Heat/Daylight Bulb Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot NANO 25 W for Terrariums

Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot NANO 25 W is a compact heat and daylight bulb designed for nano and small terrariums. Delivering 25 watts of combined heat and visible light in a natural daylight spectrum, this lamp creates a localized basking area to support thermoregulation and normal behavioral patterns in small reptiles and amphibians. The small form factor fits compatible mini fixtures and allows precise placement to establish a thermal gradient within limited enclosure space.

Advantages

The lamp produces a balanced daylight spectrum alongside focused infrared heat to simulate a natural sunlit basking spot while remaining compact enough for nano setups. Its 25 W output provides sufficient localized warming without overwhelming small habitats. The bulb's shape and size are optimized for mini fixtures, enabling simple installation and accurate targeting of the basking site. The combined light and heat help maintain activity cycles and encourage feeding and digestion in captive animals.

Suitable for

• Nano and small terrariums with limited space
• Creating a precise basking spot for small reptiles and amphibians
• Establishing thermal gradients within compact enclosures
• Use with compatible mini or low-profile fixtures

Key specifications

• Power: 25 W
• Light spectrum: daylight / natural visible spectrum
• Function: combined visible light and heat (basking spot)
• Form factor: compact bulb suitable for nano fixtures
• Intended use: indoor terrarium heating and lighting for small reptiles and amphibians

How to use

Install the bulb in a compatible mini or low-profile fixture positioned to create a distinct basking area. Place the fixture at a height that yields appropriate surface temperatures for the species housed; use an accurate thermometer at the basking surface to verify temperatures. Provide a cooler zone in the enclosure to allow behavioral thermoregulation. Operate the bulb on a daily cycle that mimics natural daylight hours, and switch it off at night unless species-specific night heat is required. Replace the bulb when light output or heat delivery noticeably decreases.

Usage recommendations

Measure basking surface temperatures and adjust fixture distance to achieve species-appropriate temperatures. Combine this daylight basking spot with non-UV heat sources or UV-emitting fixtures where UVB exposure is required for the species. Ensure the bulb is used with fixtures rated for the bulb type and wattage and allow proper ventilation to avoid overheating the fixture or enclosure.
