This all-in-one UVA/UVB 160-Watt Bulb provides the proper balance of UVA and UVB providing an excellent source of light and heat for your primate. Special UV-transmitting glass ensures optimum light and heat output. The bulb simulates the sun's rays to make your baby more comfortable by promoting vitamin D3 synthesis to maintain healthy skin and bones. It prevents and can even reverse metabolic bone disease and helps to increase appetite, color and breeding activity. The bulb will keep your Marmoset or other primates healthy and happy for quite a long time. The bulb needs to be no more than 12 inches away from the primate or it's reach. It is recommended that you replace the bulb about every 6-8 months depending on how long your monkey is under it each day. It is usually recommended to have the light on for 2-3 hours a day. I usually leave it on a bit more. Remember even through the bulb gives off light its ability to provide UVB/UVA can be used up quickly if you leave it on all day etc. We recommend using this bulb with the Fluker's Sun Dome Lamp Fixture. Add the reuseable UVA/UVB Sensor Card to check and find out if your bulb is still giving off UVA/UVB for your monkey. Sensor Cards must be stored in complete darkness to work properly.

Fluker's Sun Dome Lamp Fixture is designed with an extra-long dome which is perfect for use with large/long bulbs. The dome extends beyond the face of the lamp so longer bulbs are contained within the fixture. The polished aluminum surface inside the dome increases the UBV & UVA output compared to domes with interior white surfaces. Lamp measures 27" around and 9" tall. Get all 3 & $AVE!
