The Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp 75W is a premium heating solution designed for reptile keepers who need high-performance warmth in larger enclosures. Combining the powerful output of a traditional basking bulb with the efficiency of halogen technology, this lamp delivers natural, infrared-A-rich warmth that promotes healthy thermoregulation and active behaviour.
Engineered for reliability and performance, the Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp 75W is ideal for species that require intense basking zones to thrive. This includes bearded dragons, monitors, iguanas, blue-tongue skinks, water dragons, and other larger reptiles that rely on consistent surface heat for proper digestion, movement, and energy regulation.
What makes halogen heat superior is its ability to emit infrared-A (IR-A) — the most bioavailable form of radiant heat. IR-A penetrates deep into tissue and muscle, offering warmth that’s absorbed more effectively by the body compared to standard bulbs that only heat surface layers or the surrounding air. This mimics the effect of natural sunlight and encourages your reptiles to bask instinctively, just as they would in the wild.
With 75 watts of power, this Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp 75W is capable of producing the same level of focused heat as a traditional 125W tungsten bulb. This means lower energy consumption, reduced running costs, and a more environmentally friendly heating option. The lamp is suitable for use in wooden vivariums, glass terrariums, or mesh-top enclosures, especially those requiring strong temperature gradients across basking zones and cooler resting areas.
The built-in metal reflector of the Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp 75W directs the beam of heat precisely downward, allowing you to create a specific basking area within your enclosure without significantly raising the ambient temperature. This helps establish a proper thermal gradient, giving your reptile the choice to warm up or cool down as needed. It’s also compatible with dimming thermostats, offering full control over temperature levels and helping to maintain a stable environment day and night.
The frosted glass finish of the Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp 75W provides gentle light diffusion, reducing harsh glare inside the enclosure. This improves visual comfort for both you and your pet while maintaining natural lighting conditions. Combined with a UVB source—such as the Arcadia ProT5 or ShadeDweller system—you can easily create a complete heating and lighting setup that supports vitamin D3 synthesis, calcium metabolism, and long-term bone health.
Because this bulb focuses purely on heat and visible light, it does not emit UVB. For reptiles that require UV exposure (such as dragons and skinks), it’s essential to pair this heat source with the appropriate UVB tube or lamp based on their specific needs. This separation of heat and UV light allows for more flexibility in enclosure design and better customisation of light cycles.
Built from toughened insulating glass, the Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp 75W is more durable than standard basking bulbs and is designed to resist thermal shock. Its long operating life and resistance to wear make it suitable for daily use in demanding environments, such as breeding facilities, reptile rooms, or large display enclosures.
