Maximum UVB and UVA Output in a Deep Dome Lamp Fixture
The Zoo Med Deep Dome Lamp Fixture is engineered to get the most out of your reptile lighting setup. Featuring an extra-long reflector dome that extends beyond the face of the lamp, this fixture keeps bulbs fully recessed so they never stick out beyond the dome edge, creating a cleaner, safer installation for your terrarium.
The highly polished aluminum interior of the dome is designed to significantly increase UVB and UVA output by reflecting more light downward into the terrarium. This makes the Deep Dome Lamp Fixture an ideal pairing for Zoo Med's PowerSun UV lamps and ReptiSun UVB Compact Fluorescent lamps, maximizing the effectiveness of your UVB lighting investment.
Rated for use with lamps up to 160 watts, this fixture handles high-wattage reptile bulbs with ease. The 8.5-inch dome size provides broad, effective light and heat coverage for a wide range of terrarium setups. Whether you're running a desert, tropical, or basking reptile enclosure, the Deep Dome delivers the performance and reliability reptile keepers depend on.

Why Reptile Owners Choose It
Standard dome fixtures often allow bulbs to protrude beyond the dome edge, which reduces reflective efficiency and can create safety concerns. The Zoo Med Deep Dome solves this with its extended dome design that keeps bulbs fully recessed while the polished aluminum interior bounces more UVB and UVA light into the terrarium. For keepers who invest in quality UVB lamps like the PowerSun UV or ReptiSun compact fluorescents, the Deep Dome ensures those lamps perform at their best.
