Bright Sun UV Jungle 50 Watt
The Bright Sun UV Jungle was developed especially for reptiles from tropical and forest regions. It has a slightly lower UV performance as the Bright Sun UV Desert to account for the different conditions in the natural habitat of these animals. Branches and leafs in the forest will filter quite a lot of UV and the animals will not experience the full intensity of the sun. In addition it has to be considered that aboreal animals will usually have the ability to get quite close to a lamp inside a vivarium. Since UV radiation is potentially dangerous and the UV intensity is at 10 cm distance 5 times higher than at 30 cm, we have consciously reduced the UV output.
The spectrum was adapted to the natural conditions of forest regions. The colour temperature is with 4000K warmer than the daylight of the Bright Sun UV Desert. Tests have shown that tropcal lizards like water dragons prefer the warmer light of the Bright Sun UV Jungle over the daylight of the Bright Sun UV Desert.
The warmer light of the Bright Sun UV Jungle will also promote the colours of plants causing a nice forest ambiance inside the vivarium.
Ballast necessary!

Bright Sun general
Q: What is the Bright Sun?A: The Bright Sun is a metal halode lamp and currently resembles the most modern technology for UV lamps. Metal halide lamps need a special ballast for operation but are extremely enery efficient. The lighting characteristics of metal halides are close to natural sunlight. The Bright Sun offers UV and heat radiation and excels with a high light output which is 5 times higher than self ballasted mercury vapour lamps. This makes the Bright Sun the first lamp which truly can satisfy all reptile lightings needs in one lamp.
Bright Control PRO makes a high noise
Q: The ballast makes a very high, constant sound. Is this normal?A: In general electronic ballasts for HID lamps emit a high frequency noise which some humans consider distrurbing. Should the noise be very loud, it can be due to an external interference, e.g. by another ballast. In addition you should check the cable connections: connectors on both sides (including cable positioning inside the connectro) as well as the cable connection at the ballast and the lampholder. The lamp must be screwed in properly. Bad contacts can increase the noise significantly.
UV Calculator
With the UV Calculator you can determine in which way the UVB Level changes depending on the distance to the object. In addition we give recomendations on levels of intensity so the animals get enough UV. You can download this free of charge software in our download section!
