Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp 100W – Reptile Heat Lamp
The Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp 100W is designed to provide a concentrated source of heat and visible light for reptile basking areas.
Its patented double-reflector design focuses 35% more heat and light into a tight beam, helping create a defined basking area where reptiles can move closer to or further away from the heat source to regulate their body temperature.
Key Features

- Provides concentrated heat and visible light
- Patented double-reflector design

Creates a Concentrated Basking Area
Reptiles rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. A basking lamp allows a warmer area to be established within the enclosure while maintaining cooler areas elsewhere.
The Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp uses a focused beam rather than distributing heat evenly throughout the enclosure, making it particularly useful for establishing a dedicated basking zone.
Suitable For
The 100W Repti Basking Spot Lamp can be suitable for a variety of diurnal basking reptiles, including many tropical and desert species.
The correct wattage depends on factors including:
- Enclosure size and height
- Distance between the lamp and basking area
- Required basking temperature
- Room temperature
- Ventilation
- Reptile species
Always monitor temperatures using an appropriate reptile thermometer and adjust the heating setup as required.
Important – This Is Not a UVB Lamp
The Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp does not provide the UVB lighting required by reptiles that need UVB exposure.
For reptiles requiring UVB, this basking lamp should be used alongside a suitable reptile UVB light rather than as a replacement for one. The existing product information specifically identifies this globe as non-UVB.
