ProRep Infrared Spot Lamp 40w BC | Reptile Basking Bulb

The PR Infrared Spot Lamp 40w BC is a red-spectrum basking lamp designed for day-active reptiles that require a concentrated heat source within their vivarium. Using a bayonet cap (BC) fitting, it delivers localised warmth and visible light to support the natural behaviours of basking species kept in captivity.

What It Does

This lamp creates a defined hot spot within the enclosure, raising local surface temperatures while also contributing to ambient air temperature. The infrared output encourages reptiles to thermoregulate actively — moving between warmer and cooler zones as they would in the wild.

Suitable Species and Set-Ups

Designed for diurnal (day-active) species that bask under direct sunlight in their natural habitat. The red spectrum is commonly used to emphasise the warm tones of a naturalistic vivarium set-up and can help simulate the visual environment of arid or tropical regions depending on your décor.

Installation Guidance

• Use in an approved lamp fitting rated for the correct BC cap type
• Position directly above the intended basking site, approximately one-third of the way along the enclosure from one end
• This placement creates a usable temperature gradient from warm to cool across the vivarium floor
• Ensure the 40w output is appropriate for your enclosure size and construction before use

Used correctly, the PR Infrared Spot Lamp 40w BC gives reptile keepers a straightforward way to provide a reliable basking zone that supports thermoregulation, natural activity patterns, and overall animal wellbeing.
