Arcadia Halogen Basking Spot 100W

Product Information

The Arcadia Reptile Halogen PAR20 50w heat lamp has a built-in metal reflector for optimal light delivery to the basking zone. The Arcadia Reptile 75w Halogen Flood lamp is powerful, crisp, bright and Infra-Red-A rich. This is a very adaptable, energy efficient lamp being better reflected and insulated than standard glass lamps, which means that this mid-size 75w PAR30 flood lamp can for most replace up to a 100w standard tungsten spot lamp. This can equate to considerable energy use savings whilst also greatly widening the beam width or ‘projection zone’. The Arcadia Reptile 75w PAR30 Halogen Flood lamp has a built-in metal reflector for optimal light delivery to the basking zone and can deliver high temperatures over a wide area. The running cost of most electric patio heaters is around 34p per kW/hour. There are several ways to ensure that costs are kept low without compromising on heat for those using the outside space. As we have seen, the most efficient electric heater are short-wave heaters. These heaters can be left switched off when the area is not in use. They work instantly when heat is needed again so need no warming up.

Some heaters are marketed with a high IP (ingress proof) rating, for example, IP65. Although we deliver IP65 in many of our products ask yourself if this is worth any additional cost before specifying it or paying extra for it. Ask yourself if it is necessary for your application. Many heaters are installed under some cover, like an awning or parasol which provides some protection. If so, then IP24 is a good enough rating for permanent outdoor installation.

Don't pay for features you don't need

Arcadia Reptile wide beam Halogen Flood Lamps are powerful, robust and should always be used with a suitable dimming thermostat. A halogen lamp (also called tungsten halogen, quartz-halogen, and quartz iodine lamp) is an incandescent lamp consisting of a tungsten filament sealed in a compact transparent envelope that is filled with a mixture of an inert gas and a small amount of a halogen, such as iodine or bromine. The combination of the halogen gas and the tungsten filament produces a halogen-cycle chemical reaction, which redeposits evaporated tungsten on the filament, increasing its life and maintaining the clarity of the envelope. This allows the filament to operate at a higher temperature than a standard incandescent lamp of similar power and operating life; this also produces light with higher luminous efficacy and color temperature. The small size of halogen lamps permits their use in compact optical systems for projectors and illumination. The small glass envelope may be enclosed in a much larger outer glass bulb, which has a lower temperature, protects the inner bulb from contamination, and makes the bulb mechanically more similar to a conventional lamp. [1] Arcadia Reptile Halogen Flood lamps should be used alongside an appropriate UV producing system such as ProT5 and can be paired with Genuine Arcadia Reptile Deep Heat Projectors and JungleDawn-LED Bars. of multifaceted reflector "MR" lamps of 20–50 watts were originally conceived for the projection of 8 mm film, but are now widely used for display lighting and in the home. More recently, wider beam versions have become available designed for direct use on supply voltages of 120 or 230 V.

The bulb must be made of fused silica (quartz) or a high-melting-point glass (such as aluminosilicate glass). Since quartz is very strong, the gas pressure can be higher, [14] which reduces the rate of evaporation of the filament, permitting it to run a higher temperature (and so luminous efficacy) for the same average life. The tungsten released in hotter regions does not generally redeposit where it came from, so the hotter parts of the filament eventually thin out and fail. Electric infrared heaters offering significant benefits over gas alternatives. However gas heaters do still remain a popular choice for many restaurants and bars. Often, they're a picturesque and captivating feature of an outdoors space. This has been shown to draw in customers to an entrance way or outdoor area. They're relatively straightforward to assemble and their gas cylinders can be easily refilled. The unit itself being very portable to different areas as needed

Patio heaters for commercial use

The Arcadia Reptile PAR20 50 Watt Halogen Flood lamp is a small lamp with a lot of punch. This is our ‘mid-beam’ lamp which is powerful, crisp, bright and Infra-Red-A rich. This is a very energy efficient lamp being better reflected and insulated than standard glass lamps. This small PAR20 50w lamp has a clear front which means that this small lamp can for most replace up to a 75w standard tungsten spot lamp. This can equate to considerable energy use savings for smaller species with a higher heat requirement. Arcadia Reptile are proud to introduce our most popular halogen flood heating lamp. This is our PAR30 75Watt Halogen Flood lamp. Creating a pleasant and comfortable area for customers to be outside is no longer optional. In the hospitality sector it's an essential requirement to maximise potential profits. Ensure no space underutilised even when temperatures drop. It can be staggering to see how much of an impact a simple installation can have on trade. Some careful research into the options available for heating will ensure that your heated outdoor is efficient. The area can then help to improve profits and is rarely a drain upon them.
