Why we recommend Zoo Med UVB Bulbs

Zoo Med sets the standard for Reptile UVB lighting, and their user reviews are sky-high by comparison to a few other mainstream brands. Our recommendation goes a step further than that, though. While no manufacturer seems to print color temperature on their product packaging, Zoo Med's bulbs appear closer to the recommended 5000-6500K color temperature range than other brands. (Seen in the photo above) An appropriate color temperature like this one plays a big part in how naturally accurate a live vivarium will appear to the human eye. It's just an aesthetic observation, but that's important when we're working with a beautiful living environment. While many brands of UVB light will work, Zoo Med's bulbs will work and produce naturally accurate light for a live vivarium.

T5HO Fixture + UVB Bulb Combo
The best T5HO Fixture paired with the best UVB Bulb

Before we switched our grow rooms over to more modern LED technology, we relied on over 300 Jumpstart T5HO Fixtures (1200+ linear feet!) to get the job done. These were the main workhorse of our grow rooms, and they were by far the most reliable brand of T5HO fixture we tested. Jumpstart fixtures aren't rebranded & marked-up for the reptile hobby, they are a workhorse horticultural fixture that's been around for 10+ years. To put it simply, we wouldn't carry this brand if there was a better alternative available, and we're confident you'll be satisfied with it's performance. Each Jumpstart T5HO fixture has a built-in (8-12) hour timer which is ideal for circadian rhythm. While there is a built-in timer, they are also compatible with standard plug timers & timed power centers, if your particular setup uses either. On a related note, these come with what will be an "extra" horticultural T5HO bulb at no extra cost.
Zoo Med's T5HO UVB Bulbs have always been our shop favorite, and the performance is tough to beat. Please check Zoo Med's Chart for information about ideal usage & effective range. Those are important data points to keep in mind while planning your terrarium's basking spot and picking a bulb. Zoo Med's T5HOs have a daylight color spectrum (~6000-6500K range), which looks absolutely great over a live vivarium.
