A heat lamp does everything that a ceramic does but often for a lower price. Ceramic heaters produce no visible light rather like night time heat lamps so won t mess with the day night cycle of light and once again they need to be protected with a guard to prevent injuries. The heat lamp has to be used with a ceramic e27 11 volt socket because a plastic socket may melt the lamp holder or even cause the lamp to explode.

The heat lamp also has a reflector which directs the light and heat straight down focusing it on whatever it is supposed to heat. Do not place heat emitter over glass or plexiglass. After 30 minutes the thermometer in the container with the halogen lamp gave a reading 20 f higher than the other box 135 f vs 115 f and the heat from the halogen lamp had actually. Ceramic heat emitter bulbs might be best when coupled with a better heat lamp than the ones found in the feed store.

If both lamps put out roughly the same amount of heat these two lamps should have effectively raised the temperature in both boxes to the same degree. Turn emitter on and allow to heat for 30. Do not allow reptile to contact the heat emitter. Clamp lamp at one end of the enclosure basking area and plug in.

There are much safer and sturdier heat lamps that can be found online such as the one that premier 1 offers on their website. In most cases a ceramic heater will be overkill. These would even be a better and safer choice to use with a regular heat lamp bulb than a metal clamp. The heat lamp also comes with an lr44 battery for the thermometer.
