Zoo Med Basking Daytime Spot Lamp Bulb for Reptiles

Create a warm, sunlike basking zone your reptile will actually use. The Zoo Med Basking Daytime Spot Lamp bulb concentrates bright heat and light into a tight beam, helping diurnal species warm up fast, digest well, and stay active. Choose the 50-watt output to dial in a reliable hot spot without overheating the entire habitat.

Key Features

• Focused spot beam: Direct heat and light right onto the basking perch for efficient warming.
• Daytime light with UVA: Encourage natural behavior, appetite, and calm, alert activity.
• Ambient warmth boost: Raise terrarium air temperature while preserving a cooler retreat.
• Double-reflector design: Aim more heat and brightness where your pet needs it most.
• Easy installation: Screw into a standard reptile dome or clamp lamp rated for 50W.

Applications

Set up a clear basking platform and position the lamp above it to reach your species’ target surface temp. Support bearded dragons, young iguanas, uromastyx, and other diurnal reptiles that thermo-regulate by basking. Pair with a dedicated UVB source if your species requires UVB for bone and shell health.

Specifications

• Wattage: 50W
• Beam: Tight, focused spot for defined basking areas
• Spectrum: Bright daytime output with UVA (no UVB)
• Base: Standard screw-in; use with fixtures rated for the wattage

Start with the lamp 8–12 inches above the perch, then fine-tune distance to meet your temperature gradient. Monitor with a digital thermometer or infrared temp gun, and run on a consistent day-night cycle to keep your reptile comfortable and stress-free.
