Basking Lamp, a broad-spectrum daylight globe with UVA suitable for basking reptiles. Creates a hot basking area while increasing ambient air temperature. Provides beneficial UVA to stimulate activity and increase appetite. Directions: Heat globes should always be positioned at one end of your reptiles enclosure to create a thermal gradient, allowing your reptile to choose its ideal temperature. After installation wipe globe with a soft, clean cloth to remove any oils left from your skin, as this can create hot spots, reducing the life of your globe. Only use quality ceramic fittings such as the Anarchy Reptile ES fitting. In areas of varying voltage, use a surge protector to eliminate voltage spikes. It is recommended that all heat sources be used in conjunction with a thermostat to prevent your reptile from overheating.
