Editorial Reviews:
Product Description Fluker's Sun-Glow Coil Lantern bulbs produce a higher level of ultra violet B radiation than most other similar bulbs on the market. Research shows that Fluker's Sun Glow bulbs produce greater than 250 microwatts/cm at the bulb's surface, while most other similar bulbs produce less than 150 microwatts/cm at the bulb's surface. Reptiles not exposed to proper UVB lighting are at a significantly higher risk of developing metabolic bone disease, which can be fatal. In addition to the health benefits, the coiled bulb produces a pleasant, natural glow whereas most standard fluorescent bulbs produce a dull, artificial light.
