One thing worth knowing

This is a heat bulb, not a UVB one — Exo Terra's own description covers infrared-A and a small amount of UVA, with no UVB claim on the card. If your setup needs UVB, this bulb isn't providing it and a separate UVB source would be needed. Exo Terra say it can also be paired with a Night Glo or Heat Glo bulb for a full day-night cycle.

Why we chose it

The beam is genuinely narrow enough to create a real hot spot rather than just warming the whole tank, which a lot of basking bulbs claim and fewer actually manage. It also covers amphibians and invertebrates as well as reptiles, so it does more of the job than a bulb marketed at reptiles alone.

Full description

A reptile that can't reach the right temperature in the right spot in its tank isn't unwell, it just has nowhere to go, which is the entire job a basking bulb like this one is built to solve.

The coloured glass construction is designed for efficient heat-wave transfer, giving a tight, focused beam that Exo Terra say increases light and heat by 35% over the directed area, letting the bulb sit further from the basking site than a plainer one would allow. It emits infrared-A along with a small portion of UVA radiation, creating the kind of temperature gradient that lets an animal move toward or away from the heat as it needs to. Exo Terra sell this bulb across a range of wattages, and this listing is the 150W option.

One thing worth knowing. This is a heat bulb, not a UVB one — Exo Terra's own description covers infrared-A and a small amount of UVA, with no UVB claim on the card. If your setup needs UVB, this bulb isn't providing it and a separate UVB source would be needed. Exo Terra say it can also be paired with a Night Glo or Heat Glo bulb for a full day-night cycle.

Who it's for: keepers of reptiles, amphibians or invertebrates who need a focused basking hot spot rather than general tank warmth, and who can match the wattage to their vivarium's size and basking distance.
