Direct your reptile lamp’s heat and light towards a chosen basking area with the Reptile One Dome Reflector Heat Lamp Holder 50W. Featuring a reflective metal dome and heat-resistant ceramic E27 socket, this compact fitting accommodates compatible bulbs up to 50W.
The reflector helps focus your chosen bulb’s output towards the intended area of the enclosure. Its 15cm dome diameter offers a compact option for setups where a lower-wattage lamp provides the required conditions.
The ceramic component is the bulb socket, while the surrounding dome is metal. Choose the fixture and bulb together, checking both wattage and physical fit before installation.

Setup & Use
Install the holder securely according to the supplied instructions. Use a compatible E27 bulb that fits within the fixture and does not exceed its 50W maximum rating.
Follow the clearance requirements for both the bulb and fixture. Position the lamp to achieve suitable conditions while maintaining cooler retreats within the enclosure.
For heating applications, check temperatures at the basking surface and cooler end after installation. For UVB applications, follow the specific bulb’s placement guidance rather than relying on wattage alone.
The dome and bulb can become hot. Prevent your animal from contacting either component, using a suitable guard where required. Switch off and unplug the fixture, then allow it to cool fully before handling.
Simply Fish Recommendation
A practical compact holder when your chosen lamp is rated at 50W or less. Check bulb compatibility and dimensions as well as wattage. If your setup requires a more powerful heat source, choose a higher-rated holder rather than exceeding this fixture’s limit.
FAQs
Is this a heat bulb or a holder?
It is a lamp holder with a reflector. Its heat and light output depend on the bulb installed.
Can I use a 50W bulb?
Yes, provided it is compatible with the fixture and fits correctly. Do not exceed 50W.
Can it take a 100W bulb?
No. Choose a holder rated for at least 100W instead.
Is the whole fitting ceramic?
No. It has a ceramic E27 socket inside a metal reflector dome.
Does the dome replace a protective guard?
No. Depending on installation, hot surfaces and the bulb may remain accessible. Prevent your animal from touching them.
