{"product_id":"rs-ceramic-heat-emitter-25w","title":"Reptile Systems Ceramic Heat Emitter 25W | Reptile Vivarium Heat Source","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe RS Ceramic Heat Emitter 25W is a zero-light heat source designed for reptile and exotic pet keepers who need reliable, constant warmth in a terrarium without interfering with natural day\/night cycles. Because it emits no visible light, it can run through the night without disrupting animal behaviour, making it a practical choice for both daytime basking zones and round-the-clock background heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThermal Environment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDirected heat from a ceramic emitter supports the thermoregulation reptiles depend on for digestion, activity, and general well-being. Positioning one correctly within a vivarium allows keepers to establish a defined warm area that animals can move to and from as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNight-Time Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike heat lamps, the RS Ceramic Heat Emitter 25W produces no glow, so nocturnal observation of animals is possible without introducing light pollution that would break the 24-hour cycle. This is particularly relevant for species sensitive to artificial light disturbance overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThermostat Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor accurate temperature control, this emitter should be paired with a compatible thermostat. Running any ceramic heat emitter without thermostat regulation risks overheating the enclosure and shortens the lifespan of the bulb. A pulse-proportional or on\/off thermostat is the standard pairing for ceramic emitters in reptile keeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RS Ceramic Heat Emitter 25W must be used in a ceramic bulb holder only — standard plastic lamp holders are not rated for the heat output of ceramic emitters and should never be used as a substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA straightforward, proven heat source for vivarium setups where light-free warmth is the priority — whether used as a primary heat source or to supplement existing lighting-based heating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"25W","offer_id":54147679027537,"sku":"HRC002","price":14.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50W","offer_id":54147679060305,"sku":"HRC005","price":16.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100W","offer_id":54147679093073,"sku":"HRC010","price":16.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"150W","offer_id":54147679125841,"sku":"HRC015","price":17.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/HRC002_1.jpg?v=1782596969","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/rs-ceramic-heat-emitter-25w","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
