That intro song literally made me think I was on a Clint's Reptiles video.

[@raphaelgufler2941]

Haha me too

[@icxcnika9399]

Is there a guide for selecting the correct wattage of these lamps? Distance to basking spot and minimum distances from enclosure walls/ combustible materials etc.

[@ExoticNatureLife]

As long as u create the correct basking spot you will be good I use a 100 watt halogen for my bearded dragon it keep it at 104 its about 9in away from the basking spot

[@Delirium007]

What size tank do you have?​@@ExoticNatureLife

Thanks Pete,

Love it!

I’ve been trying to find a deep heat projector in the United States for weeks. I want to give my little friend the best possible life but it’s just so discouraging when I can’t seem to find the stuff I need. Don’t even get me started on dimming thermostats!!

[@craigwalsh4632]

Check out "Light my reptile .com" I just bought 3 of them.

[@Anon_E_Muss]

I was able to find Arcadia bulbs and fixtures at petsmart of all places.

[@LongfieldReptilesandAquatics]

what lamp / guard would you recommend? debating swapping all my guys over to a DHP and flood bulb, just made the swap to your T5s and Jungledawn

[@odellcrittenden5521]

Can you please provide a heat output distance guide for the halgoen range

welcome

[@samuelodonnell5701]

If you have a 120 gallon tank the 75 watt halogen is perfect in the summer or if you are in a hotter climate but in winter or if your in a colder climate I would go with 100 watt

[@Quantumanticz]

I have your UVB linear and Plant light, why not your Flood as well? I'll share with the chameleons forums, if it hasn't been already.

[@luannalovell]

Hi you replied to a comment of mine but I cant find it now ,,so the question is, in a 3 foot open ish top aquarium I have a bearded dragon and I would like to know the best halogen basking spot or flood . His back would be about 7 inches from the dome . the cold side of the tank is open but the basking area is closed with a dome sat on a grid. Thanks in advance

[@craigwalsh4632]

Great video I always enjoy watching them! So I have a bearded dragon and I currently have a CHE which I want to change to your 75W halogen light and pair that with the already T5 UVB 12% bulb. Will I even need the DHP bulb then? Does the DHP take place of UVB bulbs. Halogen are UVA rich and T5 bulb is UVB rich correct?

[@ExoticNatureLife]

Yes correct

[@ingeniouspixie]

I love your videos; so educational and well done. My (3' wide, 50 gallon) Leo tank has your deep heat projector a Shade Dweller and a jungle dawn... is that not ok?

[@ArcadiaReptile]

Hey, yes that is a very nice system you have there. DHP will provide bioavailable energy from heat, ShadeDwellerPro cover UV and LED Bar increase visible light which inspires basking and allows live plant growth which in turn increases O2... A great system you have there.

[@ingeniouspixie]

@@ArcadiaReptile excellent, Thank you! I love your products and the care and science that goes into them. I live in Canada and hope you can come to more stores here! 😍

[@craighunter628]

I see a lot of contradicting information saying infrared heat lamps aren't suitable for Bearded Dragons. Would you say this is true?

[@ArcadiaReptile]

it is IR-A that needs to be supplied as the prime source for day basking. This makes our SolarBaskingFloods and HalogenFloods the best sources.

[@jayh5277]

Can u confirm is is ok to use deep heat projector with a tortoise along side a pro t5 12% uv?

Hey sorry if it sounds like a stupid question but I really need your help!What should I get for a blue tongue skink with a 4×2×2 wooden vivarium?Thank you so much for your help and service😊💗

[@ArcadiaReptile]

It is a fairly big animal and we need to cover as much of the body as we can. A 100w tungsten Flood or PAR38 halogen flood will do it, but you will need a good dimming thermostat to ensure safe temps.

[@sunakopuli]

Hi there. I'm upgrading my beardies terrarium to an exoterra 67 gallons (90cm x 45 cm x 60cm) and wanting to get a new basking light. Which lamp and on which wattage would you recommend? Is to be used with a T5 12% desert uvb so the basking spot won't be higher than 30 cms tall.

