Hi,

Tanning lamps are not suited to reptile use. They have a high quantity of UVA and a terrible coloration/poor CRI

The theory of the product design is similar but the phosphor mix is vastly different.

As they do not have light at the correct peak for reptile D3 production there is simply no point.

Hope this helps

John
