Zoo Med ReptiCare Infrared Heat Projector Bulb - 35W

Deep-Penetrating Infrared Heat for Healthier Reptiles

The Zoo Med ReptiCare Infrared Heat Projector Bulb delivers powerful, deep-penetrating warmth that supports your reptile's thermoregulation around the clock. Emitting both Infrared A and Infrared B wavelengths, this bulb creates wide, even basking zones that reach deep into muscle tissue - providing the kind of natural, radiant heat reptiles rely on in the wild.

Unlike standard heat bulbs, the ReptiCare Infrared Heat Projector can be used day or night without disrupting your reptile's natural sleep cycle. The carbon fiber filament is engineered for extended longevity, delivering consistent heat output 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you're maintaining a daytime basking zone or providing overnight warmth, this bulb handles both without compromise.

Backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty, the ReptiCare Infrared Heat Projector is a reliable, long-term heating solution for reptile keepers who demand performance and consistency from their equipment.

Quick Product Snapshot

Material and Design Breakdown

The carbon fiber filament at the core of this bulb is engineered for durability and consistent heat output, outperforming standard tungsten filaments in longevity and efficiency. The bulb's infrared output spans both the IRA and IRB wavelength ranges, enabling heat to penetrate beyond the surface and reach deeper tissue layers. This design supports more effective thermoregulation compared to surface-only heat sources, making it a functional upgrade for any reptile heating setup.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

The ReptiCare Infrared Heat Projector Bulb is designed for use in compatible reptile heat lamp fixtures. Position the bulb above the basking zone of the enclosure to create an even, wide heat area. It can be used continuously day and night without affecting your reptile's light-dark cycle. Always use with an appropriate fixture rated for the bulb's wattage.

Care and Maintenance

Allow the bulb to cool completely before handling or replacing. Keep the bulb surface clean and free of moisture. Inspect periodically for signs of wear. Replace under the 1-year manufacturer's warranty if the bulb fails during normal use.

Ideal for Reptile Keepers Who...

• Need a heat source that works safely both day and night without light emission
• Want deep-penetrating infrared heat to support muscle function and metabolism
• Prefer a long-lasting carbon fiber filament for reduced replacement frequency
• Keep reptiles that require consistent basking temperatures around the clock
• Want a warranted, manufacturer-backed heating solution

FAQ

Can this bulb be used at night?
Yes. The ReptiCare Infrared Heat Projector does not emit visible light, so it can be used day or night without disrupting your reptile's natural sleep cycle.

What is the difference between Infrared A and Infrared B?
Infrared A wavelengths penetrate more deeply into tissue, while Infrared B wavelengths provide surface-level warmth. This bulb emits both, creating a broad and effective basking zone.

How long does the carbon fiber filament last?
The carbon fiber filament is designed for extended longevity with continuous 24/7 heat output. It is built to outlast standard filament bulbs under normal operating conditions.

Does this bulb emit light?
The ReptiCare Infrared Heat Projector is a heat-focused bulb. It emits infrared wavelengths for heat rather than visible light, making it suitable for nighttime use.

What warranty does this bulb carry?
This bulb is covered by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty from Zoo Med.
