Review: Good quality D3 bulb - Bought as a replacement light for my tortoises, it's been a year and the bulb needs replaced every 12 months. I use a non light emitting ceramic heater bulb and use this for their light that way I can switch the Arcadia D3 light off at night but leave the ceramicheat bulb on. Didn't realise how much it had dimmed my old bulb seemsso bright when new bulb. Pricey bulb but they all cost around the same price whatever brand but it's necessary for torts to have a D3 light for their shells health. I trust Arcadia brand. Their lamps and the lamp for the ceramic heat bulb lasts well Sent by seller in a secure cardboard poster tube which is great turned up intact. Will upload a pic

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I still haven’t received my bulb as yet it’s already 2 days late**
A: You need to direct that question to whoever you seller was.

**Q: Is this just the bulb or the whole mechanism**
A: Just the T5 bulb,Come in 22-34-46 Inch lengths depending on your Viv Size,I find its better to position the tube at an angle i.e. ( front left to rear right,or front right to rear left ),Think this gives better UV distribution.
