Zilla Incandescent Day White Bulb 50W Full-Spectrum Reptile Light
The Zilla Incandescent Day White Bulb simulates the natural daytime photo-environment of desert and tropical habitats while providing the heat source reptiles need for a healthy environment. At 50 watts, this full-spectrum lamp emits energy across all visible wavelengths from 400nm to 700nm, plus UVA rays from 315nm to 400nm, delivering a brighter, whiter light that closely mirrors natural sunlight.
Made from glass containing rare earth neodymium phosphors, this bulb produces a cleaner, more natural light quality than standard incandescent bulbs. Photons from the daylight bulb pass through the glass and heat the opposing surface, allowing reptiles to bask in warmth that replicates their natural environment.
Note: for UVB output, pair with Zilla Desert 50 or Tropical 25 UVB Fluorescent Bulbs. Sold individually.

This bulb is designed for use with standard incandescent reptile light fixtures rated for 50 watts or higher. Position it to create an effective basking zone within the terrarium. For complete UVB supplementation, pair with Zilla Desert 50 or Tropical 25 UVB Fluorescent Bulbs. Always use a thermostat or thermometer to monitor enclosure temperatures.
Care and Maintenance
Allow the bulb to cool completely before handling or replacing. Keep the bulb surface clean and free of moisture. Replace when light output or heat output diminishes noticeably.
