Enclosure width is a starting point for choosing a model. Lighting settings also depend on the species, the distance to the basking area and the enclosure environment.

SOLAR fixture and the illuminated basking zone

Focused at the centre.
Wider around it.

A focused UVB beam defines the basking zone. Wider UVA coverage extends across the surrounding area.

Create distinct basking and retreat areas, helping reptiles perceive the enclosure naturally.

A place for your light.

Standard support legs are included. A magnetic mounting system provides an optional installation beneath a glass top.

Support legs

Place SOLAR securely above the mesh using the included support legs.

Optional · Sold separately

Magnetic mounting

Magnets outside the glass hold the light inside, beneath the top panel. In this arrangement, UV reaches the basking area directly without passing through the glass.

The light.
The detail behind it.

Three distinct channels. Explore the wavelengths, output and optical design behind SPECTERRA lighting.

UVB / 305 nm

Focused UVB.

SPECTERRA uses 305 nm UVB, designed to support vitamin D3 synthesis and healthy calcium metabolism. This design centres on 305 nm rather than shorter wavelengths below 300 nm; wavelength alone does not determine safe exposure.

SOLAR 900UV · UVB output
Up to 150 µW/cm² at 45 cm

This output supports setups for sun-loving desert species, with precise adjustment for different species, enclosure sizes and basking setups.

General UVB exposure guidance: 1–5 hours per day.

The appropriate setting depends on the species, the individual animal’s condition and the enclosure environment. This is guidance, not a universal exposure prescription or independent safety certification.

Axes: wavelength (nm) and intensity (mW).

UVA / 365 nm

A wider view.

Reptile perception can extend into UVA between 320 and 400 nm, revealing colours and patterns beyond human vision.

SPECTERRA’s 365 nm UVA is designed to help reptiles distinguish food, their surroundings and other animals, supporting visual perception, natural activity, feeding and breeding behaviour.

Intensity and operating schedules can be adjusted independently from UVB and visible light on SOLAR.

Full-spectrum visible light

The colour of daylight.

SOLAR uses a broad combination of visible wavelengths, rather than conventional white LEDs alone, to bring the balance and colour of natural daylight into the habitat.

This daylight layer presents reptiles, plants and the complete enclosure in vivid, natural-looking colour, creating a more balanced daytime environment.

SOLAR combines this daylight layer with high-output UVA and UVB, giving each channel independent intensity and scheduling controls.
