Each bulb is rated 100W and screws into an E26 base, and one pack contains two bulbs. It gives off infrared heat with only a faint purple glow, which the manufacturer describes as imitating moonlight, and the bulb is made of glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNFL-2505\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePurple\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModern\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\u003e6.1 x 2 x 10.1 cm (2.4 x 0.8 x 4 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNumber of items\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUnit count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInfrared\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the 100W bulb puts into a terrarium at night\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 100W rating is the bulb's wattage, and the manufacturer builds the lamp around infrared heating. That heat arrives with little visible light: the manufacturer calls the output low-intensity, and the glass bulb itself is purple. Nighttime use is the stated purpose, and the faint purple glow is described as a stand-in for moonlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eE26 is the standard medium socket, so the bulb matches fixtures built for that base. The bulb measures 6.1 x 2 x 10.1 cm, or 2.4 x 0.8 x 4 in, which tells you how much room it takes up inside a dome or fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eScrew the bulb into a ceramic or porcelain fixture\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer asks for a good quality ceramic reptile bulb holder or a porcelain fixture rather than an ordinary plastic socket. Keep the bulb at least 30 cm away from the reptiles. The manufacturer also advises against switching it on and off frequently, and against flicking it straight back on after you turn it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo further limits come from the manufacturer. Water should not splash onto the bulb while it is running, and the light should not be used where the voltage is unstable. There is no stated warm-up or cool-down time to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChecks before you buy a two-pack of this bulb\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fit check starts with the socket: the fixture must take an E26 base, and the manufacturer specifies ceramic or porcelain construction. The 100W rating is what the fixture has to carry, and 30 cm is the closest the bulb should come to the animal, so measure the vertical space between the fitting and the basking spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer lists bearded dragons, tortoises, geckos, iguanas, chameleons, snakes, frogs and toads as suitable reptiles. Skip the bulb where the mains voltage is unstable or where water may reach it. One pack holds two bulbs, so plan where the second one goes or keep it as a spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo purple bulbs in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 100W night heat bulbs on an E26 base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel NFL-2505, glass body in purple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach bulb measures 6.1 x 2 x 10.1 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox contents: 2 count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat buyers ask about this night heat bulb\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much light does the bulb give off at night?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer describes the output as low-intensity light, and most of what the bulb emits is infrared heat rather than visible light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow far should the bulb sit above the reptiles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep 30 cm or more between the bulb and the reptiles, the manufacturer states, so the fixture has to hold it at that height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich fixture does the bulb need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn E26 base is required, and the manufacturer calls for a good quality ceramic reptile bulb holder or a porcelain fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow many bulbs come in one pack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne pack contains two bulbs, and each one is rated 100W on an E26 base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the bulbs be used with frogs and toads in the terrarium?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer lists frogs among the suitable reptiles, along with bearded dragons, tortoises, geckos, iguanas, chameleons, snakes and toads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat customers say\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCustomers find the heat lamp bulbs work well, though opinions about heat output are mixed, with some saying they provide great heat while others report little to no heat.
