• Wattage: 100W

Using a 12° spot

With its narrow 12° beam, this 100W lamp throws its heat onto a small, intense basking spot rather than warming a wide area. That suits sun-loving desert reptiles in larger or taller terrariums, where the lamp hangs well above a basking rock, but it can overheat a small enclosure. Aim the beam at a flat stone so the animal can bask with its whole body, and check the surface temperature with a digital or infrared thermometer before adding animals. Mount the lamp behind a mesh guard or out of reach of climbing animals, and control it with a dimming thermostat or timer for a steady day cycle.

Good to know

Use the lamp in a suitable ceramic fitting, ideally with a thermostat or dimmer, and keep it out of the animals’ reach.
