Know,don’t guess! when it’s time to replace your fluorescent UVB lamps. More... Price: £226.53 (Including VAT at 17.5%)
