Energy-Efficient Nighttime Heat and Light for Reptile Habitats
The Zilla Mini Halogen Bulb in Night Red delivers high-intensity heat and light to reptile habitats using up to 250% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs. The 25-watt output provides essential warmth and healthy light in a compact halogen format, making it an efficient choice for smaller enclosures or setups where lower wattage heat output is needed.
The Night Red color is designed to provide heat and light while minimizing disturbance to nocturnal reptiles, making it well-suited for nighttime use in enclosures where maintaining a day/night cycle is important. Thicker glass and a stronger filament deliver an average lifespan of over 2,000 hours, double the life of standard incandescent bulbs.
Compatible with a range of Zilla fixtures including the Halogen Mini Dome, Pro Sol Fixtures, Low Profile Fixtures, and more. Sold individually (Qty of 1).
