Arcadia D3 Compact Bulb is an E27 screw fit, D3, 7% UVB lamp in 23 watts. Arcadia Reptile’s new range of compact lamps is the best we have ever had with improved electronics, UV-C blocking glass, higher output and the best German sourced phosphors. All this ensures that our compact reptile and bird lamps are the best available. The compact lamps use HO-T5 technology to create full spectrum+UV-B light. They have an internal anti-flicker ballast and can be used in any high quality E26 or E27 lamp holder. Compact lamps can be very useful if reflected correctly and positioned so that the flat part of the glass points downwards. This creates a usable basking area for small species or hatchlings. We should always ensure that our resting area is as long as the animal's body, from the nose to the cloaca in lizards, the entire snake when coiled for basking or the entire carapace for Chelonia. The animal should also have equal or greater access to areas of graduated shade.
