Many reptile and amphibian species need warm lighting zones under which you can warm up and refuel UV light. As in the great outdoors, these zones should be UV rich and stable. Arcadia presents you with the new UV mini basking lamp. This lamp is ideal for smaller facilities with low height and guarantees a balanced release of UV-A and UV-B as well as ideal heat radiation. The 80W mini basking lamp is designed for use in small wooden vivariums and for attachment over wire mesh covers. Such facilities are known to suffer from overheating quickly. In addition, heat and UV sources are often too close to the animal due to the low height of the facility. The 80W UV Mini Basking Lamp is an energy-efficient, high-performance metal halide lamp for mounting in wood vivariums and glass vivariums with wire mesh cover. It helps reptile and amphibian owners create an ideal lighting and heating situation even in small environments with a height of 20-30 cm Box Contains 1 x mixed light spotlight.

Review: Great bulb for heat and UVB loving animals - i have the 160w version on my larger viv and that is a great bulb the light is very bright and more of a cool white color. but the 100w version that i just purchased for my 4ft viv is the same dull nearly orange color. not really a big deal but just wanted to let you know the difference. the 100w performs great and my tems for my uromastyx are spot on. its great knowing that my animals are getting UVB as well as heat. also this has a 12 month warranty so i can feel confidant that this is replaceable should it die whiles in service in that time frame. you may find that your standard bulb cage will not fit as this bulb is big in size almost 2.5 times bigger then the normal ones. no bid deal for me as my lizards cant reach it. but just in case you have decorations that your lizard can reach the bulb you may have to look in to getting a bigger cage guard.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Have bought one for our horsefield tortoise and i cant get the temperature above 30 . We have an 80watt bulb. Should i get a bigger bulb ?**
A: That seems very strange because I have a large vivarium with a 100 watt bulb and my tanks gets to 80 on a warm day but it also depends on the type of bulb,the one I buy costs £30 which seems expensive but they last at least over 12 months or even longer,not sure why you are only getting 30 out of your bulb.

**Q: Would this lamp create too much heat in a 36inch vivarium**
A: Almost certainly. I use mine in a 48"X 24" X 24".

**Q: Is this any good for a veiled chameleon?**
A: I got a 160w and I had no problem with it so I recommend it

**Q: My budgie may need vitamin d too wpuod it work over his cage used??**
A: I have mine over a rabbit hutch for my baby tortoise and they’re doing great so should be ok. The lamp does get hot and so make sure it’s secure also you might want to put it on a timer
