The correct lighting of the terrarium is one of the most important prerequisites for the successful keeping and breeding of terrarium animals. The change-warm animals are strongly dependent on light. It stimulates reproduction and the natural behavior resting phases, digestion, food intake and activity depend on the intensity of light. It is imperative that the lighting be adapted to the needs of the animals. Terrarium inhabitants whose natural habitat is deserts continuously need a lot of UV light. Rainforest animals living in treetops or on the banks of rivers need little or no UV light. The need for UV light is therefore an important criterion when selecting terrarium lighting. As basic lighting for terrariums, lamps that emit a high proportion of UV light, lamps with low UV emission and models without UV emission are available

When choosing lighting for the terrarium, it is essential to ensure that the composition is as similar as possible to natural daylight. Relevant comparison variables are colour rendering and colour temperature. The colour temperature is given in Kelvin (K). Cold white light with a higher proportion of violet, blue and green has a higher Kelvin value. In warm light with larger amounts of red and orange, the Kelvin value is lower. The Kelvin value of daylight varies between 4500 K and 6500 K. Colour rendering is measured using the Ra index on a scale with values from 0 to 100. The higher the Ra value, the better the colour rendering. The luminous flux is measured in lm (lumen). This information is required to measure luminous efficacy per watt in lumens and illuminance in lux. Illuminance is the luminous flux per square metre
For most terrarium animals, daily lighting for 12 to 14 hours is sufficient. It is not only the duration of the lighting that is important, but also the fact that the lighting is in keeping with both the summer-winter rhythm and the day-night rhythm of the area from which the animals originated. Animals, whose home is the area around the equator, are constantly illuminated for 12 hours per day. Living beings from local latitudes, on the other hand, must be illuminated 16 to 17 hours a day in summer and 8 to 9 hours a day in winter
Lighting for terrariums are offered in the following variants:
– Sunlight Reflector Lamps- High Pressure Mercury Vapor Lamps- Moonlight Simulation- Spotlighting- Fluorescent Tubes
Sunlight reflector spotlights, such as the Sunlight model from Hobby, are suitable for basic lighting. They imitate daylight with a full 4-colour spectrum
They are used as basic lighting in at least 80 cm high terrariums. They give off a high yield of bright, white light. Unlike a fluorescent tube, this variant also emits a lot of heat. They must therefore be operated in a ceramic socket. They must also be placed at a sufficient distance from the terrarium animals
This version simulates the moonlight. A moonlight simulation is the perfect lighting for terrariums where nocturnal animals live. These lamps emit only minimal heat and are therefore recommended for amphibian husbandry.
