UVI 3.5 @ 36cm for UVB10.0
Solarmeter 6.5 measured UVI (UVA+UVB) 3.5 for the UVB10.0 strength light at 14" (36cm) distance at full intensity making it suitable for full sun dwellers.
Adjustable UVB Output
The light is fully dimmable using a manual dial type dimmer or smart WiFi/Bluetooth controller so you can fine tune the UVB output by dimming.
Dim to lower UVB, brighten to increase UVB
For example if you dimmed the UVB10.0 to 50%, it would produce UVI 1.9 at 30cm instead of the normal UVI 3.8 when at full intensity, you can use this feature to vitually dial in any UVB level for a given distance.
Does it produce any harmful UVC? Zero UVC!
UVC meter readings show 0.00 in the lab measuring output from a single UVB LED chip at 10cm distance, and a 0.00 reading from the 4-in-1 light at 36cm distance. These quality UVB led chips produce a pure and narrow UVB band with zero UVC emission.

True Colour
The MMLED Reptile UVB 4-in-1 LED has the perfect mix of UVB, UVA1, UVA2, 6500K Cool White and 660nm Deep Red 3W power leds to deliver a vibrant and crisp natural lighting experience for your animal and to make them look their best on display.
The output spectrum simulates natural sunlight in all ways and the added bonus is that live plants grow strong, healthy and thrive under this full spectrum light.
White light from other brands
Most Reptile and Amphibian lights on the market use white light. White light is not at all natural and makes your animal colours appear washed out.
To simulate natural sunlight you need more than just white, the MMLED Reptile UVB 4-in-1 LED has the perfect mix of UVB, UVA1, UVA2, 6500K Cool White and 660nm Deep Red 3W power leds to deliver vibrant and crisp natural lighting to make them look their best on display.
Ferguson Zones
The MMLED Reptile UVB 4-in-1 LED comes in three UVB strengths which roughly equate to the old UVB 10.0/5.0/2.0 UVB output scales.
A renowned herpetologist, Dr. Gary Ferguson measured different reptile’s and amphibian's daily basking sites and exposure times giving a good indication of their natural UV requirements.
These species were divided up into four different sun exposure groups, which are now referred to as Ferguson zones. Each zone was allocated a range of UV figures calculated from the readings.
So which zone is my animal in? There are many articles about this, google to find them. Here's one from the UK ReptileCentre to get you started
How to choose the correct UVB strength
If you're not sure which strength to get, use the following Charts as a guide to selecting the correct model for your animal to deliver the correct UVI to their normal basking area.
- First find out which Ferguson zone you animal is classed at and the basking UVI for that zone
- Then measure the distance the light will be from the normal basking area, approximate will do
- Then select the UVB strength that will deliver the UVI you need to the basking area, does not need to be precise.

UVB + UVA1 + UVA2 + True Colour Daylight
The MMLED Reptile UVB 4-in-1 LED has UVB light to help produce crucial Vitamin D3 and to metabolise Calcium, UVA2 to regulate D3 production, UVA1 for full natural vision and behaviours, and True Colour full spectrum daylight for general vision.
All packaged in one neat and sleek 30cm to 180cm long x 3cm x 2cm sealed fixture ready to plug in and go.
Full Colour Vision Spectrum - wavelength 400nm-700nm
Humans and animals in general all need full spectrum vision light to see and more specifically to see colour. The MMLED True Colour UVB+ 4-in-1 Reptile & Amphibian LED has this and more. More because the unique blend of led colours in this lamp produce a spectrum very close to natural sunlight and with the ability to show off your animal colours beautifully like you've never seen them before.
UVB Spectrum - wavelength 308-315nm
This spectrum is by far the most important because it enables the animal to synthesise Vitamin D3 in the skin and metabolise calcium in their body. Lack of D3 results in metabolic disorders and general health decline. No UVC from this led, the output tapers out to zero ar 304nm.
UVA2 Spectrum - wavelength 320-340nm
Scientific research suggests this narrow band in the UVA range is said to help reptiles and amphibians regulate vitamin D3 production to prevent excess D3 production.
UVA1 Spectrum - wavelength 340-400nm
It is a well established fact that the human eye has 3 receptors for colour vision and that most reptiles and amphibians have an additional fourth receptor specifically for UVA light. This additional visual receptor allows creatures to experience full vision and is also important for stimulation of normal behaviour, including appetite, mental and social behaviour, basking behaviour and Circadian Rhythms.
Rotary Dimmer
A simple manually controlled knob style dimmer with On/Off switch and 0%-100% brightness setting.

UVB + UVA1 + UVA2
The MMLED Reptile UVB UVA LED has UVB light to help produce crucial Vitamin D3 and to metabolise Calcium, UVA2 to regulate D3 production and UVA1 for full natural vision and behaviours.
All packaged in one neat and sleek 30cm to 180cm long x 3cm x 2cm sealed fixture ready to plug in and go.
UVB Spectrum - wavelength 308-315nm
This spectrum is by far the most important because it enables the animal to synthesise Vitamin D3 in the skin and metabolise calcium in their body. Lack of D3 results in metabolic disorders and general health decline. No UVC from this led, the output tapers out to zero ar 304nm.
UVA2 Spectrum - wavelength 320-340nm
Scientific research suggests this narrow band in the UVA range is said to help reptiles and amphibians regulate vitamin D3 production to prevent excess D3 production.
UVA1 Spectrum - wavelength 340-400nm
It is a well established fact that the human eye has 3 receptors for colour vision and that most reptiles and amphibians have an additional fourth receptor specifically for UVA light. This additional visual receptor allows creatures to experience full vision and is also important for stimulation of normal behaviour, including appetite, mental and social behaviour, basking behaviour and Circadian Rhythms.
Rotary Dimmer
A simple manually controlled knob style dimmer with On/Off switch and 0%-100% brightness setting.
Smart Dimmer
Use the free Android/iOS phone app to control your light via Wifi from anywhere or Bluetooth for local use.
The app allows you to turn On or Off and adjust brightness or you can automate these things including Sunrise/Sunset ramping to a daily or weekly schedule.
In addition, smart dimmer features Goggle Home and Alexa integration for advanced automation and voice control.
Fully Enclosed IP64 vs Partially Enclosed
With or without the quartz glass, the lights operate the same and at a low 24V DC. Perfectly safe with or without the quartz glass cover. Consider the Fully enclosed IP64 model if your environment is wet or humid.
The Fully Enclosed MMLED Reptile UVB UVA LED is IP64 rated and suitable for use in humid environments. The quartz glass cover offers wetness protection and is crystal clear allowing 99% UV transmission.
