straight ceramic frame

This ceramic E27 lamp holder is intended for keepers who need a fixed point for a terrarium light source and are building or modifying their own enclosure. It mounts directly to a board, glass pane or steel mesh, so it can be placed where the set-up requires. The supplier describes it as suitable for any type of terrarium.

Why it matters

• The body is made from a heat-resistant ceramic powder that has been fired twice, which suits the warm zone of a terrarium where bulbs produce heat.
• It is rated for bulbs up to 200 W with an E27 thread, so it accepts standard screw-in bulbs of that size.
• Mounting holes allow it to be screwed onto a board, glass or mesh, and a complete kit of screws and mounting plugs is included.
• The 180 cm cable carries an integrated switch and ends in a European plug, so the light can be controlled without a separate switch and connected to a 220 V socket.

What it works with

The holder fits the terrarium lighting category and is designed for E27 bulbs up to 200 W, so bulb wattage must stay within that limit. It is intended for terraria built or adapted by the keeper, where the holder is fixed to the enclosure structure. Check that the chosen bulb and the mounting surface can handle the heat and weight.
