ProRep Infrared Spot Lamp ES

The ProRep Infrared Spot Lamp is a red-spectrum basking bulb designed to deliver focused heat to diurnal and crepuscular reptiles in the vivarium. Available in a range of wattages to suit enclosures of different sizes, it provides both localised basking heat and a gentle increase in ambient air temperature — making it a practical choice for keepers running heat gradients across their setup.

What It Does

This lamp produces a concentrated hot spot directly beneath the fitting, giving reptiles a clearly defined basking zone. The infrared output encourages natural thermoregulatory behaviour, allowing animals to move between warmer and cooler areas of the enclosure as they would in the wild.

Heat and Light in One

As well as generating basking heat, the lamp contributes to the overall ambient temperature of the terrarium. The red spectrum output means it can be used where a lower-intensity visible light source is preferred, without compromising heat output at the basking site.

Placement and Setup

• Mount directly above the intended basking site
• Position approximately one-third from one end of the enclosure to allow a clear temperature gradient
• Use in an appropriately rated ES (Edison Screw) fitting designed for basking lamps
• Ensure the selected wattage is matched to your enclosure size and construction

Choosing the Right Wattage

The range covers multiple wattage options, each suited to a different enclosure scale and species requirement. Smaller wattages are well suited to compact setups or species that require moderate basking temperatures, while higher outputs are better suited to larger vivariums or species needing intense heat. Select based on your enclosure dimensions and the basking temperatures required by your animal.

Fits standard ES lamp holders, making it straightforward to integrate into most existing vivarium lighting rigs. A dependable, no-fuss heat source from a brand well established in UK reptile keeping.
