Default Brand new waterproof turtle lamp

Hi guys, you will always hear it here first!!!!!!

From today we are launching our award winning Arc-Pod fitting with a TOTALLY UV TRANSMISSIVE lens!! This means that for the first time ever there is going to be a totally waterproof, low voltage clip on, plug and go UV system for turtles and baby tortoises.

This is an 11watt fitting with a 7% UVB lamp. It has an internal reflector and is electronically ballasted so FLICKER FREE!

Full retail price of just £39.99 but shop around as normal! That's it all in, not add on extras! Lamp included!

Hope you like!

John

Were getting great feedback from the shops already. I think this is going to be a very usable product.

Looks very good, low watts is very good

Are these mainly for smaller set ups ? what kind of depth does the uv go too ?

Hi,

It has a usable gradient of 12" this would also push 1-2" into the water surface.

Great for hatchlings and smaller species.

Also great for phibs!!
