Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot – 50 Watt – S20

 

The Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot lamp with a 50 Watt output is designed specifically for creating a basking spot for reptiles, such as lizards and turtles, in captivity. Here are some key features and points about this product:

 

Basking Spot Lamp: The Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot lamp is designed to create a concentrated basking spot for reptiles. This allows them to regulate their body temperature effectively, as they can move closer or farther away from the lamp as needed.

Tight Beam: The lamp produces a tight beam of light that can be directed precisely onto a specific area, simulating a natural basking site.

Increased Heat and Light: The lamp is designed to provide a 35% increase in both heat and light intensity within the beam. This increased output allows for greater distances between the lamp and the basking site while still providing sufficient heat and light.

UVA Light: The lamp emits UVA (ultraviolet A) light, which is beneficial for reptiles’ physiological well-being. UVA rays are known to stimulate certain behaviors in reptiles, including breeding behavior.

Thermoregulation: The lamp’s basking area helps reptiles regulate their body temperature. They can bask under the lamp to warm up and then move away to cool down, mimicking their natural behavior in the wild.

Ambient Temperature: In addition to creating a basking spot, the lamp also contributes to raising the ambient air temperature in the enclosure, creating a warmer microclimate for the reptile.

Breeding Behavior: The UVA rays emitted by the lamp can stimulate breeding behavior in reptiles, encouraging natural reproductive cycles.

Day-Night Cycle: The lamp can be combined with other types of bulbs, such as Night Glo or Heat Glo, to create a 24-hour light cycle that mimics natural lighting conditions.

Compatibility: The Exo Terra Glow Light (PT2052 / PT2054 / PT2056) is recommended for use with the Exo Terra Incandescent Bulbs, making it a suitable combination for the Intense Basking Spot lamp.

 

Overall, the Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot lamp is designed to provide reptiles with a focused basking area, increased heat and light intensity, and UVA rays to support their well-being and natural behaviors. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations when using this lamp to ensure the health and safety of your reptile pets.
