Product information

Nature as a model
Terrarium animals are cold-blooded animals, which are strongly dependent on light, particularly on the quality and intensity of the light. Activity, food intake, digestion or rest phases are influenced by the change of day and night and the intensity of light. Depending on the light source, there are differences in output and quality of the light.


The right light for your terrarium
For UV- terrarium animals, in need of UV light, it is important to think about the UV supply and at the same time about the animals' need for warmth. If the UV-emitting lamp produces heat (e.g. JBL UV-Spot plus, JBL RetilDesert L-U-W Light alu), the temperature in the terrarium will also drop in the evening when the lighting is switched off. If this is not desired, heat must be supplied separately, e.g. via a heating mat (JBL TerraTemp heatmat). Energy-saving lamps such as the JBL ReptilDesert UV-Light produce hardly any heat and are therefore ideal for animals that require little heat or they need to be supplemented by a heating mat for heat generation. The advantage of separating heat and UV production is that the night temperature can be set precisely.

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.
