: I haven't heard that name, but I think I know what your talking about. Its that flourescent fixture with the mesh around it so you herps can climb on the light and not get elecricutued, right? Nature Zone carries them, they also have a web page where you can order stuff from them online I think. So check them out.

I have to question how effective this product would be in increasing the beneficial exposure to UV. In nature, UV light comes from above and reptiles receive it through their back, not their belly. I question the animals ability to absorb UV when exposed from this direction. Just because the reptile is closer does not guarantee that it is receiving higher levels of UV.
Anyone have any data to support or reject this?
