75W UVA heating halogen lamp

This compact halogen lamp is built for reptile terrariums and combines heat, visible light and UVA radiation in one bulb. It is intended for keepers who want a basking spot that supplies warmth and UVA without a separate heater and UV tube.

Why it matters

• Halogen construction: the supplier states up to 75% to 50% more heat output than standard bulbs at the same power draw, along with a longer service life.
• Directed heat: the thick, light-tight glass wall directs the output in one direction, creating temperature differences within the enclosure so the animal can choose its position.
• UVA emission: the spectrum covers 320–400 nm, which the supplier describes as close to natural sunlight, and the visible light is said to resemble daylight.
• Diffused front lens: the front glass spreads the light into a warm glow that can be aimed as needed.

Specifications

• Power: 75 W
• Voltage: 230 V
• Base: E27
• Ballast: not required

What it works with

The lamp fits any standard E27 fitting and runs directly from mains voltage, so it can replace a conventional bulb in a reptile enclosure's heating setup. The temperature table allows the keeper to place the lamp above the basking area and check the gradient across the enclosure, from the hot spot at close range to about 32°C at 90 cm.
