Zoo Med PowerSun 160W UV Bulb for Terrariums
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
The PowerSun™ UV lamp is a versatile self-ballasted mercury vapor light that combines UVA and UVB emissions with heat, all housed in a single convenient lamp. It fits seamlessly into a standard ceramic socket, eliminating the need for a separate ballast. With a wattage of 160, this lamp projects UVB radiation several feet from its surface, making it ideal for use in expansive terrariums and bird aviaries.
One of the key features of the PowerSun™ UV lamp is its ability to promote healthy calcium absorption through UVB radiation. This is particularly crucial for reptiles, as adequate UVB exposure can significantly reduce the risk of metabolic bone disease. The design includes nickel-plated threads to prevent corrosion, ensuring durability and longevity over time. Additionally, the product comes with a full one-year warranty, underscoring the manufacturer's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
Operating at a voltage of 12 volts per bulb, this mercury vapor lamp is not only energy-efficient but also user-friendly, making it easy to integrate into your existing setups. The combination of UVA and UVB emissions, along with heat, creates an optimal environment for your reptiles and birds, enhancing their health and well-being.
In summary, the PowerSun™ UV lamp is an essential tool for anyone maintaining large terrariums or aviaries. Its self-ballasted design, UV radiation capabilities, and heat production all contribute to a healthier habitat for your pets. With its straightforward installation and robust construction, this lamp is an excellent investment for ensuring your animals thrive.

| directions | 10,000-Hour Average Life: Lamps tested have lasted between 5,000 to 15,000 hours with the average being 10,000 hours. Applications: • Provides many of the known benefits of natural sunlight to captive reptiles. • Recommended for setups that allow basking reptiles a way to regulate their exposure to a UV-A and UV-B heat source. • A useful tool, in conjunction with proper diet, for the prevention and veterinary treatment of calcium deficiency and metabolic bone disease in many reptiles. The following species, when kept in enclosures that allow them to self-regulate their level of exposure, can benefit from the UV-A and UV-B of the PowerSun UV Lamp: Water Turtles (all basking types), Tortoises (all basking types), Iguanas (all types), Monitors (all types), Bearded Dragons (all types), Sailfin Lizards (Hydrosaurus sp.), Basilisks (all types), Water Dragons (Physignthus sp.), Chameleons (C. Pardalis, C. Calyptratus), and Chacoan Monkey Frogs (Phyllomdusa Sauvagil). Instructions: 1. Make sure that you have the right lamp. The 160-watt PowerSun UV is designed for large terrarium enclosures and veterinary use. The 100-watt is more appropriate for medium size terrariums. All animals should be able to get a minimum of 12” away from the lamp as well as have a “cooler” area away from the lamp. Minimum 24”. 2. Open package and carefully remove lamp. Hold lamp by the base and inspect glass envelope for any possible cracks or damage. If lamps show any signs of damage see guarantee section of this manual. 3. Zoo Med’s PowerSun UV must be housed in a reptile dome clamp fixture with a ceramic or precelain nase. Screw lamp into base then attach clamp part to something secure like the top rim of terrarium, or use Zoo Med’s Repti Lamp Stand. Position Clamp Lamp on the far right or left side of terrarium (this allows for a warm and cool area in the terrarium). Position dome part of clamp lamp aiming downward and slightly to the rear of the terrarium thus minimizing human eye contact with lamp. Do not mount horizontally. 4. Screen top; make sure the PowerSun UV Lamp and Fixture are above a screen cover. This lamp gets hot; don’t let your animals make direct contact with the lamp. 5. Plug fixture into electrical outlet. The PowerSun UV will take five minutes to “warm up” and reach its full intensity. The PowerSun UV will continue to change hue (or color) until it has completely warmed up. 6. Restarting: The PowerSun UV will take 15 minutes to cool down before being restarted. This is due to a thermal reset feature intended to prevent damage to the lamp by overheating. | ||||
