Arcadia Halogen Heat Lamp – 100 W is a powerful, energy-efficient halogen basking bulb designed to deliver bright, Infrared-A rich heat with exceptional colour rendition and long-lasting performance. This robust PAR38 halogen lamp features a frosted lens, hard-glass splash-resistant construction and an internal metal reflector for optimal light and heat delivery to the basking zone. This reptile basking bulb emits no UV and must be paired with a suitable Arcadia UVB system for complete reptile lighting. Key Benefits: Bright Infrared-A rich heat output for strong natural basking zones PAR38 wide-beam design with smooth, even heat distribution Energy-efficient halogen technology outperforms tungsten bulbs Dimmable and compatible with ceramic E27 lamp holders Frosted lens and splash-resistant hard-glass construction When To Use: Use this lamp when a powerful, bright and efficient basking source is needed. Ideal for large vivaria, tall enclosures and species requiring high daytime basking temperatures. Suitable For: Suitable for bearded dragons, monitors, water dragons, uromastyx, blue tongue skinks, tegu juveniles, basilisks, chameleons and other diurnal reptiles that depend on strong thermal gradients. Technical Specifications: Wattage: 100 W Bulb Type: Halogen flood Lens: Frosted PAR: PAR38 Kelvin: 2750 K warm colour Voltage: 230–240 V UVA/UVB Output: None (heat only) Fitting: E27 screw fitting Construction: Hard glass, splash resistant Safety & Thermostat Guidance: This lamp must be used with a dimming thermostat to regulate heat output and avoid overheating. A heat lamp guard is essential to protect your reptile from accidental contact. Required for safe use: Dimming Thermostat – required for safe temperature control of basking heat lamps. Heat-rated fittings – suitable ceramic E27 lamp holders and protective heat lamp guards. Best Practice Installation: Install vertically in a ceramic E27 heat-rated lamp holder Mount above a dedicated basking platform for optimal heat transfer Pair with an Arcadia UVB system suitable for your species Avoid angled installation to maintain beam efficiency Monitor basking and cool-end temperatures daily Frequently Asked Questions: Does the Arcadia Halogen 100W lamp produce UV? No. It produces heat and visible light only. A UVB system must be used alongside it. Is the 100W halogen lamp dimmable? Yes. It is fully compatible with dimming thermostats to maintain stable basking temperatures. What does PAR38 mean? PAR38 refers to the reflector size and shape, producing a wide, powerful beam ideal for larger enclosures. Is the lamp splash resistant? Yes. The hard-glass construction and frosted lens provide splash-resistant durability. Can this lamp replace higher-wattage tungsten bulbs? Yes. Halogen technology is more efficient and often outperforms tungsten lamps with much higher wattages.
