Terrarium setups for snakes, toads, frogs, chameleons, lizards, iguanas, geckos, turtles, tortoises and bearded dragons can use it. UVB output is 1000 uW\/cm², and the lamp uses no control gear because the ballast is built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the 100W mercury vapor bulb does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe lamp emits heat, UVA, UVB and visible light together (F3).

A minimum distance of approximately 30–40 cm should be kept from the reptiles, and the terrarium must include cooler sections the animals can retreat to at any time (F13, F14).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor first-time use, begin with 30 minutes of radiation per day and increase gradually over 2–3 weeks to up to 3 hours per day, depending on species; if required, the lamp can serve as all-day lighting for a maximum of 10 hours per day (F15, F16). Full radiation capacity is reached in about 5 minutes of warm-up (F18). Avoid overheating the terrarium, do not use dimmers or rheostats, and do not switch the bulb on and off repeatedly (F17, F12, F25). If the lamp switches off and stays off or flickers, cut the power and let it cool for 10–15 minutes before restoring it (F21). The bulb is very hot during use, so keep it out of the reach of children, never spray it with water and do not touch it (F22, F24).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChecks before you buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lamp fits an E26 socket, the standard US medium base, and needs a ceramic socket of good quality; dimmers and rheostats are not suitable (F9, F10, F12). The bulb must be mounted vertically and kept at least about 30–40 cm from the animals, with cooler areas available in the terrarium (F23, F13, F14). The terrarium should not overheat, and the lamp should be placed where children cannot reach it (F17, F22).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this 100W reptile bulb\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat socket does the bulb need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bulb fits an E26 socket, and the brand calls for a good quality ceramic socket (F9, F10).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need a separate ballast?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The lamp is self-ballasted and starts on its own without control gear (F5, F19).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far should the lamp be from the reptiles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep a minimum distance of approximately 30–40 cm from the animals (F13).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long should it run on first use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with 30 minutes of radiation per day, then increase gradually over 2–3 weeks to up to 3 hours per day, depending on species (F15).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used with a dimmer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The lamp must not be used with dimmers or rheostats (F12).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat animals is it suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eF6 is the range the brand provides for animals such as geckos, iguanas, lizards, chameleons, bearded dragons, tortoises and turtles, as well as frogs, toads and snakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100W Mercury Vapor Bulb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSilver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100W Clear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Count (Pack of 1)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlass\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 14.2 cm (4.7 x 4.7 x 5.6 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecific uses\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProvide uva uvb output, keep reptiles warm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUVA UVB Reptile Heat Light All-in-One Bulb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LUCKY HERP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44475817197631,"sku":null,"price":49.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2409\/1199\/files\/lucky-herp-heat-lamp-100-watt.jpg?v=1794679402","url":"https:\/\/dogjointly.com\/products\/lucky-herp-100w-reptile-heat-lamp","provider":"DogJointly","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
