JBL launches a new energy-saving lamp for desert terrariums

The cold nights in the desert prompted the JBL expedition members to have some interesting discussions about lighting and reductions in night temperatures in desert terrariums. These discussions resulted in a new version of the JBL ReptilDesert UV light (Special lamp for use in reptile keeping! Not suitable for other applications! No EEK label required. Exemption according to (EU) 2019/2015 Annex IV 3. c) UV radiation > 2mW/klm)

There are three variants for light-heat combinations in desert terrariums: Either the lamp generates heat, light and UV (e.g. through the JBL UV-Spot plus (Special lamp for use in reptile keeping! Not suitable for other applications! No EEK label required. Exemption according to (EU) 2019/2015 Annex IV 3. c) UV radiation > 2mW/klm) or  JBL ReptilDesert L-U-W Light alu (Special lamp for use in reptile keeping! Not suitable for other applications! No EEK label required. Exemption according to (EU) 2019/2015 Annex IV 3. c) UV radiation > 2mW/klm) ). When the lighting is switched off in the evening, the night temperature will also drop. This is the case in most desert biotopes, where it can get painfully cold at night. However, you may prefer daytime temperatures that aren’t so high (mountain or high plateau deserts) and in such cases the new JBL ReptilDesert UV Light is exactly the right choice. It does not heat up the air temperature and allows the temperature to be regulated separately with a heating mat day and night to suit the animals. The glass of the new version also has a new coating, to guarantee long term high UV radiation. The new energy-saving lamps are recognisable by their black base.

The third variant is for desert animals which do not need UV radiation. These include scorpions, spiders and others. The opinions differ on the need for UV with nocturnal leopard geckos and for these there is a lamp that does not emit UV and a heating mat where the temperature can be adjusted ( JBL TerraTemp heatmat ). Once again, we’re grateful for the lively discussions of the expedition members which led to a valuable product.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
