The Arcadia Halogen Basking Spot is an excellent option for
generating a basking area for a wide range of reptile species. It does not
produce UV (ultraviolet) light and so is intended to be used in conjunction
with self ballasted mercury vapour reptile lamps or fluorescent reptile
lighting, which are available in the UVB lighting section of our website. We recommend
the use of a thermostat with all heat sources used in a reptile
vivarium. For a halogen basking lamp a dimming thermostat is most
suitable.
THIS BULB DOES NOT EMIT UVB
The Arcadia halogen basking lamp is an excellent
eco-friendly option for providing your reptile with heat and light. They are
incredibly energy efficient when compared to a standard tungsten
lamp. Tungsten is not an efficient heat source as light and heat are
emitted all around the globe of the lamp. Another problem with tungsten is that
it relies on an incredibly fragile filament; as energy is passed through the
filament it increases in temperature which in turn produces light. However
every time the lamp is switched on or dimmed up and down the filament wears a
little. Over a short amount of time this wear and tear builds up and the lamp
fails. Halogen bulbs are much more energy efficient; typically a 50w Arcadia
halogen heat-spot will do the same job as a 100w tungsten lamp!
The Arcadia basking spot has a built in metal reflector
which angles the light and heat into a more concentrated area decreasing the
amount of heat that escapes from the sides of a standard bulb and is therefore
making as much use of all the energy produced as possible and simultaneously
produces a more localised hot basking spot for your reptile. Due to the speed
these bulbs heat up and the concentrated heat spot produced these lamps will be
on for less time as the target temperature is reached quicker when used in
conjunction with a dimming thermostat. To summarise the Arcadia halogen
heatspot will save you money on running costs and lamp changes. These
lamps are intended to be used alongside a fluorescent UV producing lamp in
order to provide your animal with all their necessary heat and light
requirements.
