Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot 50W Reptile Heat Lamp PT2141

The ET Infrared Basking Spot 50W is a red-glass infrared heat lamp designed for continuous use in reptile vivariums and terrariums. With a built-in reflector and infrared-emitting filament, it delivers directed radiant heat day or night without interfering with your animals' natural behaviour cycles.

How It Works

The red glass envelope transmits infrared heat waves generated by the specialist filament, while the integrated reflector focuses that heat precisely where it is needed. This concentrated output raises both the basking zone temperature and the overall air temperature within the enclosure — essential for reptile thermoregulation, activity, and digestion.

24-Hour Heat Source

The low-intensity red light produced by this lamp does not disrupt normal day or night activity in reptiles, making it suitable for round-the-clock use. It is equally effective as a nocturnal heat source and allows keepers to observe animals after dark without introducing disruptive white light.

Compatibility and Use

• Raises overall air temperature in the terrarium
• Provides radiant infrared heat to support digestion and activity
• Can be paired with a daytime heat lamp or night heat lamp to complete a 24-hour heating cycle
• Built-in reflector allows heat to be directed as required
• Suitable for nocturnal viewing without disturbing animal behaviour

A straightforward, reliable infrared heat source that fits into any well-structured vivarium heating setup — whether used alone overnight or as part of a combined day-night system.
