Q2: Does this kit provide UVB?

Ans: No. Zoo Med's Reptile Lamp Chart shows that neither the Daylight Blue nor the Nightlight Red bulb provides UVB. Daylight Blue provides UVA, while Nightlight Red emits no UVA. If your tropical species needs UVB, ask your veterinarian about adding a separate UVB lamp.

Ans: The Nightlight Red bulb is an economical 24-hour heat source so that it can be used day or night. It provides very little visible light, which is why it pairs with the Daylight Blue bulb for bright daytime light and UVA.

Q4: Can I watch my reptiles at night with this kit?

Ans: Yes. The Nightlight Red bulb emits very little visible light, so it does not disturb your animals' sleep, making it a perfect night light for observing the nocturnal behavior of your reptiles, amphibians, birds, or small animals in your care.

Q5: Why is the Daylight Blue bulb blue?

Ans: The Daylight Blue bulb uses genuine blue glass rather than a painted or coated finish for better heat transfer. Its bright, attractive light output accentuates your animal's natural colors, while the bulb provides daytime heat and beneficial UVA rays for psychological health.

Q6: Why is the Nightlight Red bulb red?

Ans: The Nightlight Red bulb is made of solid red glass, not painted or coated, to improve heat transfer. It emits very little visible light, so it can serve as an economical 24-hour heat source without disturbing your animals' sleep at night.

Q8: Is this kit good for a tropical terrarium?

Ans: Yes. Zoo Med designed the kit to help you get started on your tropical habitat, pairing daytime heat and UVA from Daylight Blue with 24-hour heat from Nightlight Red. If your tropical species requires UVB, add a separate UVB source to the setup.
