## Description

Plastic Plants for all Tropical and Coldwater Aquariums

Review: Great light in the right viv - I got this for my leopard gecko. Usually we bought the screw in uvb bulbs & whilst they worked they took up a lot of area in his Viv. With this light, you can easily set it up at the top of the Viv (behind the wood if you have sliding glass doors) & that stops you being blinded anytime you think of looking for you gecko. It's the perfect size & quality for my Viv l. I have mine plugged into an Alexa plug so she controls his light according to his actual habitat (took some doing but was ok). Great value for money & works better than the screw in bulbs.
Review: Excellent for Royal python - Used to light a 3ft by 2ft vivarium. Partner did not think it would be powerful enough but now admits it's perfect. Easy to fit as well. Perfect size. Good value for money and works well with a timer

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What length is the power cord**
A: About 1 metre

**Q: Does this provide uva & uvb protection**
A: This is a fixture that comes with a ShadeDweller 7% UVB bulb, this amount UVB is not ideal for Lizards as they require 12% or higher for the most part. I use this for some my snakes. If you want something bigger then I recommend a Arcadia Pro T5 which at 12% is what I use for my BTS. This does not come with any protection against UVB

**Q: Is the bulb included?**
A: Yes, the bulb is included in the kit

**Q: Any tips on fitting this, I find it very fiddly. No addesive to stick reflective strip with mine.**
A: Hello,

The unit should just be able to be screwed into the top of your vivarium using the supplied brackets.

Kind regards, Swell UK

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant
*by C***E on 31 May 2025*

All my snakes and geckos thoroughly enjoy their UVB, particularly my colubrids. It’s very easy to install - it’s important to note that minis CANNOT be attached to Pro’s. I find the minis light up 2, 3 & 4ft vivariums really well, however for anything 24 inch tall and higher, the minis will struggle. I’ve got over 10 minis, all of which are connected to each other, they’ve grown my grass, pothos, china doll, china money, snake plant, fern and ivy beautifully.
