Heat Bulb Hagen Exo Terra Daytime Heat 100W — reptile ceramic infrared heating lamp

Hagen Exo Terra Daytime Heat 100W is a ceramic infrared daytime heat bulb designed for reptile enclosures. It provides consistent radiant warmth without strong visible light, creating localized heating zones for basking and thermoregulation. The 100-watt output supplies stable infrared heat that supports digestion and daytime activity in diurnal reptile species while maintaining a natural-looking enclosure environment.

Advantages

The ceramic infrared design emits steady radiant heat with minimal visible light, allowing reptiles to bask without exposure to bright lamps. The heat bulb produces targeted warmth suited to localized basking spots, helping to establish temperature gradients across the terrarium. Its durable ceramic construction resists high operating temperatures and is suitable for use with heat-resistant ceramic fixtures. The continuous infrared output supports physiological processes such as digestion and normal daytime behaviour.

Suitable for

• Diurnal reptiles requiring daytime basking zones
• Terrariums needing localized radiant heat without bright visible light
• Enclosures where a heat gradient is required for thermoregulation
• Use with ceramic heat fixtures rated for high-temperature infrared bulbs

Key specifications

• Wattage: 100 W
• Type: Ceramic infrared daytime heat bulb
• Output: Radiant heat with low visible light emission
• Intended use: Daytime heating and basking support for reptiles
• Compatibility: Designed for heat-resistant ceramic fixtures and appropriate lamp holders

How to use

Install the heat bulb in a compatible heat-resistant ceramic fixture or lamp holder positioned above the basking area. Place the fixture at a distance that produces the desired surface temperature for the species—measure temperatures with an accurate thermometer or infrared surface reader to establish appropriate basking and cool zones. Operate the bulb during the animals' daytime cycle to maintain natural activity and digestion rhythms. Ensure the bulb is securely mounted and that there is no contact with flammable materials.

Usage recommendations

Monitor enclosure temperatures regularly and adjust fixture height or wattage to maintain species-specific basking temperatures. Use with a reliable thermostat or timer to prevent overheating and to replicate natural day/night cycles. Avoid direct human eye exposure to intense infrared heat sources for prolonged periods and replace the bulb according to observed performance decline or manufacturer guidance.
