Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot – 50 Watt – R20

 

The Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot – 50 Watt is a type of heating lamp designed for use in terrariums or enclosures for reptiles and other animals. Here’s a breakdown of the key features and uses of this product:

 

Key Features:

Increased Air Temperature: The bulb is designed to increase the overall air temperature within the terrarium. This is essential for creating a suitable environment for reptiles that require specific temperature ranges to thrive.

Heat for Activity and Digestion: Reptiles are ectothermic, which means they rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. The infrared heat emitted by this bulb provides the necessary warmth for reptiles to remain active and aid in digestion.

Infrared Heat Waves: The bulb emits infrared heat waves, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation. These waves directly heat objects and surfaces within the terrarium, simulating the warmth of the sun.

24-Hour Radiant Heat Source: This bulb can be used as a continuous heat source, providing warmth both during the day and at night. The reddish light it emits does not disrupt the natural activity cycles of the animals, making it suitable for nocturnal creatures as well.

Nocturnal Viewing: The reddish light emitted by the bulb is suitable for observing and viewing nocturnal animals without disturbing their natural behaviors.

Combined Cycle: It can be combined with other types of bulbs like Repti Glo or Sun Glo to create a 24-hour lighting and heating cycle that mimics natural day-night patterns.

Compatible with Exo Terra Glow Light: The Exo Terra Glow Light is recommended for use with the Exo Terra Incandescent Bulbs, including the Infrared Basking Spot. The Glow Light helps direct the light and heat effectively within the terrarium.

 

In summary, the Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot – 50 Watt – R20 is a specialized heating lamp designed to provide infrared heat waves for reptiles and other animals in terrariums. Its unique features make it a versatile heat source suitable for maintaining proper temperatures and observing animals both during the day and at night.
