Zoo Med Power Sun UV Lamp

Introduction

The Zoo Med Power Sun UV Lamp is a powerful all‑in‑one UV and heat lighting solution engineered to recreate natural sunlight conditions for reptile habitats. Combining UVA, UVB, visible light, and heat in a single bulb, it promotes healthy thermoregulation, natural behaviours, and essential Vitamin D₃ synthesis. Available in 80W, 100W, and 160W options, the Power Sun UV Lamp is suitable for a wide range of reptiles—from small to large terrariums—supporting optimal wellness and activity levels.
