Exo Terra Sun Glo Halogen Spot – 35 Watt

 

The Exo Terra Sun Glo Halogen Spot – 35 Watt is a type of bulb designed for reptile habitats. This bulb is designed to emit a broad-spectrum halogen light that replicates natural daylight and provides various benefits for reptiles. Here are some key features and benefits of the Exo Terra Sun Glo Halogen Spot – 35 Watt:

 

Broad-Spectrum Light: The bulb emits a more natural light similar to daylight, which is beneficial for the overall well-being of reptiles. This type of light is important for their activity levels, feeding, and general behavior.

UVA Rays: Halogen bulbs emit higher levels of UVA rays, which contribute to the physiological well-being of reptiles. UVA rays are important for behaviors like basking and maintaining natural circadian rhythms.

Infrared Penetration: The bulb offers increased levels of infrared penetration, which is important for reptiles’ thermoregulation. This helps them regulate their body temperature effectively.

Extended Lifespan: The halogen bulb technology used in the Exo Terra Sun Glo bulb extends its lifespan compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. This is achieved by a chemical reaction involving a halogen gas (methyl bromide) that redeposits evaporated tungsten back onto the filament.

Whiter Light and Efficiency: The higher temperatures of halogen lighting result in a whiter light with increased light output and greater efficiency compared to standard incandescent bulbs.

Energy Efficient: The bulb is highly energy-efficient, which is important for maintaining a suitable habitat for reptiles without consuming excessive energy.

Color Temperature: The bulb has a color temperature of 4750 K, which closely mimics natural daylight and enhances the appearance of animal coloration.

Stimulates Breeding Behavior: The UVA rays emitted by the bulb can stimulate breeding behavior in certain reptile species, contributing to their reproductive health.

Compatible with Exo Terra Products: The Halogen Glow Light (PT2050) and the Dual Top canopies (PT2230 / PT2232 / PT2233) are recommended accessories that work well with the Exo Terra Sun Glo Halogen Spot.

 

Overall, the Exo Terra Sun Glo Halogen Spot – 35 Watt is designed to provide a suitable light source for reptile habitats, offering benefits for their health, behavior, and overall well-being. Make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines when using this bulb in your reptile enclosure.
