Arcadia Ceramic Lamp Holder & Bracket – E27 Reptile Lamp Fitting

The Arcadia Ceramic Lamp Holder & Bracket is a versatile E27 fitting designed for safely mounting compact lamps, ceramic heaters and heat bulbs inside wooden vivariums. Its simple bracket design allows secure installation while keeping the fitting neatly positioned within the enclosure.

Made from high-quality, heat-resistant materials, this ceramic lamp holder is rated for use with most reptile heat sources up to 250W. The integrated in-line power switch offers convenient on/off control, giving keepers easy access to lighting or heating control without adjusting mains switches.

Safety & Thermostat Guidance:

• Fix the bracket securely to a wooden vivarium using appropriate screws.
