Reptile UV Lamp Exo Terra PT2394 14 W — 1 pc, Ultraviolet light

Exo Terra PT2394 14 W is a single ultraviolet (UV) lamp specifically developed for reptile enclosures. This lamp delivers a high UVB output suitable for species that require strong UV exposure, such as desert-dwelling reptiles, and is intended for use in terrariums with compatible fixtures and reflectors. The lamp supports natural behavior and physiological processes by providing UV wavelengths that contribute to vitamin D3 synthesis and help maintain normal calcium metabolism.

Advantages

The Exo Terra PT2394 produces a high level of UVB comparable to strong natural sunlight in arid environments, helping to ensure sufficient UVB penetration even when a terrarium has a denser screen cover that can significantly reduce UV transmission. Its elevated D3 conversion efficiency promotes vitamin D3 production, which supports calcium absorption and reduces the risk of metabolic bone disease in reptiles. Supplied as a single 14 W unit, the lamp is compact and suitable for a variety of terrarium sizes when used with appropriate fixtures.

Suitable for

• Desert-dwelling reptiles that require intense UVB exposure
• Terrariums with denser screen covers where extra UVB penetration is needed
• Enclosures where vitamin D3 synthesis and calcium metabolism support is required

Key specifications

• Power: 14 W
• Type: Ultraviolet (UV) lamp with high UVB output
• Intended use: Reptile terrariums and enclosures
• Form factor: Single lamp unit suitable for compatible fixtures and reflectors
• Primary effect: Supports vitamin D3 synthesis for improved calcium metabolism

How to use

Install the Exo Terra PT2394 in a fixture or reflector designed for UV lamps according to the manufacturer's instructions for electrical safety and lamp orientation. Position the lamp to provide a gradient of UV intensity within the terrarium so reptiles can move between higher and lower exposure zones. Replace the lamp according to the recommended interval from the fixture or lamp manufacturer, as UVB output diminishes over time even when visible light remains. Ensure the lamp is compatible with the terrarium cover and that screen density does not block required UVB levels.

Usage recommendations

Use this lamp mainly for diurnal and desert species that naturally receive strong sunlight. Monitor animal behavior and health, and combine the lamp with appropriate heat sources and hide areas to allow reptiles to thermoregulate and control UV exposure. Regularly check and replace the lamp to maintain effective UVB output and support vitamin D3 production.
