Powerful, Concentrated Basking Heat

Reptiles rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. Providing a dedicated basking area allows reptiles to move between warmer and cooler areas of their enclosure as required.

The focused beam of the Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp directs heat towards a specific basking platform, branch, rock or other suitable basking location.

Why Choose the 150W Lamp?

The 150W version provides greater heating potential than the lower-wattage 40W, 60W and 100W models, making it suitable for setups where a higher-output basking lamp is required.

The correct wattage depends on:

• Enclosure size and height
• Distance between the lamp and basking area
• Required basking temperature
• Reptile species
• Room temperature
• Enclosure ventilation

Because 150W is a powerful heat source, always measure the temperature at the actual basking position with an appropriate thermometer.

Important – This Is Not a UVB Lamp

The Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp provides heat and visible light but does not replace UVB lighting.

Reptiles requiring UVB exposure will need an appropriate reptile UVB lamp in addition to their basking heat source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Zoo Med 150W Basking Spot Lamp produce heat?
Yes. It is a high-output basking lamp designed to direct concentrated heat and visible light towards a reptile basking area.

Does this lamp provide UVB?
No. The Repti Basking Spot Lamp is not a UVB lamp. Reptiles requiring UVB need a separate appropriate UVB light.

What is the difference between the 40W, 60W, 100W and 150W versions?
The primary difference is wattage and heating potential. The 150W is the highest-output option of these four, while lower wattages are available where less heating is required.

Is 150W suitable for every enclosure?
No. A 150W globe can produce substantial heat. Suitability depends on enclosure dimensions, lamp distance, ventilation, ambient temperature and the basking temperature required by your reptile.

How do I know if 150W is suitable?
Measure the temperature at the actual basking position with an appropriate reptile thermometer. Select the heating setup based on the temperature requirements of the species rather than wattage alone.
