80 Watt Arcadia Mercury Vapor D3 Bulb 240 Volt
Posted by Unknown on 16th Aug 2020
I have used this uvb for both our girls (bearded dragons) for several years. They work great. Last year we had a problem with the fixture for these bulbs for one of our girls and I replaced the fixture, which was made a lot easier because of his helpfulness. My next purchase will be a solormeter to check to see how good the uvb output is for both our girls tanks.

Best lights ever!

I rescue bearded dragons. I chose Arcadia MVB specifically for it's great UVB. I got a solar metre so I can check monthly on how the UVB is doing. Most of the lights I've bought over the last 4 or so years, since I started using them, have lasted over a year, some almost 2 years before UVB was depleted. I get 80W for my dragons because it doesn't over heat them. As a result, they sit under their UVB light all day that they are in their tank. They also get outside time, so I have an MVB at the top of a ramp I built in the living room so they could see outside.

I've been using these lights for my bearded dragons for over 3 years and they are wonderful. My dragons love them.
