Give your reptile a clearly defined warm zone with the Exo Terra 50W Intense Basking Spot. Designed specifically for reptile terrariums and enclosures, this daytime heat globe concentrates its output into a focused beam to create an effective basking area.
The specially designed reflector directs 35% more light and heat into the beam, making it ideal for positioning above a basking rock, branch or platform.
Along with providing heat and visible daylight, the lamp produces UVA and helps establish the warm end of the temperature gradient reptiles use to regulate their body temperature.

Focused Heat for Basking Reptiles
Rather than distributing heat broadly throughout the entire enclosure, the Intense Basking Spot concentrates heat into a defined area.
This allows you to position the lamp over your reptile's preferred basking location while maintaining cooler areas elsewhere in the enclosure.
The focused beam is particularly useful above:
- Basking rocks
- Natural branches
- Reptile platforms
- Elevated basking areas
- Warm hides and surrounding areas
Helps Establish a Temperature Gradient
Providing different temperature zones allows reptiles to move between warmer and cooler areas as required.
Positioning the 50W Intense Basking Spot towards one end of the enclosure can help establish the warmer end of this gradient.
Always monitor temperatures with a suitable thermometer and adjust lamp positioning and heating according to the requirements of the reptile species being kept.
UVA Daylight Lamp
The Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot produces UVA along with visible light and heat, making it suitable as a daytime basking globe for appropriate reptile species.
Does This Lamp Provide UVB?
No. The Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot should not be considered a replacement for dedicated reptile UVB lighting.
Reptiles requiring UVB should have an appropriate UVB lamp installed separately as part of their lighting setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Exo Terra Intense Basking Spot used for?
It is designed to provide a concentrated source of daytime heat and light, creating a dedicated basking area within a reptile enclosure.
Does the 50W Intense Basking Spot produce UVA?
Yes. It provides UVA together with visible light and heat.
Does it produce UVB?
No. A separate UVB light should be provided where required by the species.
What fitting does it use?
It has a standard E27 screw fitting.
Is 50W suitable for every reptile enclosure?
No. Heating requirements vary considerably depending on species, enclosure size, ventilation, room temperature and lamp placement. Always use measured temperatures to determine whether the heating setup is appropriate.
Can it be used with a thermostat?
Where thermostatic control is required, use a thermostat suitable for the type of heat and light source being controlled.
