Anyone know if this is useful lighting and which stage its useful for?
Its a reptile lamp i had laying around. I'm planning to just put it part of my standard 16/8 and 12/12(when i start it).
20 watts.Contains the highest amounts of bothUVBandUVAwavelengths (according to an independent laboratory spectral analysis.) The UVB wavelength helps toprevent or reverse Metabolic Bone Diseasein green iguanas as well as other species of lizards in captivity. Strengthens and improves shell growth on all captive turtles and tortoises.UVA wavelengthincreases appetite and physical activity.It helps to induce reproductive behaviors and is beneficial to the psychological well-being of captive reptiles and amphibians.Safer than adding powdered or liquid synthetic D3 supplements, as the UVB wavelength allows all reptiles the ability to regulate their ownVitamin D3levels by endogenous synthesis as they would in nature! Eliminates the risk of vitamin D3 overdose (highly toxic) from synthetic sources.Wavelength penetrates afull 10-12"from the bulb's surface. We use pure quartz glass sleeves.The bulb's UVA/UVB wavelength remains effective for1 to 1-1/2 years.(Replace bulbs yearly).
I currently have a small 150W 6500K full spectrum Compact Fluorescent lamp for 5 plants and would like to put in more lighting on a budget. They seem to be growing slow. Thanks!
