The Exo Terra 150W Intense Basking Spot is the high-output option in the range, designed to provide powerful, concentrated daytime heat for suitable reptile enclosures and terrariums.
Its specialised reflector concentrates 35% more light and heat within the beam, allowing a defined basking area to be established beneath the lamp.
The powerful 150W output makes correct positioning and temperature monitoring particularly important. The appropriate heat source should always be selected according to the reptile species and actual temperatures achieved within the enclosure.

High-Output Basking Lamp
With its 150W output, this model provides considerably more heating potential than lower-wattage globes in the Intense Basking Spot range.
The concentrated beam allows the lamp to be positioned above a designated basking site while cooler areas remain available elsewhere in the enclosure.
Creates a Defined Basking Zone
The lamp can be positioned over:
- Large basking rocks
- Branches
- Elevated platforms
- Designated warm areas
- Other secure basking surfaces
Because this is a high-output globe, always monitor both the basking surface and surrounding enclosure temperatures carefully.
UVA, Heat & Visible Light
The Intense Basking Spot provides UVA, visible daytime light and heat, combining several important characteristics in a single daytime basking globe.
Does It Provide UVB?
No. The Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot is not a substitute for a dedicated reptile UVB lamp.
If the species being kept requires UVB, provide suitable UVB lighting separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Exo Terra 150W Intense Basking Spot designed for?
It is a high-output basking globe designed to create a powerful, concentrated heat and light zone within suitable reptile enclosures.
Is the 150W version suitable for small terrariums?
A 150W lamp can produce substantial heat, so suitability should be determined by the temperatures achieved rather than enclosure size alone. Lower-wattage options may be more appropriate where less heat is required.
Does it produce UVA?
Yes. It provides UVA along with visible light and heat.
Does the lamp provide UVB?
No. Use a separate UVB source where required by the reptile species.
What fitting does it use?
It uses an E27 screw fitting.
How should I determine the correct lamp height?
Positioning depends on the species, enclosure and desired basking temperature. Use a suitable thermometer to measure the actual temperature at the basking site and adjust the setup accordingly.
