Available in a range of wattages to suit enclosures of different sizes and species requirements, this bayonet cap (BC) lamp delivers both heat and a subtle infrared glow to support the natural behaviours of heat-dependent reptiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lamp creates a focused basking hot spot within the vivarium, raising the temperature locally at the basking site while also contributing to the ambient air temperature of the enclosure. That thermal gradient is essential — it gives reptiles the ability to move between warmer and cooler zones, supporting the thermo-regulatory behaviour they rely on for digestion, immunity, and general wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecies and Setup Suitability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInfrared spot lamps are particularly well suited to species that bask under direct heat in the wild — including many agamids, monitors, tortoises, and other diurnal or crepuscular reptiles. The red spectrum can be used to complement the visual appearance of a naturalistic vivarium setup, helping to simulate the warm tones of the animal's native environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation and Placement\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits standard bayonet cap (BC) lamp holders — ensure the fitting is rated and approved for reptile use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition the lamp directly above the intended basking site\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount roughly one third from one end of the enclosure to establish a clear temperature gradient from warm to cool end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelect the appropriate wattage for your enclosure size and construction — smaller setups require lower outputs; larger or taller enclosures may need higher wattage to achieve the correct basking temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the Right Wattage\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lamp is available in multiple wattage options to match a range of vivarium sizes and thermal requirements.
