Zoo Med Professional Series Dimmable Clamp Lamp
Reptiles, being ectothermic creatures, rely on external heat sources like the sun to regulate their body temperature. This warmth is essential for digestion, overall health, and proper bodily functions. As they cannot generate their own heat, providing an appropriate heat source through lamps is crucial for their well-being.
The Zoo Med Professional Series Dimmable Clamp Lamp offers a versatile solution for managing both heat and light levels for reptile habitats. Featuring an integrated dimmer switch, it allows you to seamlessly adjust the output from completely off to maximum power, or any level in between. Its robust ceramic socket supports bulbs up to 150 watts, ensuring durability and safety.
With dimming capabilities, you can fine-tune the temperature gradient in your reptile’s enclosure. Easily lower the heat during warmer days or increase it during cooler times, or adjust seasonally without needing to swap bulbs.
Maximum bulb capacity: 150w
Lamp diameter: 8.5"
Usage Instructions:
Securely install the bulb into the socket. Connect the cord to a power outlet or timer if required, and test the on/off switch to confirm the bulb operates correctly. Position the lamp on the mesh top of your terrarium, placing it over the basking spot on either the far left or right side to establish a proper temperature gradient. Activate the lamp and use the dimmer control to set the desired basking temperature.
For optimal temperature monitoring, pair this lamp with the Zoo Med ReptiTemp Digital Infrared Thermometer to ensure your reptile’s basking area maintains the ideal temperature for their specific needs.
