Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot Lamp 75W

A lamp specifically designed as a basking spot lamp.
The tight beam can be directed precisely on an area to create a basking site.
The heat and light in the beam is increased by 35%, allowing greater distances between the bulb and the basking site. The UVA (ultraviolet A) light contributes to reptiles’ physiological well-being.

Pet care bulb for use with Reptiles, Amphibians, and Invertebrates only!

• 35% increase of light and heat in the beam
• Creates a basking area for thermoregulation
• Increases ambient air temperature
• Stimulates breeding behaviour through UVA rays
• Can be combined with Night Heat Lamp or Infrared Basking Spot Lamp for a 24-hour cycle

Heat Regulation:

• Exo Terra Basking Spots combine visual light with correct infrared-A (NIR) heat radiation. This mimics the sun’s energy output, which is mainly in the infrared spectrum, especially infrared-A.
• Reptiles perceive this combination as ideal for their thermoregulation, as it matches natural basking conditions. Infrared-A penetrates skin effectively, aiding cell growth, wound healing, immune system support, UV protection, and other biological processes.
• Exo Terra Basking Spots enable reptiles to regulate their body temperature, promoting optimal temperature for activity and digestion.
• These basking spots emit a portion of UVA rays. UVA contributes to reptiles’ well-being and can stimulate breeding behaviour.

Stimulates Natural Behaviour:

• Reptiles are ectothermic animals, relying on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. They move between warm and cold areas of their habitat to maintain their preferred temperature.
• Basking Spots provide a focused beam of light and heat that can be directed to a specific area in the enclosure. This creates a warmer basking site, establishing a temperature gradient within the habitat for the reptile’s thermoregulation.
• The warmer basking area, generated by the Basking Spot, sets up a range of temperatures in the habitat. Reptiles can move within this gradient to achieve their preferred temperature.
• Reptiles perceive the combined light and radiant heat emitted by Basking Spots as the optimal heat source for their thermoregulation, similar to what they experience in their natural environment.
• Exo Terra manufactures Basking Spots with colored glass, enhancing the transfer of heat waves. This design makes the Basking Spots energy-efficient, as the heat is effectively transmitted to the reptile’s environment.

Create Heat Gradients:

• Exo Terra Basking Spots create warmer basking zones and raise ambient air temperature.
• They emit vital infrared-A heat radiation, which penetrates the skin deeply.
• This radiation boosts blood flow and aids natural cellular regeneration.
