Description
xOverview
LUCKY HERP 100W UVA+UVB Vapor Heat Lamp Bulb is a self-ballasted, sun-like lamp that delivers heat, UVA and UVB along with visible light in one compact unit. It creates a warm, natural-looking glow in the enclosure while avoiding UVC, helping recreate day-time daylight without extra gear.
Who it’s for
Designed for a wide range of reptiles and amphibians, including bearded dragons, tortoises, turtles, geckos, iguanas, lizards, chameleons, and more. The thicker bulb glass supports higher humidity environments, making it suitable for many terrariums that need robust, steady illumination and warmth.
- UVB 1000 uW/cm² combined with UVA and visible light supports daytime warmth and visibility.
- Self-ballasted design means less setup and fewer components to manage, with automatic restart after cooling.
- Thicker bulb glass helps in more humid enclosures, reducing the risk of glass cracking under damp conditions.
How it works and safety at a glance
The lamp is a mixed-light source that heats the basking area and simulates sunlight. It includes an internal thermal switch to shut off if overheating occurs, and will resume once cooled. A small safety reminder: it gets very hot, so avoid touching the surface and keep children away.
- Vertical installation is required for proper operation.
- Do not spray with water and avoid frequent on/off cycling to extend life.
- Not compatible with dimmers or rheostats; ensure a stable power supply and fixture.
How to use
Plan a gradual exposure routine to help reptiles acclimate. Start with short sessions and increase gradually to match the species’ needs and enclosure setup.
- Distance: keep the reptile at 30–40 cm from the lamp to allow retreat to cooler zones.
- Initial exposure: begin with about 30 minutes per day and extend over 2–3 weeks toward 3 hours daily; up to 10 hours per day if necessary for all-day activity.
- Warm-up: allow approximately 5 minutes for full radiation after switching on.
Care, installation, and service
Before installing, confirm the fixture uses an E26 base and supports a standard, non-dimmable setup. The product includes a 3-month service window from the purchase date for assistance with issues.
