Cage Lighting

Full-spectrum light does more than enhance your display; it’s also essential to your pet’s health. Many animals use UVB to synthesize vitamin D3, a critical element for metabolizing calcium in their bodies. Poor UVB enclosure lighting can result in restlessness, agitation, decreased immune response, and shortened life span.

As for UVA light, reptiles are more receptive to this spectrum, so failing to provide enough can alter your pet’s perception of its environment, causing stress, skin disorders, and even frail bones.

Most bulbs for personal use aren’t designed to emit the range of UVA/UVB that animals need because humans receive enough when regularly exposed to direct sunlight. Plus, many commercial fluorescent bulbs have a plastic protective cover that filters the UVA/UVB spectrum.

For this reason, we created a series of wire guards to fit the fixtures we sell. This way, you can protect your animal from damaging the fixture without filtering enclosure lighting.
