ProRep Basking Spot Lamp 25w ES | Tight Beam Vivarium Basking Lamp

The PR Basking Spot Lamp 25w ES is a tight-beam basking lamp designed specifically for reptile enclosures. It produces visible light, UVA, and short-wave infrared heat, all focused by a built-in reflector into a defined basking zone — giving diurnal species the concentrated warmth they need to thermoregulate naturally.

Built-in Reflector for Focused Basking

Unlike general-purpose bulbs, this lamp features an integrated reflector that directs light and heat into a precise spot. This makes it straightforward to create a distinct basking site with the intensity required for species that depend on radiant heat to reach their preferred body temperature.

Heat, Light, and UVA in One Lamp

The PR Basking Spot Lamp 25w ES emits across three beneficial outputs simultaneously: visible white light to support natural day cycles, UVA which plays a role in reptile behaviour and wellbeing, and short-wave infrared heat to warm the basking surface and the surrounding air. This combination helps maintain an appropriate thermal gradient across the enclosure.

Positioning and Setup

• Mount directly above the intended basking site, approximately one third from one end of the enclosure
• This positioning creates a warm end and a cooler end, supporting natural thermoregulatory movement
• ES (Edison Screw) fitting — ensure your fixture matches before purchase
• Select the correct wattage for your enclosure size, construction, and the species being kept

Safety and Thermostat Use

A dimming thermostat is strongly recommended to prevent the basking area from exceeding safe temperatures. A lamp guard must always be used to keep the animal from making direct contact with the bulb — burns from unguarded basking lamps are a serious and common risk.

A straightforward, purpose-built lamp that does exactly what a basking spot should: deliver focused heat and light where the animal needs it, with no guesswork about placement or output.
