Arcadia Solar Basking Spotlight 75W – Heat Lamp

Arcadia Solar Basking Spotlight – 75 W provides a tight, focused beam of radiant heat, delivering an intense basking zone for reptiles that rely on high surface temperatures.

This spotlight is ideal for desert species and for taller enclosures where a concentrated heat zone is required. It produces a warm-colour output along with supplementary UVA to support natural behaviour, wellbeing and colour vision. Use alongside a species-appropriate Arcadia UVB system for complete, biologically accurate lighting.

Key Benefits:

• Tight, focused heat beam for intense basking zones
• Warm colour output that encourages natural basking behaviour
• Provides supplementary UVA for wellbeing and colour vision
• Compatible with dimming thermostats for safe control
• E27 screw fitting – suitable for standard reptile lamp holders
