Lucky Reptile Bright Control Pro 70w BCP-70UK

The Bright Control PRO is an electronic ballast designed for optimal use of the Bright Sun UV lamps.

An electronic ballast should be preferred over an electromagnetic ballast as it is more efficient and increases the lamp life. It ensures a smoother operation and increases the effectiveness of the lamp. The spectrum of metal halide lamps will stay fairly constant during its life cycle when using electronic ballasts.

Metal halide lamps that are used with an electromagnetic ballasts normally show significant changes in their spectrum especially at their end of life. Only an electronic ballasts like the Bright Control PRO can ensure the best light quality.

In addition the Bright Control PRO will automatically shut off broken or not igniting lamps for safety reasons.

For the Bright Sun UV lamp we recommend the use of the electronic Bright Control PRO over the conventional Bright Control gear box to ensure best possible operation. Apart from the technical advantages it is also much smaller.

The higher aquisition costs are quickly redeemed through a lower energy consumption and longer lamp life

Lucky Reptile Bright Sun Flood Desert 70W BSFD-70

Because the external balast life can last many times longer than the bulb good cost savings can be made when it is time to replace the bulb compared to self balasted mercury vapour bulbs.

This Bright Sun Flood Lamp Desert 70W by Lucky Reptile, is a different way to offer your pet reptile's Terrarium its necessary Ultra-Violet A and B rays, as well as providing a strong heat. These Flood Lamps by Lucky Reptile are designed to provide a wide range of light and heat, rather than focusing on a spot. The Bright Sun Flood Lamp Desert, therefore is great for spreading light, giving a general coverage of the whole of your pet reptile's enclosure.

This is because the Bright Sun FLOOD was developed as an alternative to Lucky Reptile's range of metal halide flood lamps, built to provide a large scale illumination of your terrarium thanks to a 70 degrees reflector. They are also cheaper.

For best illumination of your terrarium we recommend combining the Bright Sun Flood with a Bright Sun UV Desert to create focused, local sun spots.

For animals with low UV requirements like geckos the Bright Sun Flood Desert may be used as sole lighting, making this Lamp potentially very cost effective and versatile.

For a lot of forest dwelling reptiles this is an advantage as many avoid direct sunlight. For these animals the Bright Sun Flood Jungle is the perfect lighting and can be used a sole lamp as these species do also have lower UV requirements

Lucky Reptile Bright Sun UV Desert 70w BSD-70

IMPORTANT: An External Ballast is required for this product to work.

A Bright Sun UV Desert 70W offers comparable heat and UV output than a 160W mercury vapour based UV lamp but its light output is 5 times higher! This is especially important as it was impossible till now to recreate natural lighting conditions inside a terrarium. In nature a light intensity of 100.000 lux and more exists on a sunny day.

Especially with desert species a high light intensity is beneficial for the well-being and will influence activity and colours of the animals. While the Bright Sun UV Desert 70W still cannot match the power of the sun with 60.000 lux at 30 cm, it is far ahead of mercury vapour UV lamps (approx. 10.000 lux), fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps.

The base for this high light output is the energy efficiency of the lamp. Most of the energy is converted into light while with incandescent lamps 95% of the input power is turned into heat. The low heat loss of the Bright Sun lamps allow the use even in small vivariums. An effective reflector construction ensures that almost all created heat is concentrated inside the light focus. The lamp is therefore able to create warm basking areas.

The spectrum of the lamp is optimized for desert reptiles. Research and tests have shown that reptiles from desert regions prefer a daylight spectrum with a colour temperature of 6000K. This is achieved by the Bright Sun UV Desert. In combination with its heat, UV output and high light intensity the Bright Sun UV is practically a small sun for vivariums.

Average life is 6000h, we recommend changing lamps yearly though to provide always the best lighting possible to the animals as the spectrum will change over time. This is typical for metal halide technology and also dependent on the type of ballast used. Also UV and light output will continually decrease over time.

The Bright Sun will fit into standard E27 porcelain lampholder and requires a ballast like the Lucky Reptile Bright Control devices. It is possible to upgrade existing terrarium lighting setups that use E27 lampholders.

Lucky Reptile Bright Sun UV Jungle 70w BSJ-70

The Lucky Reptile bright sun has the combined benefit of visual light, UV light and heat all from one lamp. The Bright Sun UV lamp has similar or better UV and natural light output than a mercury vapour bulb but can be used in much smaller vivariums and terrariums due to a lower amount of heat loss. Any heat lost is reflected due to the bulbs reflective construction and aimed into a beam to create a warm basking spot.

The lower light intensity produced by the Lucky Reptile Bright Sun Jungle UV Lamp is suitable for jungle or forest species and should promote better wellbeing and increased activity from your reptile. In the wild jungle or forest dwelling animals will not receive the high levels of light experienced by desert animals due to leaves and foliage filtering it out. The jungle bright sun UV is designed to mimic these natural conditions

Lucky Reptile Thermo and Socket Reflector PRO Large HTRP-2UK

Contrary to the simple Thermo Socket lampholder sets the Thermo Socket PRO is completely wired and ready for use. There are no electrical installations necessary.
Special mounting accessories and a connector allow the terrarium installation without the need to take the lampholder apart.

The Thermo Socket PRO is also excellent for use with the Lucky Reptile Bright Sun UV lamps as its connector is compatible to the Bright Control ballasts which can simply be attached between lampholder and wall socket. The power lead has a silicon insulation allowing the use of lamps up to 300W including the Osram Vitalux.
Of course the Thermo Socket PRO is also compatible to the Lucky Reptile Reflector Sets.

These high quality reflector lamps have an E27 porcelain lampholder, a high quality steel reflector, wire mesh protector and a silicon power lead.
The steel reflector focusses the light and acts as sight protection, preventing being blinded by the light. The wire mesh protector is placed on the bottom of the reflector and prevents that the animals can get in contact with the bulb.
