Basking Flood Lamp for Reptiles - ProRep E27 Heat Lamp with UVA, 40w, 60w and 100w

Warm, even heat and light for your reptile's enclosure. The ProRep Basking Flood Lamp is an E27 screw-fit heat lamp with a diffused coating, which spreads heat and light evenly across the enclosure and helps avoid very hot spots. It gives off visible light, short-wave infrared heat and low levels of UVA, so it lights and warms the enclosure in one bulb. It is a good choice for reptiles that bask, in small to large enclosures depending on the wattage.

Key Features

• Even, Gentle Heat: A diffused coating spreads the heat and light more evenly than a spot lamp, with fewer hot spots.
• Heat and Light in One: Gives out visible light and short-wave infrared heat.
• Includes UVA: Gives off low levels of UVA light as well as heat and visible light.
• Three Wattages: Available in 40w, 60w and 100w, to suit different enclosure sizes.
• Standard E27 Screw Fitting: Fits any compatible E27 lamp holder.
• Supports Natural Behaviour: Helps create the warm area your reptile needs for basking and thermoregulation.

Why We Rate This

Reptiles cannot warm themselves from the inside, so they rely on their enclosure to do it for them. A lamp gives them a warm area to heat up in, and the cooler end of the enclosure lets them cool down again, which is how they regulate their temperature and digest their food. A flood lamp spreads that warmth more evenly and gently than a spot lamp, so it suits enclosures where you want a warm, well-lit area and not one intense hot spot.

Replacing an E27 Basking Spot Lamp?

The ProRep Basking Spot Lamp is no longer made with an E27 screw fitting. If you need a screw-fit bulb to replace one, this flood lamp is the E27 alternative. It spreads the heat more widely than the spot lamp did, so check the temperature of your basking area with a thermometer when you fit it, and adjust the wattage or the height of the lamp if you need to. If your lamp holder is a bayonet (BC) fitting, we stock the ProRep Basking Spot Lamp with a BC fitting, which concentrates the heat into one defined basking spot.

Please Note: UVA Is Not UVB

This lamp gives off UVA, but it does not give off UVB. Many reptiles need UVB light to make vitamin D3 and stay healthy, so they will also need a separate UVB lamp suited to their species.

Choosing Your Wattage

• 40w: Suits small to medium enclosures.
• 60w: Suits medium enclosures.
• 100w: Suits medium to large enclosures.
• The right wattage also depends on how high the lamp sits and how warm the room is, so use a thermometer to check the temperature and adjust to suit your reptile's species.
• Mount the lamp above the warm end of the enclosure, around one third of the way in from the end, so there is a cooler area at the other end.

Using It Safely

• Always use with a dimming thermostat and a lamp guard, to control the temperature and to prevent contact burns.
• Let the lamp cool completely before handling it, and let it reach room temperature before switching it back on, to prevent damage.
• Never spray water onto a hot lamp.
• Make sure the lamp holder is rated for the wattage of the bulb you choose.
