Arcadia compact lamp D3 Forest 7% UV-B – Natural UV-B lighting for forest terrariums

The Arcadia D3 Forest 7 % UV-B compact lamp is a reliable light source for forest terrariums. It was specially developed for reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates that come from shady habitats. With 7 % UV-B and 30 % UV-A, it offers a balanced spectrum that is modeled on the light conditions in rainforests or mountain forests. Animals in such habitats are dependent on indirect UV radiation. This is exactly what this lamp provides – in a natural, safe intensity.

The UV-B component promotes the body’s own production of vitamin D3. This is crucial for healthy calcium utilization. This keeps bones and muscles strong. Activity, appetite and reproduction also benefit from a species-appropriate UV supply. The lamp is available in two versions: 13 watts with 304 lumens and 23 watts with 798 lumens. The smaller version is suitable for terrariums up to around 40 cm high. The larger version is ideal for tanks up to around 60 cm high. Both versions not only provide healthy light, but also support plant growth.

A major advantage is the ease of use. The lamp fits into any standard E27 socket and does not require a ballast. It can be used flexibly – as the main light source in small tanks or as a supplement in larger set-ups. Animals such as day geckos, anoles or small chameleons in particular benefit from the natural lighting effect. Their health depends heavily on a constant supply of UV light.

Even if the Arcadia D3 Wald 7 % UV-B compact lamp is still illuminated after one year, it should be replaced regularly. This is because the UV output decreases over time. The Arcadia D3 Forest 7 % UV-B compact lamp is a safe choice for anyone who values species-appropriate husbandry. It is energy-saving, effective and provides exactly what animals and plants need in a forest terrarium.
