REPTI ZOO Reptile Basking Heat Lamp Bulb, 80W Splashproof Energy Saving Deep Heater Non-Luminous Carbon Infrared Heat Bulb for Reptile Amphibians
An 80W carbon infrared heat bulb from Repti Zoo that gives off heat with no visible light, a budget alternative to name-brand deep heat projectors for basking and 24 hour use.

What we liked
- + The listing says it emits infrared heat with no luminous output, so it is described as usable around the clock without lighting the enclosure.
- + Self-ballasted design with an E26 base, so it screws into a standard dome fixture without an external ballast.
- + Listing states an integrated thermal protector and a splashproof metal shell, plus 100W, 80W and 50W sizes to choose from.
Trade-offs
- - It is a lesser-known brand than the Arcadia projector it replaces, and the manufacturer gives no UVA or UVB output, so it is a heat source only.
- - The product page does not state a beam angle or recommended mounting distance, so you need a fixture and thermostat suited to 80W.
