Send your terrarium animals to the tanning salon

A lot of terrarium animals thirst for the sun and, in addition to the heat, need the UV radiation found in sunlight. And while there are many terrarium lamps which promise UV, very few actually deliver it. It is true that such products as special fluorescent tubes for desert animals emit UV radiation, but unfortunately this is rarely in a sufficient amount and with increasing distance between animal and tube it decreases significantly. Thus, the UVA value of a JBL Solar T8 tube (30 W) for desert animals with 0.12 mW/cm2 at a 30 cm distance is equal to that of a JBL UV spotlight (100 W) at a distance of 70 cm. From a distance of 50 cm the UVB value is NO LONGER measurable!

A good UV spotlight, such as the JBL UV-Spot plus (100 W) continues to provide three times the UVB quantity at a distance of 100 cm, as a good tube at a distance of 20 cm. IF there is a pane of glass between the lamp and the animal, this halves all the UV values, because glass absorbs 50% of the UV radiation (JBL measurements at the University of Ulm).

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.
