Why Choose GlowUp UVB
The Ultimate All-in-One Lighting Solution
Stop worrying about matching the right wattage tube to the correct starter unit. The GlowUp t8 reptile uvb light kit provides everything you need in one box. Designed specifically for the UK keeper, this complete 18 inch reptile light fixture includes a built-in flicker-free electronic ballast and our premium 10.0 uvb reptile lamp, ensuring your pet gets the vital light they need immediately.
Essential for Desert Species
Desert reptiles like bearded dragons, uromastyx, and tortoises require high levels of UVB to naturally synthesise Vitamin D3 and absorb calcium. Our 15w uvb tube light delivers a steady 10% UVB and 30% UVA output, mimicking the intense sun of their natural arid habitats. This helps prevent metabolic bone disease and encourages natural feeding and breeding behaviours.
Simple Vivarium Installation
Unlike complex setups from other brands, our kit is designed for absolute beginners. The slimline fixture can be easily screwed directly into the ceiling of any wooden vivarium. Simply mount the clips, snap in the fixture, and plug the UK 3-pin cable into your timer or mains. It is the perfect uva uvb vivarium light for straightforward, dependable daily use.

Customer Reviews
Absolutely brilliant bit of kit. I was so confused trying to figure out which Arcadia ballast matched which tube for my son's new bearded dragon setup. This complete 18 inch reptile light fixture took all the headache away. Plugged in and working perfectly.
Bought this tortoise uvb lamp for my Hermann's tortoise table. The mounting clips were really easy to screw into the wood, and the light output is fantastic. Delivery was super quick too, arrived the next morning.
As an exotics vet, I see far too many cases of MBD due to poor lighting. I highly recommend complete kits like this to my clients because it removes the barrier to entry. The 10.0 output on this 15w uvb tube light is exactly what desert species require.
The light itself is great and my beardie seems much more active since I installed it. My only minor gripe is that the 1.5m cable was just a tiny bit short for where my plug socket is, so I had to use an extension lead. Otherwise, a solid terrarium uvb lighting kit.
Used Exo Terra for years but got fed up with the price of their canopies. This t8 reptile uvb light kit is half the price and does exactly the same job. The electronic ballast means there's no annoying flickering when you turn it on either.
Good quality lizard vivarium light. Instructions were clear and it fits nicely into my 3ft setup. Would love to see a version with a built-in reflector in the future, but for the price, you really can't complain.
Superb value for money. Getting the fixture AND the 10.0 uvb reptile lamp together saves so much hassle. It's been running for 3 months now without a hitch. Will definitely be buying my replacement tubes from GlowUp.
