Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp – 75 Watt – R20

The Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp is a specialized light source designed for reptile terrariums. It offers several key features that cater to the needs of reptiles and their environment:

Broad-Spectrum Daylight: The lamp emits broad-spectrum daylight, which is crucial for simulating natural sunlight in the terrarium. This spectrum is beneficial for the photosynthesis of plants within the terrarium, helping them to grow and thrive.

Basking Area Creation: The lamp’s design allows for the creation of basking areas within the terrarium. Reptiles, especially those that are ectothermic (cold-blooded), rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. By directing the heat and light in a certain direction, the lamp helps reptiles find warm spots where they can bask and raise their body temperature to the desired level.

Ambient Air Temperature Increase: The heat emitted by the lamp increases the overall temperature of the terrarium’s air. This is important for maintaining a suitable environment for reptiles that require specific temperature ranges to thrive.

Stimulates Breeding Behavior: The lamp includes UVA rays in its spectrum. UVA light is beneficial for reptiles’ physiological well-being, including stimulating natural behaviors like breeding. UVA light plays a role in encouraging the natural behaviors and activities that reptiles exhibit in their wild habitats.

Day-Night Cycle: The lamp can be used in combination with other light sources, such as Night Glo or Heat Glo bulbs, to create a 24-hour light cycle in the terrarium. This cycle helps replicate the natural day-night patterns that reptiles would experience in their natural habitats.

Compatibility with Exo Terra Glow Light: The Exo Terra Glow Light, which is a separate product, is recommended as a suitable fixture for using the Exo Terra Incandescent Bulbs. This compatibility ensures that the lamp can be securely and effectively used in the terrarium setup.

Overall, the Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp is designed to provide the necessary light and heat conditions for reptiles to thrive in a captive environment. It aims to replicate natural conditions as closely as possible, supporting the reptiles’ well-being and encouraging their natural behaviors.
