• The photoperiod (the period of exposure to light each day) varies with species and country of origin.
Tropical species often require a 12-hour day; subtropical and temperate species may require 8-10
hours in winter and 12-14 hours in summer. Check with your retailer or with an established reference
guidebook for your species.
• In large vivaria, use in conjunction with a suitable general reptile lamp (e.g. the Arcadia Natural
Sunlight lamp) for background/ambient lighting away from the basking zone.
OPERATING THE LAMP
• The lamp will take 5 minutes to get to its normal operating condition. While it is 'warming up' the
lamp may appear to flicker or change colour as the different elements in the lamp reach their
operating temperature – this is normal.
• Once lit, if the lamp is turned off (even briefly) it must cool down before it will re-light. If the power
remains switched on, it will re-ignite spontaneously as soon as it is cool enough. This can take 10 –
15 minutes; this is normal.
• The lamp is rated for 110-120 Volts AC at 60Hz.; attempting to operate the lamp at a different voltage
or frequency will void the warranty.
• As with all reptile lamps, the amount of UV light emitted by the D3 EVO Basking Lamp will decrease
over time, so it is important to check the UV levels emitted by the lamp periodically to ensure your
animal receives sufficient UVA and UVB exposure. If you do not have access to a UVB meter to
ascertain when the lamp is approaching the end of its useful life, then you should replace the lamp
every 12 months to ensure your animal continues to receive enough UV.
If you believe your lamp is faulty, switch it off and wait for 15 minutes to allow the lamp to cool. Switch
the lamp back on, and if it does not re-light within 5 minutes then the lamp is faulty or has reached the
end of its life. Turn the lamp off and disconnect the plug for the luminaire or fixture, leave the lamp for
15 minutes to cool and then remove the lamp.
END OF LIFE
