Zoo Med Mini Deep Dome Lamp Fixture Black 5.5 in

Compact Deep Dome Fixture for Small Reptile Terrariums

The Zoo Med Mini Deep Dome Lamp Fixture is a purpose-built reptile lighting fixture designed for smaller terrariums where space is at a premium but performance cannot be compromised. At 5.5 inches, this compact dome delivers the same deep dome advantage as larger fixtures - the extra-long reflector dome extends beyond the face of the lamp, keeping the bulb safely recessed and preventing it from protruding outside the housing.

The ceramic socket supports lamps up to 100 watts, giving you flexibility to use a wide range of reptile bulbs - from UVB compact fluorescents to basking and infrared lamps. The polished aluminum interior maximizes light and heat output, directing energy efficiently downward into the enclosure where your animals need it most.

Sold individually. Lamp not included.

Quick Product Snapshot

Material and Design Breakdown

The fixture's polished aluminum dome interior is engineered to reflect light and heat downward with maximum efficiency, ensuring that the output from your chosen lamp is directed into the enclosure rather than dispersed upward. The ceramic socket is a key durability feature - it handles high-wattage and high-heat lamps safely, unlike plastic sockets that can degrade over time under sustained heat. The deep dome extension beyond the lamp face is both a safety feature and a performance advantage, keeping the bulb protected and focusing output into the habitat below.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

The Mini Deep Dome is compatible with lamps up to 100 watts, including compact fluorescent UVB lamps, basking bulbs, infrared bulbs, and other standard reptile lamp types that fit a standard socket. Position the fixture above a mesh screen top for optimal heat and light penetration into the enclosure. The 5.5-inch size is best suited for smaller terrariums and tabletop habitats. Always verify that your chosen lamp does not exceed the 100-watt maximum rating for this fixture.
