Its carbon fiber element produces Far Infrared-A and Far Infrared-B, and the internal PAR38 reflector sends that heat back up from the basking zone. The bulb measures 11.9 x 11.9 x 14 cm and is made with aluminium and quartz glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDHP 130W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDhp 130w\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDHP 130W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum, Glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem dimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.9 x 11.9 x 14 cm (4.7 x 4.7 x 5.5 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecific uses\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurtle tank\/ bearded dragon accessories for habitat.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy Efficient\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the DHP 130W is set up and run\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer recommends pairing the bulb with a thermostat so the target temperature is reached and held. Keep an eye on the gap between the bulb and your pet, and do not touch the bulb while it is working; let it cool with the power off first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe quartz glass around the fiber tube is built to resist cracking in a high-humidity environment, so a damp setup does not rule the bulb out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e130W power rating and the heat it puts out\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bulb draws 130W. That output comes from a carbon fiber element inside a quartz glass tube, with an aluminium housing around it. Far Infrared-A and Far Infrared-B are the two bands the element gives off, and the PAR38 reflector directs the heat back upwards from the basking zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the bulb emits no light, it can serve as a heat source around the clock, giving a 24-hour supply of warmth to the enclosure. The manufacturer puts the lifespan at a few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the carbon fiber projector does in a terrarium\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe internal PAR38 reflector sits behind the element and bounces heat back toward the basking zone rather than letting it escape upward. That reflected heat is what a reptile under the bulb receives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carbon fiber element and the quartz glass tube around it make up the working part of the bulb, and the outer aluminium housing holds them in place. Weighing the two infrared bands separately is not something the rating does; both come from the same element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer lists the bulb for chickens, turtles, puppies, bearded dragons, snakes, lizards, hermit crabs, leopard geckos, hedgehogs, poultry and bathroom use, and it can run alongside a UVA\/UVB reptile light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes this bulb suit your setup?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck that a 130W bulb is the rating your fixture and thermostat are set up for, since the power draw is fixed at that figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the mounting height so there is a workable distance between the bulb and the animal, and keep that gap in mind rather than placing the bulb close to the pet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your enclosure runs humid, the anti-crack quartz glass is the part the manufacturer names for that condition. Where you also run a UVA\/UVB reptile light, the two can be used together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo not plan to handle the bulb during operation, and wait until it has cooled with the power off before touching it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about the C-Raptile deep heat projector\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes this bulb give off any visible light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the bulb emits no light, so the heat comes without illumination in the room or the terrarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat wattage is the DHP 130W?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bulb is rated at 130W and draws that figure when it runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the bulb last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer rates the lifespan at a few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used together with a UVA\/UVB light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the bulb can be used with a UVA\/UVB reptile light in the same setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the bulb made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe element is carbon fiber inside a quartz glass tube, and the housing is aluminium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich animals does the manufacturer list it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe list covers chickens, turtles, puppies, bearded dragons, snakes, lizards, hermit crabs, leopard geckos, hedgehogs and poultry, plus bathroom use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C-Raptile","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44476916301887,"sku":null,"price":62.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2409\/1199\/files\/c-raptile-heat-lamp-130w.jpg?v=1794698935","url":"https:\/\/dogjointly.com\/products\/c-raptile-dhp-130w-reptile-heat-lamp","provider":"DogJointly","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
