Find a productProduct description
This 70 W metal halide lamp is intended for reptile keepers who want one light source to cover lighting, basking heat and UV in the enclosure. Its E27 base and 5500K colour temperature place it among daylight-type terrarium lamps. It is built for reptile setups where a single fixture needs to replace separate heat and UVB lamps.
Why it matters
- The manufacturer describes the lamp as emitting light and heat with a balance close to sunlight, including visible light, UV and infrared, so the enclosure receives these wavelengths together.
- The supplier states that the light is diffused, which is meant to reduce overly intense hotspots in the enclosure.
- According to the supplier, the UV output is designed to work together with heat and infrared emission, rather than as an isolated UV source.
- The supplier claims that animals kept under metal halide lighting show more intense colouration and more natural behaviour; this is the manufacturer's statement and has not been independently verified here.

What it works with
The lamp suits reptile terrariums where the keeper needs combined heat, light and UV from one fixture. Operation requires a suitable ballast (statecznik), which must be matched to this metal halide lamp before use. Check the enclosure dimensions and basking distance against your species' requirements before installation.

Frequently asked questions
According to the manufacturer's description, this metal halide lamp provides heat, visible light, UV and IR together, and is presented as a replacement for both a heat bulb and a UVB lamp. The data does not include UV output values, so check the lamp's suitability for your species' requirements.
It has an E27 base and a 120 mm diameter, so it fits E27 sockets with enough clearance for that diameter. The power draw is 70 W.
The lamp requires a suitable ballast (statecznik), which is not listed in this product's data and must be purchased separately. Make sure the ballast matches the 70 W rating before connecting the lamp.
Its color temperature is 5500K, which is close to daylight white light. The manufacturer describes its spectrum as balanced to resemble sunlight.
The manufacturer states that the UV level of metal halide lamps is balanced with heating and IR output, unlike some compact UV fluorescent lamps that can have unnaturally high UV levels. No numerical UV values are provided in the product data.
