Reptile Heat Lamp Exo Terra PT2195 25 W, 2500 K, 1 pc

Exo Terra PT2195 25 W, 2500 K reptile heat lamp is a focused spot lamp engineered for terrarium use. It delivers directed thermal output and broad-spectrum daylight with a neodymium sleeve to support plant photosynthesis and provide UVA radiation that contributes to reptiles' physiological well‑being. Supplied as a single unit, this lamp is intended to create localized basking sites and defined heat gradients to help maintain species-specific temperatures and natural behaviors.

Advantages

The lamp combines a concentrated 25 W heat source with a 2500 K colour temperature to produce a warm, directed beam that increases ambient air temperature and forms reliable basking spots. The broad-spectrum output supports plant growth inside planted terrariums, while the UVA component helps stimulate natural activity and breeding behaviour in reptiles. Its spot design and neodymium sleeve improve light directionality and colour rendering for a natural appearance in the enclosure.

Suitable for

• Creating basking areas for diurnal reptiles and amphibians
• Establishing localized heat gradients within a terrarium
• Supplementing planted terrariums to support photosynthesis
• Combining with other day or night heat sources for a 24‑hour thermal cycle

Key specifications

• Rated power: 25 W
• Colour temperature: 2500 K (warm white)
• Light type: broad‑spectrum daylight spot with Neodymium sleeve
• Radiation: includes UVA to support reptile physiology
• Output characteristics: focused beam for directed heating and basking

How to use

Install the Exo Terra PT2195 into a compatible lamp holder positioned above the desired basking location. Adjust height and angle to obtain the appropriate basking temperature and gradient for the species housed in the terrarium. Use a reliable thermometer or infrared thermometer to measure surface and air temperatures in the basking zone and at the cool end of the enclosure, and modify lamp distance accordingly to achieve the target temperature range.

Usage recommendations

For balanced environmental control, combine this spot lamp with additional daytime or night heat lamps to create a consistent 24‑hour temperature cycle. Monitor animals for signs of overheating or stress, ensure secure lamp mounting to prevent contact with animals or enclosure materials, and replace the lamp according to manufacturer guidance or when light output visibly declines.
