Reptile Basking Bundle – 100W Halogen & Dimming Thermostat

The Reptile Basking Bundle – 100W Halogen & Dimming Thermostat provides a complete, safe and efficient daytime basking setup for reptiles that require strong visible-light heat. This all-in-one bundle includes the Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp 100W, Arcadia Ceramic Clamp Lamp 20cm – Graphite, and the HabiStat Dimming Thermostat Pro.

This bundle is ideal for keepers who want a professionally matched basking setup without guessing which lamp, fitting and thermostat work together. The 100W halogen provides bright basking heat, the 20cm graphite clamp lamp gives you a heat-rated ceramic fitting with reflective dome and safety cage, and the dimming thermostat is the correct control type for light-emitting heat sources.

Bundle Includes:

Why Choose This Bundle?

• All components correctly matched for halogen basking use
• Dimming thermostat gives smooth, stable heat control
• 100W halogen creates a strong daytime basking zone
• Large 20cm reflective dome helps direct heat downward efficiently
• Integrated safety cage helps reduce contact risk around hot lamps

Suitable For:

Diurnal reptiles that require bright daytime basking heat in open-top or well-ventilated setups, including:

• Tortoises
• Bearded dragons
• Uromastyx
• Blue tongue skinks
• Other reptiles that need a defined basking zone with separate UVB lighting

Always check species-specific thermal requirements, enclosure size and basking distance.

How It Works:

The thermostat monitors temperature via the probe and gently dims power to the halogen lamp to maintain your chosen basking temperature. This reduces temperature swings and avoids harsh on/off cycling that is unsuitable for light-emitting basking lamps. The halogen produces bright, wide-beam radiant heat, while the reflective graphite dome helps focus that heat into the basking area.

Safety & Thermostat Guidance:

• Always mount the clamp lamp securely and maintain correct clearance
• Use the lamp vertically in a heat-rated ceramic fitting
• Keep the safety cage fitted wherever animal contact is possible
• Position the thermostat probe at the basking zone, not touching the bulb
• Test temperatures for 24–48 hours before introducing animals
• Use this as a daytime basking heat source only
• Pair with a suitable UVB system, as the halogen lamp does not provide UVB

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does this bundle include everything needed for basking heat?
Yes. It includes the halogen basking lamp, 20cm graphite clamp lamp and the correct dimming thermostat for overhead basking heat. For a complete reptile lighting setup, you will still need species-appropriate UVB.

Is the thermostat correct for halogen basking lamps?
Yes. The HabiStat Dimming Thermostat Pro is specifically designed for light-emitting heat sources such as halogen basking lamps.

Can this bundle be used in an open-top tortoise table or basking setup?
Yes. The 20cm graphite clamp lamp is well suited to open-top basking setups when mounted securely with correct distance and clearance.

Does the halogen lamp produce UVB?
No. It provides heat and visible light only, so it should be used alongside a separate UVB source.

Can this bundle be used at night?
No. Halogen lamps emit visible light and are intended for daytime basking rather than night-time heating.

Is the safety cage included?
Yes. The Arcadia 20cm graphite clamp lamp includes a removable protective mesh safety cage.
