Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp – 50 Watt – R20

 

The Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp is a specialized lighting product designed for use in reptile terrariums. It provides a broad-spectrum daylight illumination that is beneficial for both plants and reptiles. Here are some key features and benefits of the lamp:

 

Broad-Spectrum Daylight: The lamp emits a wide range of visible light wavelengths, similar to natural sunlight. This spectrum is important for supporting photosynthesis in plants and providing a natural lighting environment for reptiles.

Neodymium Sleeve: The lamp includes a Neodymium sleeve, which helps enhance the color of the light emitted. This can make the terrarium appear more vibrant and natural.

Basking Area Creation: The lamp’s design allows you to focus the heat and light in a specific direction, creating a designated basking area within the terrarium. This basking area helps reptiles regulate their body temperature by providing a warm spot to rest under.

Thermoregulation: The lamp’s heat output increases the overall ambient air temperature in the terrarium. This is important for reptiles that require specific temperature gradients within their habitat to properly regulate their body temperature.

UVA Light: The lamp emits UVA rays, which are a component of ultraviolet light. UVA light is beneficial for reptiles’ physiological well-being. It can stimulate natural behaviors, such as feeding and breeding, and also contributes to their overall health.

Breeding Stimulation: The presence of UVA rays in the lamp’s spectrum can encourage reptiles to exhibit breeding behaviors, making it particularly useful for reptile breeding setups.

Day-Night Cycle: The lamp can be used in combination with other lighting products, such as the Night Glo or Heat Glo bulbs, to create a 24-hour lighting cycle that mimics natural day and night conditions in the terrarium.

Compatibility: The Exo Terra Glow Light is recommended for use with the Exo Terra Incandescent Bulbs, providing a suitable fixture to house and secure the lamp.

 

Overall, the Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp is designed to replicate natural daylight conditions in reptile terrariums, providing the necessary light and heat for reptiles’ well-being, plant growth, and behavior stimulation. Always make sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations for proper usage and safety.
