Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot 150W Tight Beam Reptile Lamp PT2140

The ET Intense Basking Spot 150W is a high-output tight-beam basking lamp built specifically for reptile vivariums. Designed for keepers who need a concentrated, directable heat and light source, it creates a defined basking zone that supports natural thermoregulation — essential for lizards, tortoises, and other heliothermic species.

Concentrated Beam, Greater Reach

The tight beam design allows you to aim the lamp precisely at a specific basking spot within the vivarium. The beam delivers 35% more light and heat output compared to a standard spot lamp, meaning you can position the bulb at greater distances from the basking surface without sacrificing temperature intensity at the site.

Thermoregulation and Ambient Heating

• Creates a distinct thermal gradient by focusing heat into a defined basking area
• Raises ambient air temperature within the enclosure as a secondary effect
• Supports natural thermoregulatory behaviour — animals can bask, then retreat to cooler zones

UVA Output

The ET Intense Basking Spot 150W emits UVA (ultraviolet A) radiation, which contributes to the physiological well-being of reptiles and has been shown to stimulate natural behaviours including breeding activity. UVA is invisible to humans but within the visible spectrum of most reptile species.

24-Hour Lighting Compatibility

This lamp covers the daytime basking portion of a full day-night cycle. It can be paired with a night heat lamp or infrared basking lamp to maintain appropriate temperatures overnight without disrupting the animal's natural light cycle.

A straightforward, purpose-built basking lamp for keepers who want reliable, directed heat and light in one unit — with the output to work across taller or larger enclosures.
