Find a productProduct description
This 50 W metal halide lamp with an E27 socket is intended for reptile keepers who want one light source for heating and lighting in the terrarium. According to the manufacturer, its output is meant to approximate the balance of sunlight, combining light, heat and UV in a single lamp. It runs on a ballast, which is not included and must be purchased separately.
Why it matters
- The manufacturer describes the emission as a balance of visible light, UV and infrared radiation, which it states is close to natural sunlight.
- Light is diffused, which the manufacturer says reduces overexposed hot spots inside the enclosure.
- According to the manufacturer, even irradiation of the whole body is needed for effective thermoregulation and vitamin D3 synthesis, and this lamp is designed to provide it.
- The manufacturer states that the UV output is balanced with heat and visible light, rather than being excessively high, and that one lamp can replace a separate heat bulb and UVB lamp.

What it works with
The lamp belongs to the heating category for terrariums and is suited to reptile enclosures where a single fixture is to cover heating and lighting.

The source does not specify the enclosure dimensions or the species the lamp is recommended for, so these should be checked before purchase.
