The Bright Sun Sets include PRO Ballast, Thermo Socket PRO with plug-in and Bright Sun lighting. Due to a plug connection, socket and ballast can be connected very easily, so you have got a ready for use, high-quality lighting for your vivarium.
The Bright Sun UV Jungle was developed especially for reptiles from tropical and forest regions. It has a slightly lower UV performance than the Bright Sun UV Desert taking the different conditions in the natural habitat of these animals into account. Branches and leaves filter quite a lot of UV, so the animals do not experience the full intensity of the sun. In addition it has to be considered that arboreal animals will usually be able to get quite close to a lamp inside a vivarium. Since UV radiation is potentially dangerous and the UV intensity is at 10 cm distance 5 times higher than at 30 cm, we have consciously reduced the UV output.
The spectrum was adapted to the natural conditions of forest regions. With 4000K the colour temperature is warmer than the daylight of the Bright Sun UV Desert. Tests have shown that tropical lizards like water dragons prefer the warmer light of the Bright Sun UV Jungle over the daylight of the Bright Sun UV Desert.
The warmer light of the Bright Sun UV Jungle will also promote the colours of plants causing a nice forest ambiance inside the vivarium.
The Bright Control PRO is an electronic ballast designed for optimal use with 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 ballast 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.
