The high-quality SuperSun lamp creates a heat island by emitting its waves at an angle of 50 degrees, while UVB and UVA radiation is emitted in a much wider range. Thanks to this solution, the animal can choose the heat zone in which it wants to stay while having constant access to UV waves.
The use of a SuperSun bulb solves the problem of installing many different bulbs with different characteristics (daylight, UVB, heating), thanks to which we provide the animal with all the necessary light waves using one bulb.
The UV emission in an incandescent-mercury lamp is much higher than in traditional compact UV bulbs or fluorescent lamps (12.0), so it is possible to mount the lamp at a much higher height, which has a beneficial effect on the appearance of the terrarium.
UV radiation stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D3, stimulates appetite, helps recognize the environment and sexual partners, helps search for food, and increases the animal's vitality and activity.
Birds and reptiles, unlike humans, have appropriate receptors for receiving the ultraviolet range. The lack of UV radiation in the lighting provided to our wards is often downplayed by keepers because, as mentioned, humans cannot perceive this light and focus on illumination in the visible light range.
Incandescent-mercury lamp - a lamp that does not require a ballast. Instead, it is equipped with a filament, similar to a traditional incandescent light bulb. The filament is connected in series with the arc tube and in this type of lamps acts as a ballast.
The arc tube is a light source containing mercury spectral lines with high pressure broadening. Some of these lines lie in the ultraviolet range.
