{"product_id":"pr-basking-spotlamp-60w-es","title":"ProRep Basking Spotlamp 60W ES | Reptile Vivarium Basking Bulb","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe PR Basking Spotlamp 60W ES is a tight-beam basking lamp developed specifically for reptile enclosures. It produces visible light, UVA, and short-wave infrared heat, delivering the conditions diurnal species need to bask and thermoregulate effectively. The Edison Screw (ES) fitting makes it straightforward to install in compatible lamp holders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuilt-in Reflector, Focused Output\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike general-purpose bulbs, this lamp features a built-in reflector that concentrates light and heat into a defined basking zone. This focused beam replicates the intensity of a natural basking spot, encouraging the normal thermoregulatory behaviour that diurnal reptiles rely on for digestion, activity, and overall health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCreating a Thermal Gradient\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePosition the lamp directly above the intended basking site, approximately one third from one end of the vivarium. This placement allows a natural temperature gradient to develop across the enclosure, giving the animal the ability to move between warmer and cooler zones as required — essential for proper thermoregulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSelecting the Right Setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoosing the correct wattage for your enclosure is important. Consider the animal's requirements, enclosure size, and the construction of the vivarium when selecting this or any basking lamp. The use of a dimming thermostat is strongly recommended to maintain safe, stable temperatures and prevent overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSafety Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lamp must always be used with a suitable lamp guard to prevent direct contact between the animal and the bulb surface. Contact with an unguarded lamp will cause burns. Use only in an approved fitting rated for the correct lamp type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor keepers housing diurnal reptiles, the PR Basking Spotlamp 60W ES offers a dependable, species-appropriate heat and light source that supports natural behaviour and a well-structured thermal environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54148061528401,"sku":"LMS110","price":2.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/LMS110_1.jpg?v=1782598105","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/pr-basking-spotlamp-60w-es","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
