HeatingLux Thermostatic Reptile Heat Lamp

If you need to create a reliable basking zone or regain control of enclosure temperatures, this reptile heat lamp with built-in thermostat and timer helps maintain consistent conditions for tortoises, bearded dragons, geckos and snakes. It accepts standard E27 heating bulbs up to a 300W maximum, so you can use incandescent, halogen or ceramic heat emitters according to your setup. Bulb not included. Not compatible with compact or spiral UVB bulbs.

The thermostat lets you set and hold temperatures between 4°C and 55°C and shows an “EH” error if the unit exceeds 65°C, at which point it shuts down and locks controls until power is cycled. The programmable timer offers always-on or 2, 4, 8 or 12 hour cycles to replicate daylight patterns. A high-reflectivity aluminium shade focuses heat into the vivarium while a thermochromic sticker provides a quick visual overheat warning. For best results place the temperature probe near the intended basking spot, suspend the unit with the included hook or sit it on a mesh lid, and choose a bulb type that matches whether you want visible light plus heat or heat-only at night.
