75W ceramic heat emitter

This ceramic heat emitter suits keepers who need supplemental heat in terrariums for nocturnal reptiles or species that do not tolerate bright light. Its ceramic body is suited to humid enclosures, where it resists corrosion and moisture and holds up better to rapid temperature changes than a glass bulb.

Why it matters

• The ceramic shell resists moisture and corrosion, and it does not crack from fast temperature swings the way a glass bulb can.
• In humid conditions the emitter burns out less readily than conventional heat bulbs.
• It converts most of its energy into heat and infrared radiation, which warms the animal's skin and underlying tissue.
• The bell-shaped housing concentrates heat and infrared into a focused warm spot, creating a heat island within the enclosure.
• Rated life is over 10,000 hours, and the standard E27 base fits most common bulb fixtures.

What it works with

The emitter is designed for reptile and amphibian terrariums that require ceramic heat sources, particularly humid enclosures and setups for nocturnal animals. Its heat output figures at distances from 15 cm to 90 cm help determine where to position the emitter relative to basking or warm zones. Confirm that the fixture and thermostat or controller you plan to use are rated for 75 W and an E27 base.
