Product information

Nature as a model:
Terrarium animals are cold-blooded animals, which are strongly dependent on light, and particularly on the quality and intensity of the light. Activity, food intake, digestion or rest phases are influenced by the change between day and night and the intensity of light. Depending on the light source, there are differences in the output and quality of the light.

Besides this, many terrarium animals associate light with heat and seek light places in the terrarium in order to „bask in the sun“. These considerations are especially important when choosing heating equipment for desert terrariums. There are differences in the yield and quality of light depending on the light source used. Fluorescent tubes, for example, provide a lot of light with little heat production, whereas light bulbs convert a major share of the energy taken up into heat and only a small share into light.

Depending on their country of origin, terrarium animals can require a lot or a little UV light for their well-being. UV-B stimulates the synthesis of Vitamin D3 from its preliminary stage Vitamin D2. UV-A stimulates pigmentation Don’t forget that glass absorbs around 50 % of the UV radiation, so always install the lamps inside the terrarium.

The JBL UV Spot Plus is ideal for terrarium animals which require sunlight, ultraviolet light (i.e. diurnal animals) and heat. It offers a full spectrum that simulates sunlight and includes UV-A and B radiation, along with heat emission for the terrarium. The temperature in the terrarium decreases after the lamps are switched off, thereby simulating the wanted nighttime drop in temperature.

For high terrariums it is important that the animals can approach the lamp in such a way that they receive enough UV radiation.

FAQ
Is it normal that my JBL Solar UV-Spot plus switches itself off?

The UV spotlight shouldn’t switch itself off. This either indicates a defect (as is most often the case) or otherwise insufficient heat dissipation in the proximity of the spot, which then causes it to switch itself off (overheating protection).

Do terrarium animals know when they have received enough UV radiation? Or in other words: Do the animals withdraw into the shade after they have received sufficient UV radiation from the UV light source or can they get sunburn?

Here it depends on the species and behaviour. Animals which can be exposed to too much UV radiation in the wild, like mountain animals (some chameleon species are examples of this), know when they have received enough UV-radiation. This is based on a variety of factors (amount of light in lux, humidity). Other animal groups, such as those living on the ground in the rain forest, never receive too much UV radiation in their natural habitat. These animals would be harmed by permanent, strong UV radiation.

Less can be an advantage

Not every terrarium for animals, who need UV radiation, is over 60 cm high and can be equipped with 100 or 160 W UV spot lights. Quite a few terrarium enthusiasts own terrariums where the animals are situated at a distance between 30 - 60 cm to the light source.

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).
