Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp – 75 W is a powerful, bright and energy-efficient halogen basking lamp designed to deliver Infrared-A rich heat with excellent colour rendition and a wide, naturalistic spread.
This robust PAR30 halogen lamp features a frosted lens, splash-resistant hard-glass construction and a built-in metal reflector that focuses heat and light directly into the basking zone. It emits no UV and must be paired with a suitable Arcadia UVB system for complete reptile lighting.
Key Benefits:
- Infrared-A rich heat output for strong, natural basking behaviour
- PAR30 wide-beam design creates a smooth, even basking zone
- Energy-efficient halogen lamp that outperforms standard tungsten bulbs
- Dimmable and compatible with E27 ceramic lamp holders
- Hard-glass, splash-resistant construction with frosted lens
When To Use:
Use this lamp when you need a powerful, bright basking source that provides concentrated, natural-feeling heat. Ideal for desert species, active diurnal reptiles and larger vivaria where strong basking intensity is required.
Suitable For:
Suitable for bearded dragons, uromastyx, monitors, blue tongue skinks, tegu juveniles, chameleons, basilisks, water dragons and any species requiring intense daytime basking temperatures.

Safety & Thermostat Guidance:
This lamp must be used with a dimming thermostat to regulate heat output and maintain safe basking temperatures. A heat lamp guard is essential to prevent accidental contact with the lamp.
Best Practice Installation:
- Install vertically in a ceramic E27 heat-rated lamp holder
- Position above a basking platform to create a defined hotspot
- Pair with a suitable Arcadia UVB system for complete lighting provision
- Avoid angled installation, which reduces beam efficiency
- Measure basking and cool-end temperatures daily
Frequently Asked Questions:
Does the Arcadia Halogen 75W lamp produce UV?
No. It produces heat and visible light only. UVB must be provided separately.
Is the 75W halogen lamp dimmable?
Yes. It is fully compatible with dimming thermostats for safe heat control.
What does PAR30 mean?
PAR30 refers to the reflector size and shape, indicating a wider, more powerful beam compared to PAR20 lamps.
Is the lamp splash resistant?
Yes. The hard-glass construction and frosted lens offer robust, splash-resistant performance.
Can this replace higher-wattage tungsten lamps?
Yes. Halogen technology delivers efficient Infrared-A heat, often outperforming traditional tungsten bulbs of higher wattage.
