The Arcadia Halogen Basking Spot 75W is ideal for medium-sized wooden or glass terrariums. It utilizes advanced halogen technology to produce a rich flood of Infrared-A and Infrared-B, which mimics the sun's natural energy. This deep-penetrating heat warms the animal from the inside out, supporting vital biological processes such as digestion, muscle relaxation, and immune system health.
Unlike standard household bulbs, the Arcadia 75W Halogen is engineered to be much more efficient, producing a higher heat output and a brighter, whiter light per watt. This means you can achieve the necessary basking temperatures for species like Bearded Dragons, Blue Tongue Skinks, or various monitor lizards while consuming less electricity. The built-in parabolic reflector ensures that the heat and light are directed downward in a focused beam, creating a distinct thermal gradient that allows your pet to move between the warm basking zone and the cooler areas of the enclosure as needed.
This lamp features a standard E27 screw fitting, making it compatible with most high-quality ceramic lamp holders. To ensure the safety of your reptile and the longevity of the bulb, it should always be used with a dedicated dimming thermostat. This allows the lamp to fluctuate its power output smoothly to maintain a constant temperature without the stressful "flashing" effect caused by cheaper on/off thermostats. Furthermore, the high-color rendering of the halogen gas ensures that your reptile's natural colors appear vivid and lifelike, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your habitat.
For maintenance and safety, it is important to remember that this bulb becomes extremely hot during operation and should always be housed behind a protective lamp guard to prevent accidental burns. When installing the 75W Halogen, avoid touching the glass with bare skin, as natural oils can create hot spots that lead to premature failure. With an expected lifespan of up to 3,000 hours, this lamp provides a long-lasting and reliable heat source that remains far superior to traditional incandescent or ceramic alternatives.
