URS Compact Max Globe 5.0 (UV Flourescent Globe) 13W

Introduction

The URS Compact Max Globe 5.0 (UV Fluorescent Globe) 13W is a high-quality UVB lighting solution designed for reptiles and amphibians that thrive in shaded or forest environments. With a 5.0 UVB output, this compact fluorescent globe provides essential ultraviolet light that supports calcium absorption, healthy bone development, and overall well-being in reptiles. Its compact design and reliable performance make it an excellent choice for smaller enclosures and terrariums.

Features

• Balanced UVB Output: Provides 5.0 UVB, ideal for tropical and forest-dwelling reptiles that receive moderate UV exposure in their natural habitats.

• Supports Pet Health: Promotes vitamin D₃ synthesis, which is essential for calcium metabolism, strong bones, and preventing metabolic bone disease.

• Compact Design: 13W globe fits easily into standard E27 screw fittings, making installation simple in most reptile enclosures.

• Natural Daylight Simulation: Offers UVA and visible light to encourage natural behavior, feeding, and activity levels.

• Energy Efficient: Provides strong UV output without high energy consumption.

• Durable Build: Designed for long-lasting use and consistent UV emission.

Usage

• Install in a suitable E27 lamp holder above the enclosure.

• Position 20–30 cm above the basking area to ensure effective UV exposure.

• Replace the globe every 6–12 months, as UVB output diminishes over time even if the lamp is still producing visible light.

• Always combine with a heat source (such as an infrared or basking lamp) to create a proper thermal gradient.

Available Wattage

• 13W (Compact size, ideal for smaller enclosures)

Recommendations

• Best suited for reptiles and amphibians that live in tropical or forest habitats, such as geckos, anoles, frogs, and small lizards.

• Pair with a heat lamp to provide both UVB and warmth for a complete basking setup.

• Regularly monitor UV levels using a UV meter to ensure pets are receiving adequate exposure.

• Choose the URS Compact Max Globe 10.0 for desert-dwelling species that require higher UVB exposure.
