Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp – 100 W is a powerful PAR30 halogen basking lamp designed to deliver bright, Infrared-A rich heat with exceptional colour rendition and an efficient, wide-beam spread.
This robust, splash-resistant lamp features a frosted lens and a built-in metal reflector that focuses heat and light directly into the basking zone. It is more energy efficient than traditional tungsten lamps and produces a crisp, bright output ideal for active, diurnal reptiles. As with all halogen heat sources, it emits no UV and must be paired with a suitable Arcadia UVB system.
Key Benefits:
- Intense Infrared-A rich heat for strong natural basking behaviour
- PAR30 wide-beam design with smooth, even heat distribution
- Energy-efficient halogen technology outperforms tungsten bulbs
- Dimmable and compatible with ceramic E27 lamp holders
- Frosted lens and splash-resistant hard-glass construction
When To Use:
Use this lamp when a powerful, bright and efficient basking source is needed. Ideal for large vivaria, tall enclosures and species requiring high daytime basking temperatures.
Suitable For:
Suitable for bearded dragons, monitors, water dragons, uromastyx, blue tongue skinks, tegu juveniles, basilisks, chameleons and other diurnal reptiles that depend on strong thermal gradients.

- Mount above a dedicated basking platform for optimal heat transfer
- Pair with an Arcadia UVB system suitable for your species
- Avoid angled installation to maintain beam efficiency
- Monitor basking and cool-end temperatures daily
Frequently Asked Questions:
Does the Arcadia Halogen 100W lamp produce UV?
No. It produces heat and visible light only. A UVB system must be used alongside it.
Is the 100W halogen lamp dimmable?
Yes. It is fully compatible with dimming thermostats to maintain stable basking temperatures.
What does PAR30 mean?
PAR30 refers to the reflector size and shape, producing a wide, powerful beam ideal for larger enclosures.
Is the lamp splash resistant?
Yes. The hard-glass construction and frosted lens provide splash-resistant durability.
Can this lamp replace higher-wattage tungsten bulbs?
Yes. Halogen technology is more efficient and often outperforms tungsten lamps with much higher wattages.
Pete Dunn –
Well packaged bulb, quick delivery. With the colder weather I was struggling to get my bearded dragons viv up to temp but with the help of this Halogen it was up to temp within 15 mins. Be aware though the average life of the halogen is around 2000 hours and it HAS to be connected to a quality dimming thermostat.
