Reptile Dome reflector lamp housing Exo Terra, size L, for bulbs up to 160W, 21.5 x 23.5 x 21.5 cm

The Exo Terra Reptile Dome reflector lamp housing in size L is an aluminum dome designed for use in reptile terrariums. Measuring 21.5 x 23.5 x 21.5 cm, the dome accepts bulbs up to 160W and is intended to provide directed light and heat to create localized basking spots. The housing supports standard lamp sockets and is suitable for use with basking and heat bulbs to help establish temperature gradients within an enclosure.

Advantages

The aluminum reflector construction offers efficient reflection of light and heat toward a target area, helping to focus warmth and illumination where reptiles need it most. The L-size dome accommodates higher-wattage bulbs up to 160W, enabling stronger heat output when required. Its shape and finish are designed to direct energy downward and minimize stray light, simplifying placement for creating consistent basking zones.

Suitable for

• Creating localized basking spots for reptiles that require concentrated heat
• Use with ceramic heat emitters or incandescent basking bulbs compatible with standard sockets
• Supplementing ambient terrarium heating to establish a temperature gradient

Key specifications

• Material: Aluminum reflector housing
• Size: L — 21.5 x 23.5 x 21.5 cm
• Maximum bulb power: up to 160 W
• Compatible with standard lamp sockets designed for terrarium lamps
• Reflector type: dome-shaped for directed light and heat

How to use

Install the Reptile Dome in the terrarium so that the reflected light and heat are directed toward the intended basking area, ensuring a safe distance between the bulb and any flammable materials or enclosure surfaces. Fit a bulb rated no higher than 160W and use an appropriate fixture or lamp holder compatible with the dome. Position the dome and test temperatures with a reliable thermometer to confirm desired basking temperatures and to establish a thermal gradient across the enclosure.

Usage recommendations

Use with bulbs suitable for reptile care, such as basking or heat bulbs, and monitor surface and air temperatures regularly. Match bulb wattage and placement to the species’ thermal requirements, and ensure secure mounting and protection to prevent contact between the animal and the hot fixture.
