Reptile heat lamp Hagen Exo Terra PT2140 150 W, 2680 K, 1 pc

Hagen Exo Terra PT2140 150 W heat lamp is a specialized basking spot lamp designed for use in reptile terrariums. It produces a concentrated beam of heat and light with a colour temperature of 2680 K and is intended to create a warm, focused basking area while also contributing to ambient enclosure temperatures. The lamp delivers increased intensity in the beam to support thermoregulation and includes UVA emissions that can influence reptile behaviour and physiological processes.

Advantages

The lamp’s optical design increases heat and light within the beam by approximately 35%, allowing the bulb to be positioned at a greater distance from the basking site while maintaining effective surface temperatures. Its 150 W power output provides a stable source of heat suitable for creating thermal gradients. The presence of UVA light supports natural behavioural cues and can help stimulate activity and breeding-related responses in captive reptiles.

Suitable for

• Establishing a focused basking spot for diurnal reptiles
• Creating a thermal gradient within a terrarium
• Supplementing ambient enclosure temperature for reptiles and amphibians
• Supporting behavioural and physiological needs through UVA exposure

Key specifications

• Power: 150 W
• Colour temperature: 2680 K
• Function: concentrated basking spot lamp with increased beam intensity
• Effect on beam: approximately 35% increase in light and heat intensity in the beam
• Energy consumption class: G; consumption approx. 150 kWh per 1000 hours

How to use

Install the Hagen Exo Terra PT2140 lamp in a suitable terrarium fixture or dome, ensuring the lamp is securely mounted and positioned so the concentrated beam targets the intended basking area. Adjust the distance between the lamp and the basking surface to achieve the desired temperature at the spot, using a reliable surface thermometer or infrared temperature gun to measure basking-site temperatures. Combine with appropriate ambient heating or shading to establish a thermal gradient; if needed, pair with night heat or infrared sources to provide a 24-hour temperature cycle.

Usage recommendations

Monitor surface and air temperatures regularly to maintain species-appropriate basking temperatures and avoid overheating. Use fixtures and mounts rated for the lamp’s power, allow adequate ventilation around the bulb, and replace the lamp according to manufacturer guidance or when light and heat output decline.
