Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp – 150 Watt – R30

The Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp is a specialized lighting fixture designed for use in reptile terrariums. It is specifically crafted to provide the necessary light and heat for reptiles, as well as support plant growth within the terrarium. Here are some key features and benefits of the lamp:

Broad-Spectrum Daylight: The lamp emits broad-spectrum daylight, simulating natural sunlight. This type of light is essential for supporting photosynthesis in plants within the terrarium. It also offers a more natural lighting environment for the reptiles, which can have positive effects on their behavior and well-being.

Neodymium Sleeve: The lamp is equipped with a Neodymium sleeve, which can enhance the appearance of the light by creating a warm, natural glow. This can also contribute to the overall aesthetics of the terrarium.

Thermoregulation and Basking: The lamp produces both heat and light, making it ideal for creating specific basking areas within the terrarium. Reptiles, especially cold-blooded species, require external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. The basking spot lamp allows reptiles to thermoregulate by moving between warmer basking areas and cooler areas in the terrarium.

Ambient Air Temperature: The lamp’s heat emission increases the overall temperature within the terrarium, creating a more suitable environment for reptiles that require higher temperatures.

UVA Rays: The lamp emits UVA rays, which are part of the ultraviolet spectrum. UVA rays are beneficial for reptiles’ physiological well-being. They can stimulate natural behaviors, encourage breeding behavior, and contribute to the reptiles’ overall health.

Day-Night Cycle: The lamp can be used in conjunction with other types of lighting, such as Night Glo or Heat Glo bulbs, to establish a day-night cycle within the terrarium. This mimics the natural light patterns in the reptiles’ native habitats.

Compatibility: The Exo Terra Glow Light is recommended for use with the Exo Terra Incandescent Bulbs, including the Daylight Basking Spot Lamp. This fixture is designed to securely hold and position the bulb, ensuring proper illumination and heat distribution within the terrarium.

In summary, the Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp is a versatile lighting solution for reptile terrariums. It addresses both the lighting and heating needs of reptiles and plants, contributing to their well-being and creating a more natural and appealing habitat.
