- Description
The Zilla Incandescent Spot Bulb Day White 150W provides focused lighting and heat in a concentrated area, creating an ideal basking spot for your reptile. Designed to simulate the natural daytime photo-environment of a desert or tropical habitat, this bulb delivers a focused beam of heat and light that heats the opposing surface, creating a direct basking spot for your reptile.
Made from glass containing rare earth neodymium phosphors, this bulb produces a brighter, whiter light. It emits energy across all visible wavelengths from 400nm to 700nm and UVA rays from 315nm to 400nm, supporting a more naturalistic terrarium environment. For UVB output, pair with Zilla Desert 50 or Tropical 25 UVB Fluorescent bulbs.
Sold individually - 1 bulb per package.

Material & Design Breakdown
The bulb is constructed from glass containing rare earth neodymium phosphors, which produce a brighter and whiter light compared to standard incandescent bulbs. The spot design focuses the beam of heat and light into a concentrated area, heating the opposing surface to create a direct basking spot. The full-spectrum output from 400nm to 700nm covers all visible wavelengths, while UVA output from 315nm to 400nm adds an additional layer of environmental realism to the terrarium.
Setup & Compatibility Guidance
Position the bulb over the designated basking area on the warm side of the terrarium. Ensure the fixture is rated for 150W before installation. For UVB output, use in combination with Zilla Desert 50 or Tropical 25 UVB Fluorescent bulbs. Always allow the bulb to cool completely before handling or replacing.
