Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp – 100 Watt – R25

 

The Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp is a specialized light source designed for reptile terrariums, particularly those housing animals that require basking areas and UV lighting. Here are the key features and benefits of this lamp:

 

Broad-Spectrum Daylight: The lamp emits broad-spectrum daylight, simulating natural sunlight. This spectrum is beneficial for plant photosynthesis within the terrarium.

Neodymium Sleeve: The lamp is equipped with a Neodymium sleeve, which likely enhances the quality of light emitted. Neodymium sleeves can filter out certain wavelengths, providing a more natural and visually appealing light.

Basking Area Creation: The lamp’s design allows you to focus the heat and light in a specific direction. This feature is important for creating basking sites within the terrarium. Many reptiles, especially those from warmer climates, require a basking area where they can thermoregulate by exposing themselves to higher temperatures.

Thermoregulation: By providing a focused basking area, the lamp helps to increase the temperature of the air in that region. This is essential for reptiles to regulate their body temperature effectively.

UVA Contribution: The lamp emits UVA (ultraviolet A) rays, which have been shown to contribute to reptiles’ physiological well-being. UVA rays are important for activities such as feeding, breeding, and overall behavioral stimulation.

Breeding Stimulation: UVA rays are known to play a role in stimulating breeding behavior among reptiles. If you have breeding pairs in your terrarium, the lamp’s UVA component could aid in encouraging reproductive activity.

24-Hour Cycle: The lamp can be used in combination with other lighting sources, such as Night Glo or Heat Glo bulbs, to create a 24-hour light cycle for the terrarium. This can help mimic the natural day-night cycle and support your reptiles’ natural behaviors.

Compatible with Exo Terra Glow Light: The Exo Terra Glow Light is recommended for use with the Exo Terra Incandescent Bulbs, including the Daylight Basking Spot Lamp. This means that the lamp is designed to work effectively with Exo Terra lighting fixtures.

 

In summary, the Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp is a versatile lighting solution for reptile terrariums. It provides the necessary light spectrum for plant growth, helps reptiles thermoregulate through basking, and offers the benefits of UVA radiation for the well-being and behavior of reptile inhabitants. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper usage and maintenance of the lamp in your terrarium setup.
