• T8 Design: The T8 refers to the tube diameter. T8 lamps have a diameter of 1 - inch (25.4 mm). This size is a standard in the lighting industry and is often used in a variety of fixtures. The relatively compact size of the T8 tube makes it suitable for many different types of enclosures and setups.
• High - Output (HO): The "HO" stands for high - output. This means that the lamp is designed to emit a relatively high amount of ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation compared to standard UVB lamps. The high - output nature of the lamp allows it to penetrate deeper into the environment it is illuminating. For example, in a reptile enclosure, it can provide UVB rays to areas that might not be reached effectively by a lower - output lamp. This is crucial for reptiles like desert - dwelling lizards that rely on UVB for the synthesis of vitamin D3, which is essential for calcium metabolism and overall health.
