- Remove old bulb: carefully unscrew any existing bulbs counterclockwise to remove them.
- Check compatibility: verify that the light fixture is compatible with the bulb and uses a standard E26 socket.
- Handle with care: to avoid grease or damage, carefully unpack the lightbulb without touching the glass.
- Install securely: make sure the lightbulb is securely seated in the socket by screwing it in clockwise.
- Position bulb: the bulb should be positioned to cover the reptile’s basking or resting area with the most heat possible.
- Maintain distance: to avoid burns, keep animals a safe distance from the bulb—at least 30 to 35 cm is advised.
- Use a proper fixture: to effectively direct heat, use an appropriate lamp fixture made for heat lamps, ideally one with a reflector.
- Avoid overheating: To avoid overheating and bulb damage, stay away from enclosed fixtures without ventilation.
- Check functionality: after turning on the power, be sure the red glow is visible and the bulb has heated up correctly.
- Adjust for temperature: to produce a temperature gradient inside the terrarium, change the height or angle of the fixtures.
- Use infrared at night: to prevent upsetting reptiles, use infrared heat at night instead of light.
- Replace as necessary: to maintain constant heat levels, swap out bulbs in pairs or as necessary.
- Avoid hazards: keep the lightbulb away from water sources and combustible objects.
- Store unused bulbs: Unused bulbs should be kept dry and cold in their original box.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
- Regular cleaning: to preserve heat efficiency and get rid of dust, wipe the bulb’s surface down with a gentle, dry cloth on a regular basis.

- Cool before handling: to prevent burns, make sure the lightbulb is cool before handling or cleaning.
- Inspect fixtures: periodically inspect the socket and fixture for corrosion or wear.
- Replace bulbs: To guarantee constant heat production, replace bulbs after they have reached their rated lifespan (2000–3000 hours).
- Limit cycling: steer clear of frequent on/off cycling since this can shorten the lifespan of bulbs.
- Control heat output: to control heat output and prolong the life of light bulbs, use a thermostat or rheostat.
- Avoid moisture: keep the lightbulb out of damp areas and moisture to avoid electrical dangers.
- Check for damage: check bulbs for cracks or discoloration; if any are found, replace them right away.
