Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot – 75 Watt – S20

The Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot is a specialized lamp designed to provide a concentrated basking spot for reptiles. This lamp emits a tight beam of heat and light that can be directed precisely onto a specific area within the enclosure to create a designated basking site for reptiles. The key features of this lamp include:

Increased Light and Heat: The Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot lamp is designed to increase the intensity of both heat and light in the focused beam by 35% compared to regular basking lamps. This is particularly useful for reptiles that require higher temperatures for thermoregulation.

Basking Area Creation: By emitting a concentrated beam of heat and light, the lamp helps create a distinct basking area within the enclosure. This allows reptiles to effectively regulate their body temperature by moving closer to or farther away from the basking spot as needed.

Ambient Air Temperature Increase: The intense basking spot lamp not only provides a localized basking area but also contributes to raising the overall ambient air temperature in the enclosure. This is beneficial for maintaining the appropriate temperature gradient within the habitat.

Stimulation of Breeding Behavior: The UVA (ultraviolet A) light emitted by the lamp is known to have positive effects on reptile behavior and well-being. It can stimulate natural behaviors, including breeding behavior, and contribute to the overall physiological health of reptiles.

24-Hour Cycle: The Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot lamp can be used in combination with other types of lamps, such as Night Glo or Heat Glo, to create a 24-hour light cycle within the reptile enclosure. This can mimic natural lighting conditions and support the reptiles’ day-night rhythms.

Compatibility: The lamp is designed to be used with the Exo Terra Glow Light (PT2052 / PT2054 / PT2056), which is a suitable fixture for housing the Exo Terra Incandescent Bulbs.

Overall, the Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot lamp is a specialized lighting option for reptile enclosures, providing enhanced heat and light intensity for basking areas and contributing to the well-being of reptiles by promoting natural behaviors and temperature regulation.
