About this product

The Arcadia Halogen Basking Spot 35W is a specialized, low-wattage heating solution designed specifically for smaller terrariums, nano-enclosures, or for creating precise thermal gradients in highly insulated wooden vivariums. Despite its lower power consumption, this 35W lamp outperforms standard 50W or 60W incandescent bulbs by delivering a much higher concentration of Infrared-A and Infrared-B. These wavelengths are essential for captive reptiles as they penetrate deep into the muscle tissue, mimicking the way a wild animal would soak up energy from the sun to power its metabolism and digestion. This lamp is an excellent choice for species that require a moderate basking temperature or for those housed in environments where heat retention is high. It is particularly popular for Leopard Geckos, young snakes, or smaller arboreal species where a higher wattage bulb might quickly cause the enclosure to overheat. The internal parabolic reflector is precision-engineered to project a crisp, bright light and a focused heat beam directly into the basking area, ensuring that energy is not wasted heating the air at the top of the tank but is instead delivered where the animal needs it most
