Full details
The Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp is an ideal solution for reptile and amphibian owners who want to observe their nocturnal pets without disrupting natural activity patterns. By simulating moonlight, it provides just enough illumination for nighttime viewing while maintaining tropical temperatures, though users should ensure it is used with appropriate lamp fixtures to avoid overheating or damage to terrarium surfaces.

What is the wattage of this specific bulb?

Can this be used with a timer?

Troubleshooting
Lamp flickers when turned on
Ensure the bulb is screwed firmly into the socket and check that the fixture's internal contact point is clean.
Bulb lifespan is shorter than expected
Avoid touching the glass with bare fingers, as oils can cause hot spots; use a clean cloth or glove during installation.
Terrarium temperature is too high
Increase the distance between the lamp and the enclosure top, or use a dimmable thermostat to regulate the heat output.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, screw the bulb into a compatible ceramic socket fixture—the Exo Terra Glow Light is recommended. Ensure the fixture is mounted securely above the terrarium mesh screen to maintain the proper distance from the substrate.

Care Instructions:
- Always turn the lamp off and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before handling or removing it from the fixture.
- Wipe the glass surface with a soft, dry cloth periodically to remove dust, which can reduce light output and heat efficiency.
- Never spray water directly on the bulb while it is hot, as this can cause the glass to crack.
