Reptile One Daylight Halogen Heat Lamp 28W – E27

Provide daytime basking warmth and light with the Reptile One Daylight Halogen Heat Lamp 28W. Featuring an E27 screw fitting, this bulb is a practical option for reptile setups requiring a lower-wattage heat source.

Reptile One rates this model as a 40W incandescent equivalent, while its actual power consumption is 28W. This offers a more energy-efficient alternative within the manufacturer’s basking lamp range.

Designed for day-active reptiles, the lamp provides visible light, UVA and heat over a selected basking area. Position it as part of a setup that also provides cooler retreats, allowing your reptile to move between warmer and cooler zones.

Setup & Use

Install in a compatible ceramic E27 lamp holder and heat-resistant fixture rated for the bulb. Follow the supplied installation instructions and required clearances.

Check temperatures at the basking surface and cooler end of the enclosure. The heat achieved depends on lamp distance, ventilation, enclosure design and room temperature. A lower wattage does not automatically make a bulb suitable for every small enclosure.

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

Simply Fish Recommendation

Choose this bulb when your setup needs a lower-powered daytime basking source. Measure the temperatures achieved rather than relying on the equivalent wattage alone. Use suitable temperature control and pair it with separate UVB lighting where required for your species.

FAQs

Is it suitable for a small terrarium?
Suitability depends on your reptile’s needs and the temperatures achieved. Check both the basking area and cooler retreat after installation.
