Unlike the Bright Sun Flood Desert, the Lucky Reptile Bright Sun Jungle Flood has a slightly lower UV and light output locally, also less heat is emitted. The wide reflector of the Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle provides a wide area illumination of the terrarium. In a beam angle of 70 ° light, heat and UV radiation are optimally dispersed.
The Jungle Flood is ideal as terrarium lighting for animals that originate from forest areas and are not so often exposed to direct sunlight. These include almost all species of chameleons, many species of iguanas and anolis, and diurnal geckos. Since these species have a lower UV requirement, the Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle is sufficient as the only lighting. For the illumination of a rainforest terrarium this UV lamp is also suitable.
For reptiles with a higher UV demand, such as green iguanas, a combination with the Bright Sun UV Jungle is recommended. This way local sun spots can be created in the terrarium, which the animals can visit independently. Also for larger terrariums the combination of at least two lamps is advisable.
The Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle offers a lot of advantages. This floodlight for terrariums provides the terrarium inhabitants with lighting that is extremely close to the lighting conditions in their natural habitat. In addition to heat and light, this lamp emits the necessary UV rays to the animals. Thus, thanks to the Bright Sun series, it is possible for the first time ever to create natural lighting conditions for the reptiles in the terrarium.
Since sufficient light and warmth are vital for the reptiles, a high-quality lighting belongs to the equipment of the terrarium compellingly. The vitality and well-being of the animals is optimally supported by the use of Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle.
But not only the light output is convincing. Also the saving factor provides a surprise. Although the heat and UV radiation of the Bright Sun Jungle Flood can be compared with a 160 watt UV lamp, it is very energy efficient in comparison. Even the light intensity surpasses a conventional 160 watt UV area lamp by five times. This means that the Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle is many times more powerful with lower energy consumption.
In the natural habitat of reptiles, the light intensity can reach up to 100,000 lux. The Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle reaches up to 60,000 lux at a distance of 30 cm. The 150 watt strength even reaches 67,000 lux at a distance of 50 cm. Conventional mixed light sources can't even come close to keeping up. They manage just 10,000 lux.
This illustrates how important the right lighting in terrariums is for the well-being of reptiles. Under the right lighting conditions, the animals show a completely different color scheme. They are much more colorful and much more vividly colored.
The unbeatable values of the Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle are due to the fact that almost all of the radiant energy can be converted directly into light. Conventional lamps lose up to 95% of the energy because it is emitted as heat. This enormous waste heat, which can heat up a terrarium too much, does not occur with the Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle model. Therefore, it is ideal for smaller terrariums. Due to the sophisticated reflector, almost all the heat is directed to the surface in the radiation area.
To use this UV lamp optimally, you also need a ballast and a heat-resistant porcelain socket. The ballast Bright Control Pro EVG (electronic ballast) or KVG (conventional ballast) and a suitable socket like the Lucky Reptile Thermo Socket Pro fit perfectly to the Bright Sun FLOOD UV lamps. These high quality components are therefore easy to handle and allow a perfect light result, with maximum power savings.
This Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle UV lamp is available in 70 and 150 Watt. The lifetime of a Bright Sun FLOOD Jungle is about 6000 hours. Only after one year the UV performance decreases and the lamp should be changed. With conventional UV lamps, the UV power often decreases so much after 3 months that they must be replaced.
