Provide warmth with subdued blue illumination using the Reptile One Night Light Heat Lamp 50W. Featuring an E27 screw fitting, this bulb offers a lower-light alternative to a bright white daylight heat lamp.
Reptile One markets this lamp for night-time heating, with a blue hue intended to create a moonlight-style appearance. It produces visible light, so consider your animal’s lighting requirements before choosing it for overnight use.
The 50W model provides a lower-wattage option within the range. Its suitability depends on the temperatures achieved in your enclosure, including the distance from the lamp, ventilation and room temperature.

Specifications
Setup & Use
Install in a compatible ceramic E27 lamp holder and heat-resistant fixture rated for at least 50W. Follow the supplied installation instructions and required clearances.
Monitor temperatures at your animal’s level and in cooler areas of the enclosure. Use suitable temperature control, and only provide additional overnight heat when your species and room conditions require it.
Prevent contact between your animal and the bulb or hot fitting. Switch off and unplug the fixture before replacing the lamp, allowing it to cool fully first.
Simply Fish Recommendation
Choose overnight heating around both temperature and darkness requirements. If your animal needs warmth while the enclosure remains dark, we recommend a suitable ceramic heat emitter with thermostat control. This night-light bulb is an option where subdued visible illumination is appropriate for the setup.
FAQs
Does this lamp produce light?
Yes. It emits a subdued blue glow alongside heat. It is not a lightless heat source.
Is it suitable for every nocturnal reptile?
Suitability depends on the species and its lighting requirements. Being nocturnal does not automatically mean an animal needs a night light.
What fitting does it use?
It uses an E27 screw fitting. Choose a compatible ceramic holder and heat-resistant fixture rated for at least 50W.
Does it replace a UVB lamp?
No. It should not be used as a substitute for dedicated UVB lighting.
Will 50W keep my enclosure warm enough?
That depends on enclosure design, lamp placement and room temperature. Measure the temperatures achieved rather than relying on wattage alone.
