The Arcadia D3+ Dragon T5 is a fluorescent UV-B lamp designed for terrarium lighting. It delivers 14% UVB radiation and 24 W of power in a 56 cm T5 form factor, suitable for reptile and amphibian enclosures that require UV-B exposure for vitamin D3 synthesis.
14% UVB output supports calcium metabolism and prevents metabolic bone disease in diurnal reptiles
24 W T5 lamp provides adequate light intensity for terrariums up to 56 cm in length
Kaltweiss/Tageslichtweiss colour temperature delivers a natural daylight spectrum for daytime-active species
Requires a compatible ballast (Vorschaltgerät) — not included
Das zeichnet die Arcadia D3+ Dragon T5 aus
The D3+ series combines UV-B emission with a daylight colour temperature in a single T5 tube, eliminating the need for separate UV and heat sources in smaller terrarium setups. The 56 cm length and 24 W rating make it a direct replacement for standard T5 fluorescent tubes in existing fixtures.
Ideal für...
Daytime-active reptile species such as bearded dragons, water dragons, and iguanas that depend on UV-B radiation for vitamin D3 production and calcium absorption. Also suited for amphibian terrariums where a natural daylight cycle is required.
Anwendung von Arcadia D3+ Dragon T5
Install the lamp in a compatible T5 ballast fixture
Position the lamp 20–40 cm above the basking area for optimal UV-B exposure
Replace the lamp every 6–12 months, as UV-B output degrades over time even if the tube still emits visible light
Always switch off the lamp during the night cycle to maintain a natural day-night rhythm
Arcadia is a specialist brand in reptile and amphibian terrarium lighting, focusing on UV-B and daylight-spectrum fluorescent tubes. The D3+ Dragon T5 line is one of their core product ranges for diurnal reptile husbandry.
It provides UV-B radiation and daylight-spectrum light for terrariums housing diurnal reptiles and amphibians that need UV-B to synthesise vitamin D3 and metabolise calcium.
Yes, the T5 lamp requires a compatible electronic ballast (Vorschaltgerät). The ballast is not included in the delivery.
14% UVB radiation, 24 W total power, 56 cm T5 tube length, Kaltweiss/Tageslichtweiss colour temperature, requires a ballast.
Replace every 6–12 months. UV-B output diminishes over time even though the tube continues to emit visible light, so regular replacement ensures consistent UV-B exposure.
Daytime-active reptile species such as bearded dragons, water dragons, and iguanas, as well as amphibians that require a natural daylight cycle with UV-B in their terrarium.
