Larger bulbs and higher-output heat

Arcadia designed it for screw-in heat and light sources, within the dome's rating:

  • Basking lamps, spotlights, and floodlights, including halogen

  • Arcadia Deep Heat Projectors

  • Ceramic heat emitters and infrared heat lamps

  • Compact reptile lamps that fit

Setting it up

  • Clamp it to a stable surface. The spring clamp has grip pads and a bolt fixing for extra hold.

  • Mount it with the screw-fixed vivarium bracket so it stays put without the clamp.

Before switching on, check the fixture is secure, the lamp is within the wattage, and your animal cannot touch the hot lamp. Fit the mesh grill wherever an animal could reach it.

Our advice
Arcadia recommends running heat lamps on a suitable thermostat. A dimming thermostat usually suits a dimmable basking lamp.

What's included

  • Deep-dome aluminum reflector

  • Ceramic lamp holder

  • Power cord with switch

  • Multi-directional spring clamp with grip pads and bolt fixing

  • Removable mesh safety grill

  • Vivarium mounting bracket

Questions

Does it come with a hanging bracket?

No. The hanging bracket comes only with the Graphite Clamp Lamp. This one has the clamp and the vivarium bracket.

Can I use a ceramic heat emitter?

Yes, within the wattage of the size you choose, ideally on a thermostat.

Can I use an Arcadia Deep Heat Projector?

Yes. Arcadia lists it among the lamps for this fixture.
