The Exo Terra 100W Intense Basking Spot provides powerful, focused daytime heating for reptile enclosures and terrariums.
Its specially designed reflector concentrates 35% more light and heat within the beam, allowing heat to be directed towards a specific basking rock, branch or platform.
With its higher 100W output, this model is particularly useful for setups requiring a stronger basking heat source. Actual suitability will depend on enclosure dimensions, lamp distance, ventilation, ambient temperature and the reptile species being kept.

Powerful 100W Basking Heat
The 100W Intense Basking Spot is designed to focus heat where it is needed most.
Positioning the globe at the warm end of an enclosure allows you to create a defined basking zone while retaining cooler areas elsewhere, allowing reptiles to move between temperature zones.
Ideal for Basking Areas
The focused beam can be positioned above:
- Basking rocks
- Branches
- Platforms
- Elevated basking positions
- Other designated warm zones
Always ensure the basking temperature is appropriate for the individual species and monitor it using a suitable thermometer.
UVA & Daytime Illumination
Along with heat, the lamp provides visible daytime light and UVA, making it suitable as a daytime basking globe for appropriate reptile setups.
UVB Lighting
The Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot is not a dedicated UVB lamp.
If your reptile requires UVB, provide an appropriate UVB source separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 100W Intense Basking Spot do?
It creates a powerful, concentrated area of heat and visible light for reptile basking.
Is 100W more powerful than the 50W and 75W versions?
Yes. The 100W globe has a higher electrical power rating and is intended for situations where greater heat output is appropriate.
Does it produce UVA?
Yes.
Does it provide UVB?
No. Dedicated UVB lighting should be used separately when required.
Does it have an E27 fitting?
Yes, it uses an E27 screw fitting.
Should I choose wattage based only on enclosure size?
No. Species requirements, room temperature, enclosure design, ventilation and lamp-to-basking-site distance all influence the required heating. Measure the actual temperatures within the enclosure.