[@ArcadiaReptile]

hi, in most cases the 75w PAR30 Halogen flood or PAR38 100w halogen flood is the best choice when used with a good dimming thermostat. A nice bright and wide flood of rich light that can reach high basking temps

[@jess-sweetheartt8820]

the 100w halogens r a great size for large reptiles but the 75 is very small so unsuitable. I also had an issue with both 100w blowing after a few mnths use (on a habitstat theromstate and komodo fixture), a few keepers have reported similar issue. i am on my second set lets hope these last. I am using the DHP aswell, great bulb. And ur T5's :) Nice informative video

[@ArcadiaReptile]

Hey, thanks for the message. Halogen lamps have a published life of 1500h as average. so 6-8 weeks. Any longer than that, and your doing something right :-)

[@jess-sweetheartt8820]

@@ArcadiaReptile ah ok i thought they lasted longer thx for clearing that up :)

[@Shades1535]

Is the floodlight or spotlight more suitable to provide a basking spot in a 18x18x12 enclosure? Also: is the halogen not appropriate for basking spots specifically? Ty!

[@ArcadiaReptile]

thats quite a small viv, so i would always use a small Flood lamp. Our 75w and 100w Halogens are flood lamps, so can be used in larger vivs.

[@alyssa7738]

What about an 18x18x24 tokay enclosure?

[@ArcadiaReptile]

Choice of lamp is down to the needs of the species, its size and your ambient temp. In most cases with a room ambient of 17C or so a 75w flood will do the job with a good dimming stat

[@tavozuniga7364]

I have a 48x24x48 enclosure for a panther chameleon and running a 75 and 50 watt halogen should I use the 100w to bring the temperature up it been at a constant 74° throughout the day because its a little cold and at night drops to 61°,Or should I use a different bulb like the basking spotlight to bring those temps up

[@ArcadiaReptile]

using a flood type lamp is always preferable. A wider and safer projection. With chameleons, especially those kept in mesh, maintaining a set gradient is hard as we are always subject to the ambient of the room with very little cage insulation. The PAR38 100w lamp is very powerful and you should always use these well insulated and hot lamps with a suitable dimming thermostat. For night time you may be better adding in a DHP which will maintain gentle heat without visible light

[@tavozuniga7364]

[@Quamlee]

So for a leopard gecko best light set up would be a 100W Halogen paired with a 100W DPH both on dimmers and the Shade Dweller 7.0% would be ideal?

[@Quamlee]

Sorry, 80W DHP not 100W

[@ArcadiaReptile]

That would depend on the size of enclosure ad distance to basking. The 100w Halogen is very powerful with a wide beam. 70C at 15" on full power. Unless your cage is huge you are better with the 50w in both.

[@Quamlee]

@@ArcadiaReptile thank you. I was planning on dimming it down but I read it isn't good to dim have bulbs that much so I will downsize. Enclose size is a 25 gallon (30"L x 12"W x 16"H)

[@AnimalsDeserveBetter.]

So why does it say on the Arcadia website that the deep heat projector provides IRB if in fact, it does not? Is this a marketing scheme video or is the website giving out false information?

[@ArcadiaReptile]

It 100% does provide IR-B and lots of it. DHP provides both some IR-A and more IR-B as the prime projection. Then a little IR-C mainly from convection of the glass.

[@Shades1535]

What are the differences between the halogen and the floodlight?

[@ArcadiaReptile]

Halogen lamps use a tungsten filament within a halogen gas which creates more light per watt used than standard tungsten. They are also better reflected and insulated. In terms of spectrum, they are very similar.

[@TheJackabrown1]

What watts should I use if i combined the 2 together for a bearded dragon in a 6 × 2 x 2 enclosure.

[@ArcadiaReptile]

I like the 75w Halogen Flood and 50w DHP combo, then set these over thick dark slate and let the stat do the work

What would you recommend for a black headed Python in a 6x2x2 enclosure? Please help, I’m not sure where to start!

[@ArcadiaReptile]

A nice big species when grown. I would use a 100w PAR38 Halogen flood and 50w DHP combo run through dimming stats and caged. This will easily provide heat over a wide space, fill the terrestrial spectrum and provide bioavailable energy at night,

[@vegemiteisavitamin3235]

@@ArcadiaReptile Thank you so much for the reply! Would you recommend one of each, or more for a tank of that size? :)

[@ArcadiaReptile]

@@vegemiteisavitamin3235 one of each should do it if set up correctly.

[@darwin6753]

What would u recommend for a corn snake in a 4ft by 2ft enclosure adult corn btw

[@ArcadiaReptile]

You simply need to choose a lamp that can do the job and then allow your dimming thermostat to regulate the emission. The 100w Flood lamp produces a very wide highly bioavailable projection for daytime use. The 80w DHP could be used day and night if nighttime heating is required for you.

[@kerm9807]

So is a deep heat projector with a T5 uv kit ok with a bearded dragon?

[@ArcadiaReptile]

it is best used with a halogen flood where it will help to fill the natural spectrum.
