Zoo Med Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp Fixture - Black, 8.5 in

A Durable, Versatile 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, and for good reason. Built from heavy gauge painted aluminum with a ceramic socket, this 8.5-inch (22cm) dome fixture is designed to handle the heat demands of reptile basking lamps reliably and safely over the long term.

The ceramic socket construction makes this fixture compatible with a wide range of reptile heat and UVB lamps, including high-wattage bulbs that standard plastic-socket fixtures cannot safely accommodate. The clamp design allows for flexible positioning on terrarium edges, shelving, or stands, giving you precise control over lamp placement and basking zone location.

Compatible with the Zoo Med Clamp Lamp Safety Cover (sold separately) to provide additional protection for your bulbs, animals, and home. Whether you're setting up a new reptile enclosure or upgrading an existing lighting setup, the Deluxe Porcelain Clamp Lamp Fixture delivers the durability and reliability that reptile keepers depend on.

Why Reptile Owners Choose It

Reptile lighting fixtures take a lot of heat, and not all fixtures are built to handle it safely over time.

Its clamp design adds versatility, making it easy to position exactly where the basking zone needs to be.

Quick Product Snapshot

Material and Design Breakdown

The fixture is constructed from heavy gauge painted aluminum, providing a sturdy, heat-resistant housing that holds up to the demands of reptile lighting. The ceramic socket is a key feature, allowing safe use with high-wattage bulbs that would damage or degrade standard plastic sockets over time. The 8.5-inch dome diameter provides effective reflective coverage to direct heat and light into the terrarium. The clamp mechanism allows the fixture to be attached to terrarium rims, shelving edges, or lamp stands for flexible positioning.

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). Available in three dome sizes: 5.5 inches (14cm), 8.5 inches (22cm), and 10 inches (25cm) - this listing is for the 8.5-inch size.

Care and Maintenance

Allow the fixture to cool completely before handling or cleaning. Wipe the dome and exterior clean as needed. Inspect the clamp and socket regularly to ensure secure, safe operation. Replace bulbs as needed according to the lamp manufacturer's recommendations.
