Arcadia ProT5 UVB Kit 12% Dragon
The Arcadia ProT5 UVB Kit 12% Dragon is a high-output T5 kit tailored for bearded dragons and other desert species, delivering a broad, biologically relevant UVB spectrum that supports strong vitamin D3 synthesis. It earns a best-in-class spot for its proven spectral tuning, build quality and predictable lamp life; compared with Zoo Med's more economical 10.0 tube it offers greater UVB intensity for robust health outcomes while remaining less extreme (and slightly more affordable) than Arcadia's own D3+ 14% option.

Zoo Med ReptiSun T5 HO 10.0 UVB
The Zoo Med ReptiSun T5 HO 10.0 UVB is a long-standing market leader known for consistent, reliable 10% UVB output that fits a wide range of reptile enclosures and budgets. Its main advantages are low upfront cost and wide availability—financially attractive for hobbyists—though it provides lower peak intensity than Arcadia's higher-output T5s and lacks the focused heat/UV combination of Exo Terra's basking spot.

Exo Terra point chaud intense UVB150
Le Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot UVB150 est une lampe de chauffe haute intensité dédiée qui combine un fort rayonnement UVB et une chaleur importante, idéale pour les espèces nécessitant une source UV/chaleur concentrée et pénétrante. Techniquement, elle surpasse les tubes linéaires pour le chauffage localisé et la pénétration dans les terrariums denses, ce qui la rend supérieure à l'abat-jour LED de Zoo Med pour le chauffage ponctuel, mais elle consomme plus d'énergie et exige un positionnement soigné comparativement aux systèmes linéaires T5 comme les kits Arcadia.

Arcadia D3+ T5 Desert 14% UVB
The Arcadia D3+ T5 Desert 14% UVB is a premium, ultra-high-output T5 engineered for the most UV-demanding desert reptiles and for clinical or breeder setups that require maximal vitamin D3 synthesis. It commands its market-leader status through exceptional spectral efficacy and higher peak UVB than the Arcadia ProT5 12% and Zoo Med 10.0, though that performance comes with a higher price and stricter mounting distance requirements to avoid overexposure.

Zoo Med ReptiSun LED UVB Terrarium Hood
The Zoo Med ReptiSun LED UVB Terrarium Hood brings long-life, low-energy LED UVB to a convenient hood form factor, offering reduced heat and operating cost—advantages for humidity-sensitive or energy-conscious setups. Its financial and maintenance benefits make it attractive compared with high-energy spot lamps like the Exo Terra UVB150, but its UVB intensity and coverage are generally lower than T5 high-output tubes such as Arcadia's ProT5 and D3+ for deep or large enclosures.
