Arcadia D3 Basking Lamp - Mercury Vapour

Arcadia D3 UV Basking Lamp 2nd Generation

High performance lamp providing UV-B, UV-A, visible light and heat from a single source.

Designed as a basking lamp for larger vivaria in which the reptile has sufficient room to move into and out of the basking area to regulate its temperature.

The D3 basking lamp is an ideal all-in-one lamp for providing heat, light and UV, every technology however has limitations.

We would suggest that in enclosures over 60cm in length, a high output T5 lamp is used alongside these UV-rich basking spots. This then allows the animal to decide when and where to bask at a particular time.

Many species of reptile and Amphibian require a warm spot under which they can bask and become fully energised with heat and Ultra Violet. As in nature, these basking zones should be UV rich and stable.

We therefore produce this lamp in three sizes. 80 watt, 100watt and 160watt.

The 80 Watt ‘Mini Mercury Vapour’ is a useful option for smaller vivaria. UVB and a balanced UVA similar to wild exposure at lower fitting heights and also produce a good amount of heat.
