Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp 60W – Reptile Heat Lamp
The Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp 60W provides a concentrated source of heat and visible light to help establish a defined basking area within your reptile enclosure.
Zoo Med's patented double-reflector design focuses 35% more heat and light into a tight beam, directing warmth towards the basking area rather than spreading it broadly throughout the enclosure.

Concentrated Basking Heat
Reptiles rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. Providing a dedicated basking area allows the reptile to move between warmer and cooler areas of the enclosure as required.
The focused beam of the Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp makes it particularly useful for directing heat towards a specific basking platform, branch, rock or other suitable basking location.
Why Choose the 60W Lamp?
The 60W version provides a lower heat output than higher-wattage basking lamps and may be appropriate where less heat is required.
The correct lamp wattage will depend on:
- Enclosure size and height
- Distance between the lamp and basking area
- Required basking temperature
- Reptile species
- Room temperature
- Enclosure ventilation
Always measure the actual basking temperature rather than selecting a globe based solely on enclosure size.
Important – This Is Not a UVB Lamp
The Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp is a heat and visible-light lamp and should not be used as a replacement for 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 60W Basking Spot Lamp produce heat?
Yes. It is designed to concentrate heat and visible light into a defined reptile basking area.
Does this lamp provide UVB?
No. This is not a UVB lamp. Reptiles requiring UVB need a separate appropriate UVB light.
What is the difference between the 60W and 100W versions?
The main difference is wattage and resulting heat output. The 60W version is useful where a lower heat output is required, while the 100W version provides greater heating potential.
Can I use it for tropical and desert reptiles?
Yes, it can be used for appropriate tropical and desert basking species, provided the lamp produces the correct basking temperature for that particular reptile.
How do I know if 60W is enough?
Use an appropriate thermometer to measure the temperature at the basking area. Required temperatures vary considerably between reptile species and enclosure setups.
