Moonlight 50W – night-time heating bulb

This E27 bulb is intended for keepers of turtles, chameleons, snakes and other desert or tropical reptiles who need a heat source that does not light up the enclosure at night. It produces a deep purple glow with very little visible light, so the animal's rest is not disrupted while the terrarium stays observable after dark.

Why it matters

• Minimal visible light: the bulb emits only a small amount of visible light, so the enclosure can be watched at night without stressing the animal.
• Infrared heat output: a large beam of infrared radiation delivers a substantial amount of heat to the basking or hot zone.
• No UVA or UVB: the bulb emits neither UVA nor UVB, which makes it suitable for both day-active and nocturnal species.
• Mixed heat profile: the manufacturer describes the bulb as combining a night spot heat, infrared and general night heat in roughly 30/30/40 proportions, which is intended to replace several separate bulbs with one.

What it works with

The bulb is compatible with all thermostats and dimmers (dimming controllers). The manufacturer specifically recommends the Komodo dimming thermostat, the Terrario ReptiSun lamp with clip and regulation, the Ringder THC and AC, and the Repti-Zoo THC in all series. Pairing it with a dimmer lets you adjust heat output to the size of the enclosure and the needs of the species.
