Why UVB Matters

Correct UVB lighting plays an essential role in reptile health. It allows reptiles to naturally produce Vitamin D3, helping them absorb dietary calcium and supporting healthy bone growth, muscle function and overall wellbeing.

The Arcadia ShadeDweller has been specifically developed for reptiles and amphibians that naturally experience lower UV levels in the wild, providing a safe and effective lighting solution without excessive UV exposure.

The highly polished built-in reflector directs significantly more usable light towards your animal while reducing wasted light, creating an efficient and natural basking zone.
