Made For Reptiles - UV Lamps
Victory’s Made for Reptile UV range offers the perfect balance of UVB and UVA output to ensure an optimum environment.
UVA aids general health, appetite and mating instincts. UVB aids bone health, and in some cases has been proven to reduce metabolic bone disease.
The amount of UVB that reptiles need depends on the natural environment that they come from. Made For Reptiles UV lamps therefore emit a mixture of UVA, and a choice of two UVB strengths — 5% and 10% — to suit different species.
Victory Lighting is a manufacturer of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) lighting and heating products.
Made For Reptiles is a range of herpetological light and heat products for use in vivariums, developed by Victory to provide the correct combination of heat and light to suit a wide range of captive reptile species, recreating as far as possible the animals natural environment.
Natural Light & Warmth
Captive reptiles require sufficiently large species specific micro habitats that must replicate their natural habitat in order to maintain good health.
Sunlight, heat, UVB gradients, shelter and basking areas are all required to help achieve this. Victory's Made for Reptiles range has been created to help meet these needs.
The range incorporates both UV & infrared products to provide natural light & warmth.
Healthy Reptiles Need
- Healthy diet and environment

Benefits of Victory's UV Lamps
Reptiles require both UVA & UVB light to remain healthy.
UVA light helps to regulate reptiles’ behaviours such as feeding, circadian rhythm, mating instincts & similar activities.
UVB light allows the synthesis of vitamin D3, which helps to absorb calcium. This aids good bone health.
UVB lamps should be used during the day and turned off at night, this helps to mimic the reptiles’ natural habitat, where sunlight provides the UVB they require.
Our Made for Reptiles range emits both UVA and a choice of two UVB strengths, 5% or 10% to suit different species subject to their individual requirements.
Our lamps provide high output, which makes them highly efficient while being low on energy consumption. They also have good colour rendering, allowing you to see your reptiles in their true colours.
