100W UVA halogen heater

This compact halogen spotlight is designed for terrarium keepers who need heat, visible light and UVA from a single fitting. It suits enclosures where a basking spot must reach a specific temperature while the animal also receives UVA, which many keepers otherwise have to supply with a separate lamp.

Why it matters

• Combined output: One E27 lamp provides heat, visible light and UVA, so the basking area and the UVA source can be set up in one position.
• Heat distribution: According to the manufacturer's figures, the thick, light-tight halogen wall directs the output in one direction, creating a temperature gradient across the enclosure so the animal can choose its preferred spot.
• UVA spectrum: The stated emission range of 320-400 nm is intended to resemble natural sunlight, and the visible light is described as mimicking daylight.
• Energy use: The supplier states 50-75% more heat than standard bulbs at the same power draw, with a longer service life than conventional lamps.

What it works with

The lamp fits reptile and bird enclosures where heat and UVA are needed from the same fixture. The temperature readings above show the range it covers, from a hot basking zone at close distance to a milder area at 90 cm, so the mounting height should be chosen to match the species' requirements. It fits the E27 socket in standard terrarium lighting fixtures and runs on regular 230 V mains.
