Black Moonlight 75W – heating bulb

This E27 heat bulb is intended for keepers of reptiles and amphibians who want a dim night-time light in the enclosure without a cold blue tint. Its purple glass changes the light output, so the enclosure is lit with a soft violet-blue glow that also shows certain plants and some tropical amphibians more clearly.

Why it matters

• Purple glass: The special tinted glass produces a bluish-purple half-light that suits evening and night observation.
• Warm light colour: Unlike many blue-tinted night lamps, the emitted colour is warm rather than cold blue.
• Night temperatures: At 75 W the bulb is described as producing temperatures close to those of tropical nights, without conflicting with the natural temperature drop after dark.
• Breeding behaviour: The manufacturer states that this lighting stimulates breeding behaviour in reptiles and amphibians.

What it works with

The bulb is designed for terrariums housing nocturnal or tropical reptiles and amphibians, and for display setups where the evening lighting is part of the presentation. It fits any standard E27 lamp holder, so it can be used with a dimmer or thermostat that supports this socket and wattage. Check the enclosure size and heat requirements of your species before use.
