Terra Metahalogen HID Lamp UVB 35W PAR30

3in1 35W metahalogen daylight
for terrarium 

A metahalogen light bulb is the best source of light available for terrariums. It best reflects natural sunlight. It is the only one that provides comprehensive terrarium lighting in the areas of: daylight, heat emission and UVA and UVB radiation. It provides the full spectrum of rays necessary for the life of teraristic animals.  High energy UVB radiation plays a key role in the breeding of terrarium animals. It provides them with healthy and proper development, stimulates activity, improves appetite and digestion. 

The metahalogen light bulb, compared to traditional incandescent lamps, gives more heat, with lower power consumption and longer life of the filament. In addition, its luminaire allows you to direct the light into one chosen place, which makes it possible to create heat islands inside the terarium. The bulb can also be combined with night lighting for optimal lighting and reproducing the natural day cycle.

• daylight terrarium lighting
• 3in1 source of heat, light and UVB radiation to keep the animals in good condition
• the ability to direct a focused light beam at a selected point 
• longer life of the filament
• it requires the use of a ballast

IMPORTANT TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Ballast requirements

• Necessary use: Metal halide bulbs (HID type) must be connected to an external ballast in order to function properly. This component is not included in the set and must be purchased separately.
• Principle of operation: Like fluorescent lamps, metal halide lamps generate a very high voltage of up to 5000 V in the circuit during ignition. However, immediately after ignition, this voltage must be significantly reduced. The ballast is a component of the installation that regulates the flow of current in the circuit.
• Power selection: The power of the ballast must be precisely matched to the power of the bulb. A 50W ballast must be used with a 50W metal halide lamp. Variable Electronic ballast are available on the market, which can power bulbs of three different powers: 35W/50W/70W. The power is regulated by a switch.
• Availability: Dedicated ballasts are available in specialist terrarium shops, electrical wholesalers and online.
