FAQs
What is the maximum wattage bulb I can use with this fixture?
The Exo Terra Deep Dome Nano fixture is typically rated for a maximum of 40W. Always check the specific product label or manual for the exact wattage limit.
Do I need a separate heat lamp and UVB lamp?
This fixture is designed to accommodate both heat and UVB bulbs, but you will need to purchase them separately. You can use a combination bulb or two separate bulbs depending on your pet's needs and the fixture's capacity.
How close should the fixture be to my pet?
The distance depends on the type of bulb used and the specific needs of your reptile. Consult your reptile's care sheet and the bulb manufacturer's guidelines for recommended basking distances to ensure safety and effectiveness.
How often should I replace the UVB bulb?
UVB bulbs lose their UVB-emitting capabilities over time, even if they still produce light. It is generally recommended to replace UVB bulbs every 6 to 12 months, depending on the bulb type and manufacturer recommendations.
Can this fixture be used with a thermostat?
Yes, for heat bulbs, it is highly recommended to use a thermostat to regulate the temperature and maintain a safe basking spot. Connect the thermostat to the heat bulb's power cord.
Is this fixture suitable for larger terrariums?
No, the Deep Dome Nano fixture is specifically designed for compact Nano and Mini terrariums. For larger enclosures, you will need a larger dome fixture.
Troubleshooting
Fixture does not turn on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check that the bulb is screwed in properly and is not burnt out. Verify that the bulb is within the fixture's wattage limits.
Low heat or light output
The bulb may be nearing the end of its lifespan and needs replacement. Ensure the dome is clean, as dust or debris can reduce output. Verify the bulb wattage is appropriate for the fixture and enclosure size.
UVB output seems insufficient
UVB bulbs degrade over time. Replace the UVB bulb according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule, typically every 6-12 months. Ensure the bulb is a UVB-specific type and that the fixture is not obstructed from the basking area.
