Arcadia Ceramic Lamp Holder Bracket Pro – E27 Heat Lamp Fitting

The Arcadia Ceramic Lamp Holder Bracket Pro is a durable, easy-to-install E27 fitting designed for safely mounting heat and basking lamps inside a vivarium. Its compact “top hat” design makes excellent use of space while providing a secure fixing point for a wide range of Arcadia and other compatible heat sources.

Made from high-quality heat-resistant components, this ceramic lamp holder is rated for use with most heat sources up to 250W. An integral in-line power switch offers convenient on/off control, making it simple to manage your enclosure’s heating and lighting without accessing the mains socket each time.

When To Use:

Use this fitting whenever you need a safe, fixed-position mount for heat or basking lamps inside a wooden or solid-sided vivarium. It is ideal for installations where you require a neat, permanent lamp position rather than a clamp lamp or free-standing fixture.

Safety & Thermostat Guidance:

All heat sources must be installed securely and controlled with a suitable thermostat to prevent overheating and protect both animals and keepers. The lamp holder should be fixed firmly to a suitable surface using appropriate screws (not included) and used in combination with a compatible heat lamp guard or safety cage.

Always follow manufacturer instructions, position the lamp at the correct distance for your species and check temperatures using a reliable thermometer. Never leave new heating installations untested—run the system for 24–48 hours before introducing animals.
