Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp achieves an appropriate basking site for your pets through a combination of bulb shape and the patented double-reflector focus of the beam. Rather than a broad scope of heat flooding the whole habitat, it focuses a beam of infrared down into your pet's habitat on the hot side, allowing your pet to comfortably thermoregulate.

  • - Ideal for regulating terrariums that house either tropical or desert varieties of reptiles and amphibians
  • - Provides heat as well as beneficial UVA rays
  • - Basking bulb promotes breeding, feeding and overall physical and mental health in your pets
  • - Features a unique patented double reflector
  • - Focuses 35% more heat and light into a tight beam for greatest effect
  • - Reptile heat lamp can last up to 2,000 hours

These are the worst bulbs I have ever used. I stopped using them after the would blow after 2-3 weeks but needed a bulb in a pinch so I grabbed 2 in hope they would give me a month to obtain other bulbs. The two together gave me 7hours. The first blew after an hour of use. The second after 6 hours. The store employees were friendly and gave me a refund but I won’t buy this brand again.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Bought on the July 12th and blew out just 2 weeks later. Only running for 11-12 hours a day this light was either absolutely garbage or faulty because it didn’t burn nearly as long as the ads said it would.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I have been using these bulbs for years and to make them last the longest, don’t touch the bulb during installation with your hands and use paper towel or towel cuz the oil from your hands blows the bulbs out faster.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Sort by: Newest Answers

Would 75 watts be good for a leopard gecko in a 25 gallon tank? 

  1. Yes 75 watts is pretty good for a leopard gecko. usually anything above 100 watts is to warm and anything below 75 watts is too cold.



Is it both uva and uvb light?

  1. Nope, just uva. You can find UVB at pretty much any pet store for a good price (I would recommend Petco!)



When buying this product, is it a lamp and bulb, or either or?

  1. Just a bulb, and it doesn't appear that they are offered together.



Would this bulb at 100w be good for my 2 Ball Pythons for heat? And what is a ceramic heat emitter or a mercury vapor bulb?

  1. 1. It depends on what type of enclosure you have, as well as size and other heat sources. I have a 40 gallon fish tank with a heat resistant mesh screen on the top. I use a heat mat on the bottom of the cage under one hide and a 75W bulb on the middle of the top. I also have a 60W night bulb so I can observe him while hes active at night, as well as let him be able to bask at his leisure. If your house is kept comfortably warm in the winter then you should not have to get special 'winter' bulbs, meaning a higher wattage to compensate for the cold air during the season. Also, make sure your lamp states that it is suitable for the type of Wattage you will be using. 2 . A ceramic heat emitter looks somewhat like a light bulb, however does not produce any light. It only gives off heat. 3. A mercury-vapor lamp is a gas discharge lamp that uses an electric arc through vaporized mercury to produce light. The arc discharge is generally confined to a small fused quartz arc tube mounted within a larger borosilicate glass bulb. The outer bulb may be clear or coated with a phosphor; in either case, the outer bulb provides thermal insulation, protection from the ultraviolet radiation the light produces, and a convenient mounting for the fused quartz arc tube. Mercury vapor lamps are more energy efficient than incandescent and most fluorescent lights, with luminous efficacies of 35 to 65 lumens/watt. Their other advantages are a long bulb lifetime in the range of 24,000 hours and a high intensity, clear white light output. For these reasons, they are used for large area overhead lighting, such as in factories, warehouses, and sports arenas as well as for streetlights. Clear mercury lamps produce white light with a bluish-green tint due to mercury's combination of spectral lines. This is not flattering to human skin color, so such lamps are typically not used in retail stores. "Color corrected" mercury bulbs overcome this problem with a phosphor on the inside of the outer bulb that emits white light. They offer better color rendition than the more efficient high or low-pressure sodium vapor lamps.



can light bulbs u use in the house be used for turtles

  1. Yes, but the watt of the bulb needs to be about 60 watts or more depending on the size of your tank. You can use google search to find out the wattage you need.



When using the ZooMed Basking Spot Lamp, can you use it alone, or is it necessary to use with a UVB florescent bulb for more D3?

  1. This light is for heat only. When you have reptiles they always need a UVB light along with this. I would also suggest letting them in natural sunlight for a while during a hot, sunny day.



What kind of lamp does this fit into?

  1. These fit into any lamp but due to the heat it give off it should only be used with a ceramic lamp that is specifically made for heat bulbs.
