FAQs
Can I use this bulb during the day?
While it can provide heat during the day, it is specifically designed to simulate moonlight and will not provide the full-spectrum light needed for daytime reptile health.
Does this bulb emit UV light?
No, the Exo Terra Night Heat Lamp emits only heat and visible light; it does not produce UVA or UVB rays.
Will this light disturb my pet's sleep?
The soft blue light is designed to mimic natural moonlight, which is generally not bright enough to interfere with the circadian rhythms of nocturnal species.
Is it safe to use with a thermostat?
Yes, using a thermostat is recommended to ensure your terrarium maintains a consistent temperature and to prevent overheating.
How long does this bulb last?
Bulb lifespan depends on usage hours and environmental factors, but it is built to be a durable solution for regular terrarium use.
Troubleshooting
Bulb does not illuminate
Check that the bulb is screwed firmly into the socket and ensure the power cord is properly plugged into a functional outlet.
Bulb flickers
Check for loose connections in the fixture or ensure the voltage in your home is stable; if flickering persists, the bulb filament may be failing.
Terrarium temperature is too high
Increase the distance between the lamp and the terrarium mesh or use a dimmable thermostat to regulate heat output.
