Reptile heat lamp Hagen Exo Terra PT2188 13 W, UV light, 1 pc

The Hagen Exo Terra PT2188 reptile heat lamp is a 13 W single-unit lamp that delivers localized radiant heat together with ultraviolet light output suitable for terrarium use. Designed to create warm basking spots, this lamp supports reptile thermoregulation and activity by providing both heat and UV in a compact format intended for placement in captive environments where a focused heat source and UV exposure are required.

Advantages

This 13 W lamp integrates heat and UV output in one concise unit, allowing simultaneous provision of a warm surface and ultraviolet radiation for reptiles. The compact design is suitable for localized placement to establish a reliable basking area. The UV component helps support natural behaviours related to thermoregulation and activity cycles, while the radiant heat element creates a controlled warm zone within the terrarium.

Suitable for

• Creating a basking spot for small to medium terrarium reptiles
• Supplementing ambient heating in reptiles that require localized warmth
• Use in terrariums where combined heat and UV are needed in a single fixture

Key specifications

• Power: 13 W
• Light type: Heat lamp with ultraviolet output
• Unit quantity: 1 piece
• Intended use: Localized radiant heat and UV for terrarium basking areas

How to use

Install the Hagen Exo Terra PT2188 lamp in a suitable, secure fixture designed for reptile heat lamps, positioned to create a clear basking area while avoiding direct contact with animals and flammable materials. Place the lamp at an appropriate distance above the basking surface to achieve the desired temperature gradient; verify temperatures with a surface thermometer and adjust height or fixture as necessary. Maintain a day/night cycle consistent with the species’ needs and replace the lamp according to the manufacturer’s recommended service life or sooner if output declines.

Usage recommendations

Use this lamp as part of a terrarium heating plan that includes ambient temperatures, hide options, and a temperature gradient so animals can behaviorally thermoregulate. If the terrarium has a dense mesh or screen, check that sufficient UV and heat reach the basking zone; adjust lamp distance or type if necessary. Monitor reptile behaviour and physiological signs to ensure proper thermal and UV exposure.
