used as all-day lighting (max. 10 hours per day). However, it is impe-
rative that the reptiles have suitable areas which they can withdraw
to and that overheating of the entire terrarium be avoided. The lamps
need approx. 5 minutes warm-up time until the full radiation capacity
is reached.
Important note on the operating characteristics of the lamp:
This is a so-called mixed-light lamp that starts on its own and requires
no control gear. When it is switched on or after a power interruption,
it takes some time to start and reach its full brightness. An internal
thermal switch turns the lamp off in the event of overheating. After it
has cooled off, the lamp normally switches on again automatically. In
rare cases, the lamp may switch off and not switch on again on its own
or just flimmer when you try to switch it on. In that case, switch off the
power supply and let the lamp cool off for 10 - 15 minutes. The lamp
will then switch on when the power supply is restored.
If the lamp switches off automatically (you notice that the lamp is
switched off even though the power supply is switched on), it is im-
perative to check the conditions of use and make sure the lamp has
better ventilation. This may be achieved by moving the lamp to a spot
with better ventilation in the terrarium and/or decreasing the time it is
switched on. The terrarium that the lamp is installed in may also be too
small. In that case, you may wish to consider using a different source of
UV radiation.
The spotlight should only be installed in a vertical position.
The spotlight should never be sprayed with water!
The amount of UV light emitted by UV lamps generally decreases as
the service life increases. If the UV Spot is operated for 10 hours a day, it
should be replaced after 6 months at the latest.
