Zoo Med Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp Fixture - Black, 5.5 in

A Compact, Durable Clamp Lamp Fixture for Reptile Terrariums

The Zoo Med Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp Fixture is one of Zoo Med's most popular reptile lighting fixtures, trusted by reptile keepers for its durability and reliable performance. This 5.5-inch (14cm) size is the most compact option in the lineup, making it an ideal choice for smaller terrariums or setups where a lower-profile fixture is needed without sacrificing build quality.

Constructed from heavy gauge painted aluminum with a ceramic socket, this fixture is built to handle the heat demands of reptile basking and heat lamps safely over the long term. The ceramic socket allows use with high-wattage bulbs that standard plastic-socket fixtures cannot safely accommodate, giving you more flexibility in your lighting setup.

The clamp design provides flexible, adjustable positioning on terrarium edges, shelving, or lamp stands, so you can place the lamp exactly where your reptile's basking zone needs to be. Compatible with the Zoo Med Clamp Lamp Safety Cover (sold separately) for additional protection of your bulbs, animals, and home.

It's the right tool when you need reliable, heat-safe performance in a smaller package.

Quick Product Snapshot

Material and Design Breakdown

The fixture is constructed from heavy gauge painted aluminum, providing a sturdy, heat-resistant housing suited to the demands of reptile lighting. The ceramic socket is a critical feature, enabling safe use with high-wattage bulbs that would degrade or damage standard plastic sockets over time. The 5.5-inch dome is the most compact size in Zoo Med's Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp lineup, making it well-suited for smaller terrariums and tighter positioning requirements. The clamp mechanism attaches securely to terrarium rims, shelving edges, or lamp stands.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

Attach the clamp to the edge of the terrarium, a lamp stand, or shelving at the appropriate position above the basking area. The ceramic socket is compatible with a wide range of reptile basking lamps and heat bulbs. For added safety, pair with the Zoo Med Clamp Lamp Safety Cover (sold separately). Also available in 8.5-inch (22cm) and 10-inch (25cm) dome sizes for larger setups.
