Nighttime Basking Heat for Reptiles - Without Disrupting Their Sleep Cycle
The Fluker's Repta-Sun Black Nightlight Incandescent Bulb delivers the radiant infrared heat your reptile needs after dark - without emitting visible white light that can disturb natural day/night behavior. Designed specifically for nocturnal heating, this 75-watt bulb supports a stable environmental temperature range (ETR) that is essential for reptile health and thermoregulation.
Reptiles are ectothermic animals, meaning they rely entirely on their environment to regulate core body temperature. Without a consistent and appropriate ETR, reptiles can become vulnerable to chronic infections and stress-related illness. The Repta-Sun Black Nightlight bulb helps maintain that critical warmth through the night, keeping your reptile comfortable and healthy around the clock.
Sold individually. Compatible with standard reptile lamp fixtures and basking setups.

Material and Design Breakdown
The Repta-Sun Black Nightlight bulb uses an incandescent design that converts electrical energy into radiant infrared heat - the same type of warmth reptiles naturally absorb from the sun. The black coating filters visible light while allowing heat to pass through, making it ideal for nighttime use in terrariums and reptile enclosures. At 75 watts, it provides a meaningful heat output suitable for maintaining ambient and basking zone temperatures after dark.
Setup and Compatibility Guidance
This bulb is designed for use with standard reptile lamp fixtures and dome-style basking lamp holders. Position it above the basking zone of your enclosure to create a focused heat gradient. Because ETRs vary by species, consult your pet professional or species-specific care literature to determine the appropriate temperature range and bulb placement for your reptile.
