LUCKY REPTILE Halogen Sun LV 35W (double pack) 12V

Low Voltage Halogens

Low voltage halogen technlogy offers interesting opportunities for the future of herp keeping. For one it is possible to develop safe lamps like the Jungle Lamp which can be used under extreme conditions like in a rainforest vivarium. And the development of compact luminaires is possible that allow terrarium constructions like the Lucky Reptile Starter Kits or the FurniTarrium Premium without a mess of visible wires or lamps and sockets pointing deep down inside the cage. Low voltage halogen lamps match the light and heat performance of their 230V relatives but usually achieve longer lives and help to save a lot of energy!

The Lucky Reptile Halogen Sun LV lamps may be small but they offer a lot of light and heat. The special reflector effectively focusses light and heat and projects it all to the front. Also the low voltage technology is more efficient than the high voltage technology allowing power savings of about 25% compared to the normal Halogen Sun lamps and even 50% compared to incandescent lamps. This can easily add up to power savings of 30€ and more every year! These lamps cannot be compared to standard low voltage lamps found in DIY stores, which have so called „cold light“ reflectors that project the heat to the back where it is not beneficial for reptiles.“Cold light“ halogen lamps are also not suitable for the Lucky Reptile Starter Kits and the Thermo Socket LV and Jungle Lamp as they project heat to the back and can cause the luminaires to overheat. Use only Halogen Sun LV for these luminaires. The Halogen Sun LV lamps have a G5.3 socket and will not only fit the Jungle Lamp and Thermo Socket LV but all other luminaires suitable for MR16 halogen lamps, e. G. the recessed luminaires of the Lucky Reptile Designer Terrariums. Replacement for the Lucky Reptile Starter Kit 80 cm.

• extremely efficient reflector that directs heat to the animal
• no back effect, diffused heat – high thermal efficiency
• legible diagrams illustrating the operation of different halogen powers for simplified lamp selection
• increased animal and human safety due to the reduced 12V voltage technology

How to care for your lamps and extend their life span?

• Darken the light as rarely as possible, because any dimming process shortens the life span,
• make sure your luminaire is not exposed to spray water. When spraying, a sudden temperature difference can shorten the lamp life – despite the extremely robust design of the reflector.

note – Lucky Reptile prints distance graphics on almost all lamp packs, which should help you to choose the right lamp. The values ​​were always determined under the same conditions. Ambient temperature 25°C and the values measured on the slate plate. These values ​​were always measured exactly in the center of the lamp flux. In our recommendation of the distance from the animal, we took into account all two parameters (temperature and light output). Follow our recommendations for the benefits of your pet.
