ReptiKing Reptile Light Fixture 5.5” Dome Heat Lamp Ceramic Socket

Description

Product Overview

The ReptiKing 5.5” dome heat lamp is engineered to deliver consistent, controllable warmth for a wide range of reptile and amphibian species. Constructed with a high‑temperature resistant ceramic socket, it safely accommodates E26 bulbs up to 150 watts, including basking bulbs, heat bulbs, and ceramic heat emitters. The dome itself is forged from an extra‑deep aluminum reflector that maximizes light diffusion and UVA output, creating a natural‑looking basking area that encourages healthy activity and metabolism.

Measuring 5.5 inches in diameter, the dome fits standard terrarium lids and can be mounted on the included 6 ft (180 cm) power cord, giving you flexibility in positioning the light source without the need for additional extensions. The on/off switch is conveniently placed on the cord, allowing quick adjustments without disturbing the enclosure. All components meet UL safety standards, and the product is backed by a warranty that covers any deformation or damage, reflecting ReptiKing’s commitment to durability and customer satisfaction.

Usage

Designed for both hobbyists and professional breeders, this heat lamp integrates seamlessly into a variety of habitats, from compact vivariums to large, custom‑built terrariums. Whether you are maintaining a desert‑dwelling gecko that requires a high‑intensity basking spot or a tropical frog that benefits from gentle, consistent warmth, the lamp’s adjustable power range and broad light coverage make it a versatile choice.

Installation is straightforward: simply attach the dome to the ceramic socket, plug the cord into a standard outlet, and position the lamp above the enclosure using the built‑in hook or a compatible mounting bracket. The long cord allows placement of the power source outside the terrarium, reducing heat buildup and keeping the interior environment stable. Regular cleaning of the dome’s interior surface ensures optimal light transmission and prolongs bulb life.
