Zoo Med Nocturnal Infrared Heat Lamp 150W

True Red Glass Infrared Heat Lamp for Medium to Large Reptile Enclosures

The Zoo Med Nocturnal Infrared Heat Lamp provides powerful, consistent heat for reptiles, amphibians, birds, and small animals 24 hours a day. Crafted from true red glass, not painted or coated, this 150W lamp delivers a focused heat source that supports your animals' natural day and night cycles without interfering with their sleep patterns.

Quick Product Snapshot

Material and Design Breakdown

The true red glass is an integral part of the bulb itself, not a surface coating, ensuring the color and infrared heat properties remain stable throughout the lamp's lifespan. The built-in spot reflector channels 150W of infrared energy downward into the enclosure rather than dispersing it outward, improving heating efficiency and creating a well-defined warm zone that supports proper thermoregulation. This design is especially effective in medium to large habitats where consistent heat distribution matters.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

This lamp is designed for continuous 24-hour use and works with standard reptile lamp fixtures rated for 150W. Position it above the basking or warm zone of your enclosure to establish an effective thermal gradient. Its low visible light output makes it well-suited for nighttime use without disrupting your animals' natural activity patterns. Always verify that your fixture is rated to handle the 150W output before installation.

Care and Maintenance

Allow the bulb to cool fully before handling or replacing. Keep the bulb dry and away from moisture to prevent breakage. Replace when heat output or performance noticeably declines.

FAQ

Is this lamp safe to leave on overnight?
Yes. The Zoo Med Nocturnal Infrared Heat Lamp is designed as a 24-hour heat source. Its very low visible light output makes it suitable for continuous use without disrupting your animals' sleep patterns.

Is the red color painted on or part of the glass?
The red color is true red glass, not a paint or coating, so the color and heat properties remain consistent throughout the bulb's life.

What animals is this lamp suitable for?
This lamp is suitable for reptiles, amphibians, birds, and small animals that require a consistent heat source in their enclosure.

Is 150W the right wattage for my enclosure?
