The Exo Terra Sun glo daylight bask lamp is a broad spectrum daylight spot lamp with a Neodymium sleeve.
The spectrum is ideal for plant’s photosynthesis and the UVA (ultraviolet A) light contributes to tortoises’ physiological well-being. The spot allows one to direct the heat and light in a certain direction to create basking sites in the enclosure.
Pendant fitting for use with ES screw fit spotlamps. Plugged and supplied with 2 metres of lead. Maximum rating 100 watts. Either avialable as screw or bayonet fitting.
Made for spotlamps this guard will shield basking lamps. It is designed to be used with fixed baton type holders. Manufactured from 1mm thick perforated steel, with a powder-coated finish in white, they are easily fitted, not only providing a safe environment but enhancing the appearance of your vivarium.
Ceramic Heat Emitter
The Exo Terra Ceramic Heat Emitter is a radiant heat source and creates a natural sun-like heat with a uniform pattern. The long wave infrared heat produced by this emitter will warm reptiles very efficiently. It also increases the ambient air-temperature in the terrarium. Infrared heat penetrates the scales and skin tissue, promoting health and healing as it widens the blood vessels and increases blood circulation. 99% heat efficiency which emits a natural sun-like Infrared heat. No light is emiited which does not disturb normal photo periods. Has a solid ceramin element which is suitable for humid environments. Dimensions of ceramic Heat Emitter is measured in length and width.

Heating Control
Thermostats allow you to control the temperature of your tortoise's enclosure.These are considered to be energy efficient.
Thermostats control the temperature under heat lamps by adjusting the power supplied to them. All heating equipment should be monitored carefully to ensure they are working correctly as the labelled temperature is rarely the correct temperature. They should be kept clean and the electrics inspected periodically too.
Habistat Dimmer Thermostat
Sophisticated Dimming thermostat, designed specifically for controlling light bulbs. The Dimming thermostat is one of the most accurate methods of temperature control and whilst it is perfect for controlling light bulbs, it can be used on almost any heaters. Unlike other Habistat thermostats, it does require a minimum load of 40 watts, but has a maximum capacity of 600 watts at 230 volts.
Habistat Dimmer Day/Night
Dimming thermostat with the capacity to drop the temperature at night if attached to a timer. The function of this thermostat is the same as the standard Dimming thermostat, but with the added facility of a night time temperature drop ability. With many species it is important to give them a cycle of warm day time temperatures and cool night temperatures. Many species would experience this in their natural environment.
Through an additional mains input lead and via a time switch or a Habistat 'Night eye' (not included)
Cool Control™ is a thermostat that switches the power on when a set temperature is reached and off once the temperature has fallen below the set level. It is like an ordinary thermostat but only in reverse. It is commonly used to switch on cooling devices and thus prevent overheating. Fans like the HabiStat™ MiniFan™ are typical of the devices controlled. Where safety consciousness is called for, HabiStat’s Cool Control™ leads the field.
Habistat Mini Fan
The Mini Fan™ is a small low voltage fan that comes with its own mains converting plug. It will move air either in or out to prevent stagnation or humidity imbalance. At last there is a suitable fan that is both safe and effective. Remove stuffiness and breeze through ventilation problems with this excellent little mover.
