Does this lightbulb produce UVB and UVA rays that I could possibly use for reptile-care?

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I rarely ever check my email. I bought this light as a replacement bulb for (a very old) outdoor fixture located above my car. It is strong enough to light up my side of the street (as well as a few other houses). As far as reptile care, I have no idea. Sorry, I was unable to answer your question. Best of luck finding your answer.

uvb is ray that will cause skin aging and perhaps cancer, the sunlamp would not have uvb ray but would eliminate them. vitamin d is made by the body from other rays of sunlight.

I don't know the answer about UVB and UVA rays I only used them one time as they were too big for my hands and got in the way of the polish. I feel like it is better to cover up all you can while using the light. I had a squamous cell cancer on my foot in a place that hardley ever is in the sun. Hope these work for you.

No, it only has LED lights. I would not have purchased this item if it had UV lights.

It should be good as long as you are able to keep your dragon at a safe distance so as not to sustain burns and he/she has a cool side to the setup as these bulbs get super hot! I use these bulbs with chameleons and tortoises. On a side note, if you can afford it, look into getting Arcadia bulbs. They are the best!

HI There....I believe no UV rays are emitted. RV I am not sure about. I would call Phillips lighting 1-800-555-0050 to see if they can answer your questions. I hope that helps.

You can and I do. I have two mini lamps for heat and one for UVB. It works out very well.

You should always wear protective classes when dealing with UV, specially when there is no oher light source, my eyes get strained when looking for scorpions in pitch black nights, however, for pet urine detection at home would be alot easier and you should be fine for a few seconds

I would recommend a repti sun or zoo med basking bulb. Does wonders for your pet

I haven't used one with it yet myself, but I don't see why not. Polished aluminum fixtures like these can reflect a lot more light downward than painted fixtures, but that's more of an issue for CFL UVB bulbs than anything else (output can easily be doubled for those bulbs). CHEs, like spot lamps are already pretty directional, possibly even more so. I'd say just follow general CHE guidelines like Zoo Med's http://www.zoomed.com/Library/ProductDBFiles/ceramicheat.pdf I know it specifically lists 3 Zoo Med fixtures, but the big thing seems to be having a porcelain socket.

Yes, you can, I am using 4 of these lights and a Exo Terra Sunray as our heating and UVB basking light

I'm using my Reptisun bulb in an aquarium hood. Just make sure you're ordering the correct size and wattage.

Yes. you can place directly on top of metal screen.Uvb Ray will reach the reptile without a reflector. Reflector will help.

If you tank is long enough or about the same size of the light is perfect . Because you will have night and day light and heat for you reptile . If your tank is tall and not long enough so go for another type of light but remember you to have day and night light and heat / humidity in your tank all the time and food / water and where to hide . Good luck

Inside the tank, because the UVA & UVB rays can't reach your reptile through the mesh cover. I hope this helps!

No you cannot use a regular bulb because it's deadly to reptiles, and in this model you need a special light bulb, look for it in related items. Hope I helped

Brandon, The 10.uv bulb is more than likely safe for your snake. Zoo Med's web site and personnel have answered any questions I have regarding the use and application of their products. Log on and find out for sure. Good Luck! Stan
