Product Information
Full details
The Komodo Dome Clamp Lamp is designed for reptile keepers seeking a versatile and effective lighting solution for their vivariums. Its key benefit lies in its highly reflective interior, maximizing the output of essential UVB and UVA light from compatible bulbs. A potential caveat is its 60W maximum bulb capacity, which may not be sufficient for all species requiring higher heat or light intensity. This lamp features a secure clamp for easy attachment to various enclosures and accepts standard E27 screw-fitting bulbs.

FAQs
What is the maximum wattage bulb I can use with this lamp?
The Komodo Dome Clamp Lamp is designed for bulbs up to a maximum of 60 watts.
What type of bulb fitting does this lamp use?
This lamp uses a standard E27 screw fitting.
Is this lamp suitable for high-heat species?
It can be used for species requiring moderate heat, but for high-heat requirements, it may need to be paired with a separate, higher-wattage heat source.
How do I clean the inside of the lamp?
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the reflective interior. Avoid using water or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the reflective surface.
What are the dimensions of the lamp?
The lamp is approximately 18cm in height and 14cm in diameter.
Can I use this lamp with a UVB bulb?
Yes, this lamp is ideal for use with UVB bulbs, as its reflective design helps to maximize the output of UVB rays.
How securely does the clamp attach?
The clamp is designed to provide a secure grip on the edges of most standard vivariums. Ensure the edge is relatively flat for optimal grip.
Troubleshooting
Lamp does not turn on
Ensure the lamp is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check that the bulb is screwed in correctly and is not burnt out. Verify the power switch on the cord (if applicable) is in the 'on' position.
Bulb is not staying securely in the socket
Gently check the metal contacts inside the E27 socket for any debris or damage. Ensure the bulb is screwed in straight and firmly, but do not overtighten.
Visible damage to the clamp or cord
Discontinue use immediately. Inspect for fraying wires or cracked plastic. Replace the unit if any damage is found to ensure safety.
Reduced light output over time
Clean the reflective interior of the lamp with a soft, dry cloth. Dust accumulation can significantly reduce light output. If the bulb is old, consider replacing it, as bulb output naturally degrades.
