Powerful Nighttime Illumination for Larger Reptile Enclosures
The Zoo Med Moonlite Deep Blue Reptile Bulb in 100 watts is built for keepers who need stronger nighttime heating alongside low-level moonlight viewing.

At 100 watts, this bulb delivers meaningful ambient heat for larger enclosures while keeping visible light output to a minimum. Built to European quality standards, it is engineered for a long burn life - providing consistent, reliable performance night after night without frequent replacements.
Sold individually. Compatible with standard reptile light fixtures.

Why Reptile Owners Choose It
Larger enclosures demand more from a nighttime bulb - not just a soft glow, but real heat output that keeps temperatures stable after dark. The Zoo Med Moonlite 100W delivers both, providing the warmth larger reptiles need while maintaining the low-light environment that keeps nocturnal species calm and undisturbed. It's the high-output option in the Moonlite line, built for serious keepers with larger setups who refuse to compromise on either heating or animal welfare.

Material and Design Breakdown
The Moonlite Bulb is made from true deep blue glass - not a painted or coated surface prone to fading or chipping. This ensures the blue tint remains consistent and effective throughout the bulb's entire lifespan. At 100 watts, the glass construction must also handle higher heat output, and the European-quality build is designed to do exactly that - delivering long-lasting, stable performance even at higher wattages.
Setup and Compatibility Guidance
This 100-watt bulb is designed for use in standard reptile light fixtures rated for its wattage. It is best suited for larger terrariums or enclosures where significant nighttime heat retention is needed. Position it in an overhead fixture to distribute warmth and a soft moonlight glow evenly across the enclosure. Always verify your fixture's wattage rating before installation. Pair with a separate daytime UVB or basking bulb to create a complete day-night lighting and heating cycle.

- Want to observe animals during active nighttime hours without disrupting their behavior
- Need a high-output bulb that still maintains very low visible light levels
