Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp 35W – Basking Lamp

Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp – 35 W is a powerful, energy-efficient wide-beam basking lamp designed to deliver bright, Infrared-A rich heat with exceptional colour rendition and long-lasting performance.

This robust PAR20 halogen lamp features a frosted lens, hard-glass splash-resistant construction and an internal metal reflector for optimal light and heat delivery to the basking zone. It emits no UV and must be paired with a suitable Arcadia UVB system for complete reptile lighting.

Key Benefits:

• Bright, Infrared-A rich heat output for strong natural basking
• Frosted lens and internal reflector create a smooth, wide flood beam
• Energy-efficient halogen design can replace higher-wattage tungsten lamps
• Excellent colour rendition for natural enclosure appearance
• Dimmable and compatible with standard E27 reptile lamp holders

When To Use:

Use this lamp when you need a powerful, efficient and bright basking source with a wide heat spread. Ideal for reptiles that use high daytime temperatures and require strong surface heating, such as desert or sun-loving species.

Suitable For:

Suitable for bearded dragons, uromastyx, monitors, blue tongue skinks, basilisks, chameleons, water dragons, and other diurnal reptiles that need intense basking zones with stable, bright daytime heat.
