This 50W E27 basking bulb is intended for keepers who need a concentrated heat source over a basking area in a reptile terrarium. It combines heat output with UVA and infrared emission, so one fitting covers both warmth and light parameters in the enclosure.
Why it matters
- The reflector and lens shape concentrates heat into a localised area, which the manufacturer describes as a 'heat island' across the substrate.
- It emits UVA and infrared radiation, which the manufacturer links to digestion, thermoregulation, feeding response and general activity.
- Because the beam is focused, the bulb can be mounted further from the floor of the enclosure while still delivering usable heat at the surface.
- The stated efficiency is 35% higher than a standard bulb, and the rated service life is 2000 to 3000 hours.

What it works with
The bulb is classed under heating for terrariums, within the heat bulbs and emitters range, and it is designed for a standard E27 socket or lamp holder. The temperature readings by distance suggest mounting it above the basking surface and adjusting height to reach the target temperature, with the rest of the enclosure kept cooler by the falloff shown above. Enclosure size and reptile species are not specified in the product data, so check that the heat output suits your setup before purchase.

The supplier's measurements show over 50°C at 10 cm, 32°C at 20 cm, 28°C at 30 cm, 27°C at 40 cm, 26°C at 50 cm, and 25°C at 60 cm. Temperatures are highest directly under the bulb and fall quickly with distance.
Yes, it emits UVA and infrared radiation. According to the supplier, these support digestion, thermoregulation, reproductive behaviour, appetite, and activity levels in animals.
The supplier gives a service life of 2000 to 3000 hours.
Its focused, spot-type beam with a 45° light angle means it can be mounted at a greater distance from the enclosure floor. The bulb's colour temperature is 2480K.
