The ReptiStar 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. Available in 3 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) 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 Position vertically (hanging downwards), not at an angle Not suitable for use with a thermostat Not suitable for use in enclosed areas 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.
