Design and Construction Breakdown
The ceramic base and heat-resistant porcelain socket are built to handle the sustained high temperatures generated by incandescent lamps and Ceramic Heat Emitters. The wire cage surrounding the socket allows heat to dissipate naturally, preventing the dangerous buildup that can occur with enclosed aluminum reflector designs. The clamp mount provides flexible positioning along enclosure rims, glass edges, or stands without requiring permanent installation.
Setup and Compatibility Guidance
Compatible with all standard incandescent reptile lamps and Zoo Med Ceramic Heat Emitters. Clamp securely to the enclosure edge or a suitable stand before inserting the lamp. Do not exceed 150 watts. This fixture is UL approved specifically when paired with Zoo Med Ceramic Heat Emitters.
Care and Maintenance
Allow the fixture to cool completely before changing bulbs or handling. Wipe the wire cage periodically to remove dust buildup that may affect heat dissipation. Inspect the clamp and socket regularly for signs of wear.
