ProRep Infrared Spot Bulb

The ProRep Infrared Spot Lamp is a red-spectrum basking lamp designed for reptile keepers who want to provide focused heat within a vivarium without the bright white light of a standard daylight bulb. Available in a range of wattages to suit enclosures of different sizes and species requirements, it delivers both localised heat and a degree of ambient warmth to the surrounding air.

What It Does

This lamp creates a concentrated basking spot within the terrarium, giving heat-dependent species the radiant warmth they need to thermoregulate effectively. By raising temperatures locally at the basking site while allowing cooler zones to remain elsewhere in the enclosure, it supports the natural behaviour of day-active and crepuscular species.

Thermoregulation and Setup

Positioning matters with any basking lamp. Mount it directly above the intended basking site, roughly one third of the way along the enclosure, so your animal has clear access to a warm end and can move freely to a cooler area as needed. This gradient is essential for healthy thermoregulation and should be factored into your overall vivarium layout.

Choosing the Right Wattage

The range covers multiple wattage options to suit enclosures of varying scale and construction. A smaller, well-insulated vivarium will reach target basking temperatures with a lower wattage lamp, while larger or more open setups may require a higher output. Always pair any heat source with a quality thermostat to maintain accurate temperatures and protect your animals. Use in an approved ES (Edison Screw) fitting rated for the wattage selected.

A straightforward, reliable heat source from a well-established reptile brand — the ProRep Infrared Spot Lamp gives keepers a practical way to deliver the basking conditions their animals depend on, in the wattage that suits their specific setup.
