Exo Terra Ceramic Heat Emitter, 60 Watt

Product Information

In most cases, this is an undesirable side-effect of non-LED bulbs. In certain specific applications, though, it is a benefit This product has a tremendous ceramic heat lamp with AC 110-120V also with a Power supply of 60W. The product material is ceramic having pottery clay of extreme purity & Ni-Cr-Alloy, resistance wire heating faster than any other heat emitter. It has a high thermal efficiency of 99%. Other Features Are heat mats ok for bearded dragons? It is never recommended to use heat mats for bearded dragons. However, where it is difficult to maintain heat overhead without going to extremely high wattage ceramic heat emitters, then it may be a useful addition to heating.

You may need a heat lamp for keeping nighttime temperatures from dropping below 70 degrees F. There are many nighttime bulbs made to provide heat while creating subdued levels of light. This is important for not disturbing the bearded dragon’s sleep cycle. Removable fittings (ready to plug in) made specifically for reptile habitats, typically have benefits such as reflector shields and are easy to move around. Regardless of which type, buy porcelain fittings that will cope with the heat the bulbs will generate.On/off thermostats are not suitable for lights but will do fine with ceramic heat emitters, heat mats and heat wires. They do not usually carry a high load and so may be limited to under 300 watts. Basking Spot Lamps are generally incandescent light bulbs that produce heat and light specifically made for reptiles. They came in many different shapes, wattages, and applications. The CHE can be placed in between the two light sources or placed closest to the centre. If placed central it will assist in providing the ambient temperatures required for night-time. CHE and Fluorescent Tube UVB These help to warm the area prior to use, and clear condensation from mirrors, walls and other surfaces. This gives a better overall experience and reduces the chance for mould and mildew to grow in damp rooms. They are quite common in hotels and guest houses and are also becoming more popular with homeowners. Infrared Paint Curing Lamps

Basking lamps are used to create an intense concentration of heat in one area of your vivarium. Since reptiles can’t generate their own body heat and use their environment to warm up or cool down, basking lamps are very important for creating a temperature gradient within your tank. Boyer H. T., DVM, DABVP. 2015 Diseases of Bearded Dragons. AV017 Conference Note. (Reptile & Amphibian Practice) Pet Hospital of Penasquitos, San Diego, CA, USA. Rossi, J. V. 2006. General husbandry and management. In: Mader DR, editor. Reptile medicine and surgery. St Louis: Saunders. p. 25–41.Visible light lights up the environment, it is the equivalent of daylight in enclosures. This is particularly so at the basking spot which needs to replicate the sun as much as possible. This impacts bearded dragons interaction with their environment much the same as it does for humans. For the onset of winter, the duration of light in the day reduces, and this is replicated by leaving the lights on for your bearded dragon for around 8-12 hours (Boyer 2015, Doneley, 2006). Bearded dragons house temperature is dropped with the basking area reduced to 80°F and night temperatures 60-75°F (Boyer 2015). Once the bearded dragon enters brumation, the lighting can be switched off. One of the best heat lamps to use for bearded dragons is the Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp. This heat lamp is ideal for creating basking areas, and comes in wattages ranging from 50 watts (for small terrariums) to 150 watts (for very large terrariums). Nighttime Heat Lamps

Incandescent bulbs, on the other hand, are relatively inefficient when used primarily for lighting: Secure the bulb fixture. Choose to clamp to the habitat or prefer setting on a lampstand depending on the lamp type. For example, an incandescent light bulb and UVB mercury vapor bulb will add to the heat of the environment. If the heat is still inadequate and the ceramic heat emitters are at the highest level you consider safe, then a heat mat may be attached to the wall (not floor) of the bearded dragons house. In summary, yes you could use a regular bulb for your bearded dragon if it were white and diffused light. Some of the led strip lights may also brighten the bearded dragons house without becoming blinding. Basking bulbs are the manufacturers version of adding to visible light and typically produce heat to the environment. UVB Lighting Manufacturer’s will have instructions on how far away the UVB light should be from the bearded dragon. In addition to that, there should be a minimum distance of 12 inches from the beared dragon to the heating and lighting to avoid burns (Boyer, 2015).

Ceramic heat emitters are ideal to supply nighttime heat since they do not provide light. This will give the bearded dragon radiant nighttime heat while avoiding to disrupt sleep.

Most light bulbs max out at around 100W. This tends to be the lower end of the spectrum for IR heaters, which often run to 2kW and beyond Bearded dragons require UVB for vitamin D synthesis and to metabolise calcium, critical to their health. In bearded dragons’ artificial UVB lighting has shown to be more effective than vitamin D3 supplementation at high doses in maintaining 25-hydroxycholecalciferol plasma levels (Mans, 2017). The post by DVM Amna Ahmad on simplifying calcium and vitamin D3 goes into more detail.

Heat mats

LED bulbs are much more efficient at turning electrical current into light than incandescent lamps, losing very little energy as heat during the process What wattage does a bearded dragon need? The wattage a bearded dragon needs is dependent on a few factors including: Many decorators also use drying and curing lamps for speedier job completion, especially in large or busy areas. They can give a more even, hardwearing and professional-looking finish than air-drying alone. These specialist lights should not to be confused with regular work lights or painters lamps. Medical Uses Nearly all bulbs of this type are incandescent. As their main purpose is to produce warmth rather than just light, there isn’t really such thing as an LED heat lamp: Getting a heat lamp for your puppies and dog is very crucial to its wellbeing. During winter the cold, can have an adverse effect on your puppies considering its age.
