Product Information
Full details
The Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp is an essential lighting solution for reptile and amphibian keepers who want to observe their nocturnal pets without interfering with their natural biological rhythms. By emitting a soft blue light, this 100 W bulb provides just enough heat to maintain tropical nighttime temperatures while allowing for safe viewing after dark. While it excels at mimicking moonlight and encouraging natural breeding behaviors, it is important to note that it is designed specifically for supplemental nighttime warmth and should be used in conjunction with daytime-specific lighting for a complete habitat cycle.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the blue light harmful to my reptile's sleep?
No, the blue light is designed to mimic natural moonlight and is far less intrusive than white light, allowing reptiles to maintain their natural rest cycles.
Can this bulb be used as a primary daytime heat source?
No, this is specifically intended for nighttime use. You should use a dedicated daytime heat lamp or UVB lamp during the day.
How often should I replace the bulb?
While the bulb does not have a set expiration date, performance may decline over time. Replace it if you notice the bulb dimming or if the filament burns out.
Is this safe for high-humidity terrariums?
Yes, but ensure your fixture is rated for use with reptiles and protected from direct water spray from misting systems.
Does this provide UVB radiation?
No, this is a heat and light-emitting bulb only and does not provide UVB radiation.
Can I use this with a thermostat?
Yes, using a compatible reptile-safe thermostat will help you maintain the ideal temperature range and prevent overheating.
Troubleshooting
Bulb fails to turn on
Check the power supply and ensure the bulb is screwed firmly into the socket. Verify the socket is rated for 100 W or higher.
Visible light flickers
Ensure the lamp is fully tightened in the fixture; loose connections can cause intermittent power delivery.
Enclosure is too cool
Verify the wattage is appropriate for the terrarium size. Consider adding a second lamp or moving the fixture slightly closer if the mesh screen allows.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your bulb, screw it securely into a compatible ceramic socket heat fixture. Ensure the fixture is mounted safely above the terrarium mesh screen to prevent direct contact with pets or flammable materials. Since this is a 100 W bulb, verify that your light fixture is rated to handle at least 100 W of power to prevent overheating the socket. For care, always allow the bulb to cool completely before cleaning or moving the fixture. If the glass surface becomes dusty, wipe it gently with a dry, soft cloth. Never spray water directly on the bulb while it is in operation, as the thermal shock could cause the glass to crack.
