The Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot is a specific type of light bulb designed for use in terrariums, particularly for reptiles and plants. Here are the key features and specifications of the product:
Broad-spectrum daylight spot lamp: The bulb emits a broad spectrum of light that closely resembles natural sunlight. This spectrum is beneficial for the photosynthesis of plants and provides the necessary lighting conditions for reptiles.
Basking area creation: The spotlight design allows you to direct the heat and light to specific areas within the terrarium, creating suitable basking spots for reptiles. Basking is important for reptiles to regulate their body temperature.
Ambient air temperature increase: The lamp provides heat, which raises the overall temperature of the terrarium. This helps to create a warm and comfortable environment for reptiles, especially those that require specific temperature gradients.
UVA stimulation: The lamp emits UVA rays, which contribute to the physiological well-being of reptiles. UVA rays are known to stimulate natural behaviors, including breeding behavior, in reptiles.
Compatibility with other bulbs: The Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot can be combined with other Exo Terra bulbs like Night Glo or Heat Glo to create a 24-hour light and heat cycle in the terrarium.
Compatibility with Exo Terra Glow Light: The Exo Terra Glow Light, specifically the PT2052, PT2054, and PT2056 models, is recommended for use with the Exo Terra Incandescent Bulbs.
Specifications:
Light/Heat Beam: The lamp emits a beam of light and heat with a width of 65°, providing focused illumination and warmth to the desired areas in the terrarium.
Color Rendering Index (CRI): The CRI value of 83 indicates good color rendering capabilities, allowing for accurate representation of colors in the terrarium.
Thermal Efficiency: The lamp has a thermal efficiency rating of 93%, meaning that a significant portion of the electrical energy is converted into heat.
Color Temperature: The color temperature of the lamp is 2560 K, indicating a warm, yellowish light output similar to natural daylight.
Luminous Flux: The lamp produces a luminous flux of 550 lumens, which indicates the total visible light output.
Optical Efficiency: The optical efficiency is measured at 7.3 lumens per watt (Lm/W), which indicates the effectiveness of the lamp in converting electrical power into visible light.
