Sunlux Dual LED T5 48W

SunLux Dual LED T5 48W – Combined LED and T5 Lighting for Terrariums

SunLux Dual LED T5 48W is a modern terrarium light that combines a powerful LED panel and a T5 24W fluorescent tube in one compact device. This combination allows you to create intense and uniform terrarium illumination that meets the needs of many diurnal reptile species and live plants.

The built-in LED panel with 48 LED chips provides bright white light with a color temperature of 6400 K, which resembles natural daylight. The fixture is additionally equipped with space for a T5 tube, which can be used according to the needs of your animals as an additional source of visible light or UVB radiation.

The package includes a daylight T5 24W 6400 K tube. A UVB tube is not included and must be purchased separately.

Combining Daylight and UVB Radiation

One of the main advantages of the SunLux Dual LED T5 fixture is the ability to combine intense LED lighting with a UVB tube.

If you replace the original daylight T5 tube with a suitable UVB T5 24W tube, you get a practical system that combines:

• LED daylight illumination: Provides high intensity visible light and good terrarium illumination.

• UVA and UVB radiation: When using a suitable UVB tube, it provides radiation necessary for natural vision and vitamin D3 synthesis in reptiles.

• Uniform illumination: The elongated design allows you to illuminate a larger area than typical point light sources.

To supplement UVB lighting, we recommend compatible T5 24W UVB tubes from Arcadia or Reptile Systems. The specific type and intensity of UVB radiation must be chosen based on the biological requirements of your species and installation method.

Who is this fixture suitable for?

SunLux Dual LED T5 48W is particularly useful in terrariums for diurnal reptile species that require intense visible light.

It may be suitable for example for terrariums with:

• Chameleons

• Diurnal geckos, such as the genus Phelsuma

• Anoles

• Agamas and other diurnal lizards

• Live plants with higher lighting requirements

The ability to choose a specific UVB tube allows you to customize the lighting to species with different ultraviolet radiation requirements.

Note: The fixture itself does not replace a heat source. For species requiring localized heating, you must also add a suitable heat lamp or other appropriate heat source.

Key Advantages

• Two light sources in one: Combination of built-in LED panel and T5 24W tube.

• Total power 48 W: Powerful lighting in a compact design.

• 48 LED chips: Ensures intense and uniform visible light.

• Color temperature 6400 K: Bright white light resembling natural daylight.

• Option to install UVB tube: Allows you to adapt lighting to the biological needs of reptiles.

• Independent control: LED panel and T5 tube can be switched on and off separately.

• Fixture interconnection: Multiple units can be connected via cable and powered from one outlet.

• Quality metal construction: Durable design suitable for long-term operation.

• Easy installation: Metal brackets and power cable included.

• Long lifespan: Stated average lifespan up to 10,000 hours.

Independent Control of LED Panel and T5 Tube

A major advantage of the SunLux Dual LED T5 fixture is the ability to control both light sources independently.

Each unit has its own switches, allowing you to independently operate:

• LED panel only

• T5 tube only

• LED panel and T5 tube simultaneously

This feature allows you to better adapt the lighting to your terrarium's specific needs and easily adjust its intensity by switching individual sources on and off.

Option to Connect Multiple Fixtures

SunLux Dual LED fixtures can be interconnected using a connection cable, which facilitates lighting installation for larger terrariums or systems with multiple tanks.

By connecting them, you can operate multiple fixtures with a single power outlet connection. The result is cleaner cable management and simpler lighting organization.

When interconnecting, you must always follow the maximum allowed load and the manufacturer's instructions.

Quality Construction and Easy Installation

The SunLux Dual LED T5 48W features compact dimensions and quality metal construction. With a height of only 4 cm, it takes up little space above the terrarium and allows for practical installation.

Included in the package are two metal mounting brackets for securing the fixture to the ceiling or another suitable support surface.

The power cable, 2 meters long, is equipped with its own switch for easy control of the entire device.

Recommendations for Proper Use

To achieve optimal lighting conditions, we recommend combining the SunLux Dual LED T5 48W with a suitable UVB tube based on your species' biological requirements.

When using a UVB tube, it is important to maintain proper distance from your animals and ideally monitor UV radiation intensity with a measuring device. The terrarium must always provide shaded areas as well.

The SunLux Dual LED T5 48W represents a practical solution for keepers who want to combine intense daylight and UVB radiation capability in one compact, well-made fixture.
