Setup & Use
Install in a heat-resistant reptile fixture with a suitable ceramic E27 socket, rated for the bulb. Position it to create a basking area while allowing your reptile access to cooler parts of the enclosure.
Check basking and enclosure temperatures rather than choosing a bulb by wattage alone. The temperature achieved depends on the enclosure, ventilation, room temperature and distance from the lamp. Prevent your animal from touching the bulb and follow the fixture’s installation instructions.
Simply Fish Recommendation
Choose this lamp for daytime basking, with separate UVB lighting where your species requires it. Measure temperatures carefully when replacing a different bulb, even if its stated equivalent wattage is the same.
FAQs
Is this a 72W or 100W bulb?
Its actual power consumption is 72W. The 100W figure is Reptile One’s comparison with a conventional incandescent lamp.
What fitting does it use?
It has an E27 screw fitting. Your fixture must also be heat-resistant and rated for the lamp.
Does it replace a UVB bulb?
No. It provides basking heat, visible light and UVA. Use suitable separate UVB lighting where required.
Can I leave it on overnight?
This is a daylight lamp intended for daytime use. If overnight heating is needed, choose a suitable heat source that does not illuminate the enclosure.
What size terrarium will it heat?
There is no single terrarium size rating. Its suitability depends on your reptile’s temperature requirements and the enclosure’s conditions.
