The Arcadia Ceramic Clamp Lamp 14cm – Stainless Steel is a heavy-duty reptile lighting fitting designed for the safe use of high-output heat lamps, mercury vapour bulbs and compact UVB lamps. It provides a secure, stable mounting solution for creating controlled basking zones in open-top enclosures or suitably ventilated vivariums.
Built with a heat-resistant ceramic lamp holder and a highly reflective metal dome, this clamp lamp helps direct heat and light downward into the enclosure, improving basking efficiency and reducing wasted energy. The stainless steel finish offers a subtle, modern appearance that blends neatly into domestic and display environments.
Clamp lamps are commonly used where flexible lamp positioning is required, particularly with basking lamps and mercury vapour bulbs that must be mounted vertically and at specific distances. The Arcadia clamp system allows precise positioning while maintaining stability and safety.
Important installation guidance: High-output heat and mercury vapour lamps should always be mounted securely, with appropriate clearance and ventilation. Protective cages are strongly recommended to reduce the risk of animal contact with hot bulbs.

maybe I was being a bit thick but I couldn’t figure out how to assemble it at first! Lucky the instructions can be downloaded and the pictures made sense. Once set up a cracking bit of equipment which I use on my torts table and with a deep heat projector fitted.
