Zoo Med Professional Series Dimmable Clamp Lamp

Reptiles, being ectothermic creatures, rely on external heat sources like sunlight to regulate their body temperature. This warmth is crucial for digestion, maintaining bodily functions, and overall well-being. As they cannot generate their own heat, providing the right temperature through heat lamps is essential for their care.

The Zoo Med Professional Series Dimmable Clamp Lamp offers a versatile solution for managing both heat and light levels for reptile bulbs. Equipped with an inline dimmer switch, it allows you to seamlessly adjust the output from off to maximum power or any level in between. Its robust ceramic socket supports bulbs up to 150 watts with ease.

With dimming capabilities, you can fine-tune the temperature gradient in your reptile’s habitat. Lower the heat on warmer days or increase it during cooler periods, or even adjust seasonally without the need to swap bulbs.

Maximum bulb wattage: 150w

Lamp diameter: 8.5"

Usage Instructions:

Securely install the bulb into the socket. Connect the cord to a power outlet or timer if required, and test the on/off switch to confirm the bulb operates correctly. Position the lamp on the mesh screen of your terrarium, placing it over the basking spot at one end of the enclosure to establish a proper temperature gradient. Activate the lamp and use the dimmer to set the desired basking temperature.

For optimal temperature monitoring, pair this lamp with the Zoo Med ReptiTemp Digital Infrared Thermometer to ensure your reptile’s basking area maintains the ideal temperature for their specific needs.
