JBL launches the first T5 terrarium tube with 63 % UV

Now, T5 fluorescent tube technology is finally available for reptiles, too! With the JBL SOLAR REPTIL SUN ULTRA T5 , JBL is launching the first T5 tube on the market. Double the light efficiency compared to T8 tubes is typical for the T5 tubes.

JBL’s scientists attached special importance to high UV emissions when developing this special tube. They were thus able to achieve a high UV-A concentration of 63 % (75 % higher than in T8!) and 12 % UV-B (50 % higher than T8). The visible light spectrum again meets the requirements for a full spectrum i.e. it has no gaps so that it contains all of the spectral ranges, equivalent to sunlight. The indicated useful life is one year.

The new JBL Solar ReptilSun ULTRA is recommended for all terrarium animals which get lots of direct sunlight in their natural habitat such as diurnal desert animals or rainforest animals that live in treetops or at the edge of water bodies.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
