Reptile Systems Infrared Heat Lamp

The Reptile Systems InfraRed Heat Lamp is a European-manufactured vivarium heating bulb built for consistent, reliable performance. Designed to emit high heat output with minimal visible light, it suits keepers who need effective overnight or low-disturbance heating without flooding the enclosure with bright light.

What It Does

Infrared heat lamps work by warming the enclosure and its occupants directly, making them well suited to ectothermic reptiles that rely on external heat sources to regulate body temperature. The low visible light output means the lamp can run into the evening without disrupting natural light cycles or unsettling your animals.

Vivarium Compatibility

• Suitable for heating a vivarium during the day and into the evening
• E27 screw fitting — compatible with standard vivarium lamp holders and ceramic fixtures
• Can be used alongside a thermostat for accurate temperature management
• European-manufactured for consistent quality and performance

Lifespan

Each lamp is rated for approximately 3,500 hours of use — around 15 months based on eight hours of use per day. That's a meaningful service life for a heating bulb in a working vivarium setup.

Choosing the Right Wattage

These lamps are available in a range of wattages to suit enclosures of different sizes and species with different thermal requirements. Select your preferred output from the options on this page — as a general principle, larger enclosures and species requiring higher basking temperatures will benefit from a higher wattage option.

A straightforward, well-built infrared heat source from a brand that takes reptile keeping seriously. Pair with a quality thermostat to maintain stable temperatures and get the most from each lamp's lifespan.
