Exo Terra Solar Glo Self Ballasted UV Heat Lamp

Introduction

The Exo Terra Solar Glo is an all-in-one self-ballasted UV heat lamp designed to provide the essential lighting elements reptiles need to thrive. This high-performance mercury vapour bulb delivers UVA, UVB, visible light, and heat—all from a single source—making it ideal for creating a natural, sun-like environment within your terrarium. By promoting Vitamin D3 synthesis and supporting calcium metabolism, it helps prevent metabolic bone disease and ensures optimal reptile health. The Solar Glo produces a strong basking zone while also offering a balanced full-spectrum output to enhance colour, behaviour, and overall activity levels. Engineered for reliability and ease of use, this bulb requires no external ballast, making installation simple and efficient.
