Reptile One Daylight Basking Heat Lamp 150W – E27

Create a bright, warm basking area with the Reptile One Daylight Basking Heat Lamp 150W. Designed for daytime use, this reptile heat bulb provides white light and warmth over a selected basking spot.

Positioned above a suitable rock, log or basking platform, this lamp helps establish a warmer area within your reptile’s enclosure. Alongside cooler retreats, this allows your animal to move between different temperatures throughout the day.

The 150W power rating makes this a higher-wattage option within the Reptile One daylight range. Choose it according to your enclosure’s measured heating requirements, rather than enclosure size alone. Its E27 screw fitting suits compatible, appropriately rated reptile lamp holders.

Setup & Use

Install in a suitable ceramic E27 lamp holder and heat-resistant fixture rated for at least 150W. Follow the fixture’s installation instructions and the bulb’s required clearances.

Measure temperatures at the basking surface and cooler end of the enclosure. Lamp distance, room temperature and ventilation affect the heat achieved, so check temperatures carefully after installation or when replacing a different wattage.

Prevent your reptile from touching the bulb or hot fitting. Switch off and unplug the fixture, then allow the bulb to cool fully before handling.

Simply Fish Recommendation

Use the wattage that achieves your reptile’s required temperatures while maintaining a cooler retreat. A more powerful bulb is only useful when the setup needs it. Pair this lamp with suitable temperature control and separate UVB lighting where required for your species.

FAQs

Does this bulb provide both heat and light?
Yes. It produces bright white light and warmth for daytime basking.

Does it replace UVB lighting?
No. Use appropriate separate UVB lighting where your reptile requires it.

What lamp holder does it need?
A compatible ceramic E27 socket and heat-resistant fixture rated for at least 150W.

Will it suit a large terrarium?
Possibly, but enclosure size alone does not determine suitability. Check your animal’s temperature requirements and measure the temperatures achieved.

Can I leave it on overnight?
This is a daytime lamp. If overnight heating is needed, use an appropriate heat source that does not produce visible light.
