Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp 20W – Basking Lamp – Twin Pack

Arcadia 20W Mini Halogen Heat Lamp – Twin Pack provides two compact, energy-efficient basking lamps designed to deliver bright, bioavailable Infrared-A rich heat for reptiles in smaller enclosures. Arcadia describes the 20W model as a mini halogen designed to run at full capacity while maintaining high levels of usable IR-A throughout the day.

Each 2 inch / 50mm lamp uses a wide-beam flood design with a frosted lens and built-in metal reflector to help spread heat and light smoothly into the basking zone. Arcadia positions this new 20W lamp as an energy-efficient alternative to 50W tungsten flood lamps in suitable setups.

Why Choose the Twin Pack?

The twin pack is ideal for keepers who want a spare lamp ready to hand, run multiple matching enclosures, or simply buy more economically for regular reptile heating use. It offers the same compact footprint and IR-A rich daytime heat as the single lamp, but in a more convenient two-lamp format.

This makes it especially useful for smaller vivariums where full-size basking bulbs may be too powerful or oversized, while still delivering bright, efficient halogen heat across the basking area.

Key Benefits:

• Twin pack of 20W mini halogen basking lamps
• IR-A rich heat output to support natural basking
• Wide beam angle for an even basking area
• Frosted lens for smoother heat and light spread
• Built-in metal reflector for efficient basking-zone delivery
• Standard E27 screw fitting
• Convenient multi-lamp pack for regular use or spare stock
