Daytime Basking Heat with Soft Red Light for Reptile Enclosures
The Fluker's Repta-Sun Red Heat Incandescent Bulb delivers the radiant infrared heat reptiles need to thrive - with a soft red glow that supports basking without the harsh brightness of standard white bulbs. At 100 watts, it provides strong, consistent heat output suited for reptiles that require elevated basking zone temperatures throughout the day.
Reptiles are ectothermic animals, meaning they depend entirely on their environment to regulate core body temperature. Without an appropriate environmental temperature range (ETR), reptiles can become vulnerable to chronic infections and stress-related health issues. The Repta-Sun Red Heat bulb helps maintain that critical warmth, supporting your reptile's natural thermoregulation cycle.
Sold individually. Compatible with standard reptile lamp fixtures and dome-style basking setups.

Material and Design Breakdown
The Repta-Sun Red Heat 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 red coating softens the visible light output while allowing heat to radiate freely, making it a popular choice for basking setups where a softer light environment is preferred. At 100 watts, it delivers a strong heat output capable of maintaining elevated basking zone temperatures in a variety of enclosure sizes.
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 designated 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.
