Halogen Sun Spot Lamp
Spot lamps are excellent for providing hot spots inside a vivarium where the animals can bask. Please consider that halogen and incandesecent light bulbs cannot produce UVB and only little UVA for technical reasons. Additional UV lamps are therefore necessary. Lucky Reptile recommends the halogen technology, which is more efficient than normal incandescent lamps and produces more light and heat at lower wattages. This helps to save a lot of energy and preserves the environment.
The Lucky Reptile Halogen Sun spot lamp brings more light and heat on the spot and does lead to a lesser increase of the ambient air temperature than regular reptile spot lamps with the same wattage. As result it is easier to set up the proper heat gradients in the terrarium and greater distances between animal and the spot lamp can be realized. Further advantages are the higher average life, the higher resistance against spray water and much lower power consumption compared to incandescent spot lamps. A 75W Halogen Sun is suitable to replace a 100W incandescent spot in regards to heat output and offers even more light output, allowing you to safe 25 Euro and more in power cost per year.
- more heat and light, and energy savings compared to tungsten bulbs,
- emits a certain amount of UVA,
- higher resistance to water splashes.
