Zoo Med Professional Series Dimmable Clamp Lamp

Reptiles are ectothermic, which means that instead of producing their own body heat, they depend on external sources like the sun for warmth. This heat energy is used to digest their food, maintain bodily function, and stay generally healthy. Since reptiles don't produce their own heat, we must provide the heat they need with heat lamps. The Zoo Med Professional Series Dimmable Clamp Lamp is an all-in-one solution for controlling the heat and/or light output of reptile bulbs. The inline dimmer switch allows you to adjust from off to full power and anything in between! Plus, the heavy duty ceramic socket can handle up to 150 watts. Dimming gives you the power to more precisely control your reptile's temperature gradient. Turn heat bulbs down on a hot day and back up on a cool day or change temperatures seasonally without changing bulbs. Maximum bulb wattage: 150w Lamp diameter: 8.5" Instructions for Use: Insert bulb and ensure it is securely screwed into the socket. Plug cord into out
