Zoo Med Combo Deep Dome Dual Lamp Fixture

The Zoo Med Combo Deep Dome Dual Lamp Fixture is a lighting fixture designed for reptile and amphibian habitats. It’s specifically designed to accommodate multiple types of lamps simultaneously, making it suitable for creating a proper lighting and heating environment for these animals. Here’s a breakdown of its features:

Dual Lamp Capability: The fixture is designed to hold two lamps at once, allowing for various combinations of lighting and heating options. This is particularly useful for providing both UVB light and different types of heat sources.

Lamp Compatibility: The fixture includes two ceramic sockets that can handle lamps with a maximum wattage of 160 watts each. This means you can use a variety of bulbs, including UVB lamps for providing essential ultraviolet light, daytime heat lamps for simulating the sun’s warmth, and nighttime heat lamps for maintaining nighttime temperatures.

Polished Aluminum Dome: The fixture features a polished aluminum dome. Aluminum is chosen for its heat-resistant properties, ensuring that the fixture can handle the heat generated by high-wattage lamps without warping or becoming a safety hazard.

Maximum Light and Heat Output: The polished aluminum dome is designed to maximize the output of both light and heat. This is crucial for creating an environment that mimics the animals’ natural habitat conditions and provides the necessary temperature gradients for their well-being.

Deep Dome Design: The “deep dome” design refers to the shape of the fixture where the dome extends beyond the face of the lamp. This design prevents the lamp from protruding out of the fixture. This is important not only for safety reasons but also to ensure that the lamp is properly positioned within the fixture for optimal heat and light distribution.

Overall, the Zoo Med Combo Deep Dome Dual Lamp Fixture is a versatile and practical solution for providing the necessary lighting and heating elements in a reptile or amphibian enclosure. It allows you to create a balanced environment that supports the health and well-being of your pets by simulating their natural habitat conditions.
