Internet Reptile Mercury Vapour Bulb (MVB) - 100w - Internet Reptile Reviews

The Internet Reptile Mercury Vapour Bulb (MVB)  is an "all in one" lamp providing infra-red (Heat), UVA (Visible Light) and UVB from a single bulb. This type of lamp cannot be used with a thermostat, so is commonly used in open topped tortoise tables or other well ventilated enclosures which help to avoid heat build-up. Now available in 4 wattages; the following information is a guide to help you choose the correct bulb and safe installation distance from your pet.   80w (lamp to animal distance approx. 25-35cm) 100w (lamp to animal distance   approx. 35-45cm) *NEW for 2023* 125w - for when you need a little more heat or distance 160w High Output  (lamp to animal distance   approx. 60-75cm) In warmer areas and in summer months, it can be used in isolation to create a warm basking area. In cooler areas, or for a wider beam of visual light, can be used in conjunction with a regular flood or halogen lamp controlled by a dimming thermostat. Alternatively, installation in a 'dome' type fitting can help to increase temperatures at the warmest part of the enclosure. Aim to create a range of bright and shaded areas with different temperature and UV levels within the enclosure; this will allow your pets to correctly thermoregulate by choosing when and where they bask. Installation and Warranty: Install at a safe distance, in a quality heat resistant (ceramic) fitting or clamp lamp (min diameter 20cm) Position vertically (hanging downwards), not at an angle Not suitable for use with a thermostat Protect against knocks or accidental contact when in use Protect against accidental contact with water Always allow the bulb to fully cool before moving or repositioning.
