Heat Lamp Bulb Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot NANO 25W – infrared heat bulb for terrariums

Exo Terra Infrared Basking Spot NANO 25W is an infrared heat lamp bulb engineered for small terrariums and compact reptile enclosures. The NANO size and 25-watt power provide localized radiant heat for a defined basking area without producing visible light, enabling nocturnal heating and helping reptiles and amphibians maintain optimal body temperature in tight setups.

Advantages

This infrared heat bulb delivers focused warmth with minimal space requirements, making it suitable for nano and desktop terrariums. By emitting heat in the infrared spectrum rather than visible light, it supports nocturnal temperature regulation while avoiding disturbance to light-dark cycles. The small form factor simplifies installation in confined fixtures and near hides, and the controlled 25W output offers effective, energy-efficient supplemental heating for species that require a low to moderate basking temperature.

Suitable for

• Small and nano terrariums where visible light at night should be avoided
• Nocturnal reptile and amphibian species that need supplemental heat
• Localized basking spots or hides in compact enclosures
• Temporary heating during cool nights or transport in small containers

Key specifications

• Wattage: 25 W
• Light type: Infrared radiant heat (no visible light)
• Size: NANO (suitable for compact fixtures and small enclosures)
• Intended use: Supplemental nocturnal and basking heat for terrariums
• Form factor: Small bulb designed for focused heat spots

How to use

Install the Infrared Basking Spot NANO 25W into a compatible ceramic or heat-rated lamp holder positioned above the designated basking area or inside a secure lamp guard. Place the bulb at an appropriate distance from the animal and enclosure materials to achieve the required surface temperature; monitor temperatures with a reliable thermometer or infrared surface sensor. Use the bulb primarily during the animals’ inactive or nocturnal period to provide supplemental warmth, and ensure the fixture is secured and protected to prevent direct contact with the animals.

Usage recommendations

Regularly check enclosure temperatures and the bulb’s condition. Combine this infrared heat source with daytime lighting and a temperature gradient to allow animals to thermoregulate. Do not use the bulb in sealed fixtures or where it may contact flammable materials; replace the bulb if damaged or discolored.
