Habitat - Indoor :: Question about UVB

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

Post Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2007 5:59 pm   Question about UVB

Will a UVB bulb fit in a regular Flukers clamp lamp that fit those ZooMeds basking UVA bulbs,Or will I have to buy a whole new light fixture?

There are compact UVB bulbs available that should work in the light that you have. There are also MVB (mercury vapor bulbs) that I believe take the same style socket, but require a ceramic base. This is due to the amount of heat they produce.
