About this product
This 160W reptile heat lamp is a self-ballasted mercury vapor bulb that combines heat, UVA, UVB and visible light in a single lamp, with a UVB output of 300uW/cm². It has a standard E26 base and runs on 120V. According to the maker, the product is meant for animals including snakes, chameleons, lizards, iguanas, geckos, turtles, tortoises and bearded dragons.
120V operation and self-ballasted design
The bulb draws 160W at 120V and carries its own ballast, so it needs no separate control gear. It fits an E26 socket, the standard US size, and the manufacturer asks for a good quality ceramic socket.
An internal thermal switch turns the lamp off if it overheats, and after cooling it normally comes back on by itself. If it stays dark or flickers, the manufacturer advises cutting the power and letting it cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Full radiation capacity is reached roughly 5 minutes after switching on.
Heat, UVA, UVB and visible light from one bulb
The lamp simulates sunlight and delivers heat, UVA, UVB and visible light together, with no harmful UVC output stated. The maker states that a higher humidity environment is suitable for use with it, and the glass is thicker than other UVB bulbs have.
The bulb is installed vertically only and must never be sprayed with water. It gets very hot while in use, so it should not be touched and must stay out of reach of children. The manufacturer also advises against switching it on and off repeatedly.
Fitting the bulb to your terrarium and fixture
Check the size of the 160W bulb against your lamp fixture before buying; the bulb measures 15.5 x 11.4 x 11.4 cm (6.1 x 4.5 x 4.5 in) and weighs 222 g (7.8 oz). It will not work with dimmers or rheostats, and it needs a ceramic socket rather than a plastic one.
Keep the lamp about 30 to 40 cm from the reptiles at minimum, and make sure they can retreat to cooler sections at any time. Watch the overall terrarium temperature so it does not overheat. For a first run, the manufacturer suggests 30 minutes of radiation per day, building up over 2 to 3 weeks to as much as 3 hours daily; as all-day lighting the spotlight is rated for a maximum of 10 hours a day.
