SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp, UV lamp GX10

Description

Our SOLAR RAPTOR® HID-Lamp GX10 is a modern UV lamp based on the latest technology of a high-pressure metal vapour lamp.

These lamps come close to the natural range of the sun. This is a much higher value than is the case with fluorescent tubes, spotlights or mixed light and metal halide lamps.

• The aluminium body dissipates excess heat and protects the spotlight from overheating.
• The additional integrated reflector increases the light reflection many times over.
• The tempered glass used prevents dust from burning into the radiator, which would hold back the radiation.

The SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp is our power lighting and helps to provide optimum care for terrarium animals. The SOLAR RAPTOR® HID-Lamp sets new standards in terms of UV stability, service life and daylight output, not least thanks to its excellent manufacturing quality.

A linear solar spectrum and a colour rendering index (CRI) of over 86 bring real sunlight into the terrarium and our HID lamp provides quasi-natural lighting conditions, which ideally supports the colour perception of the terrarium inhabitants.

They are optimally supplied with vital UV-A and UV-B. This not only promotes vitamin D3 synthesis – which is a basic requirement for the healthy development of the bones and armour of terrarium animals – but also prevents deficiency diseases.

Natural perception, appetite and willingness to mate are significantly increased by a sufficient UV supply.

Furthermore, the SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp is also a powerful heat source that ensures that terrarium animals can live at truly comfortable temperatures.

When operating the HID lamp, please pay attention to this:

1. SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamps must be ‘burnt in’.
   When operating the SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp for the first time, the lamp must be in continuous operation for at least 2 hours. This ‘burn-in’ stabilises the SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp and prevents damage later on. Please never switch on the SOLAR RAPTOR® only briefly for a test as long as it is not burnt in.
2. The SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp requires a suitable ballast.
   The HID lamp cannot be operated without a suitable ballast.
   Our high-quality SOLAR RAPTOR® ECGs are recommended here.
3. Always use a ceramic socket (porcelain socket) and a protective cage.
   The high output of our SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp naturally also generates heat at the socket. For this reason, it should only be used in a heat-resistant porcelain socket (ceramic socket). If you do not take this into account, you run the risk of dangerous melting and a high fire hazard, and the SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp also belongs ‘behind bars’. A protective cage or a suitable protective grille ensures that your terrarium animals cannot come into direct contact with the SolarRaptor HID lamp.
   
   Important: Never install the SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp near flammable objects.
4. It is essential to ensure adequate ventilation.
   Never cover the SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp or the ballast. It is essential to ensure good ventilation.
5. Pay attention to the correct operating time.
   You can significantly extend the service life of your SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp if you adhere to certain operating intervals. recommendation: Always leave the SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp on for at least 8 hours before switching it off again. after 12 months at the latest with a daily operating time of around 12 hours, the SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamp should be replaced, as the UV values will deteriorate significantly from this point onwards and your terrarium animals will no longer be optimally cared for.

These SOLAR RAPTOR® HID lamps have a GX10 base and are only intended as a supplementary supply (UV/heat) for pets.

Not suitable for room lighting or as a heat source in the home.

HID = high intensity discharge
PAR = parabolic aluminized reflector
GX10 = Sockets (parallel metal pins with 10 mm spacing and a diameter of 5 mm at the pin end)
