Product Information

One source in here suggests just outside the cone of projection but then I read that it should be positioned on the hot spot. Deep heat projectors (DHPs) are a type of heating lamp that emits infrared heat. They are a popular desire for reptile owners because they provide a more herbal supply of heat than other forms of heating lamps, along with incandescent bulbs. Can be a fireplace risk if no longer used nicely. DHPs need to usually be used with a thermostat to save you from overheating. They must additionally be positioned away from flammable materials.

The projector has to be placed a minimum of 12 inches away from the animal. This will help to prevent the animal from getting burned. Deep heat projector (DHPs) are a kind of heating lamp that emits infrared warmness. They are a famous desire for reptile owners due to the fact they offer a more natural supply of heat than other styles of heating lamps, inclusive of incandescent bulbs. Here are a number of the blessings of the usage of a Deep Heat Projector To do this we use true IR which is largely invisible to the eye. In fact, this lamp only produces a small amount of short wavelength IR, so visible light is under 4 lux, meaning it can be used 24/7. So, energy is projected forward as a localised flood. This is absorbed in part and reflected to cause convection. This then heats the air which in turn heats the viv. The best choice can be a heating pad + a 25-50 watt light bulb. But if the pad heats your ball python’s tank to desired temperatures, you can have a table lamp (in the room) or similar, to light up your ball python’s tank. Light shining in the tank will be sufficient.Link to photos, video and the entire description - http://www.reptilebasics.com/heat-emitters/deep-heat-projector-50w/ The Arcadia Reptile ClampLamp-Graphite range has been designed for both usability and style. As we increase the number of lamps used to supply for the needs of our Reptiles and plants in the home it is equally important that the tech that we use fits in with our home furnishings.

The Arcadia Deep Heat Projector is available to buy today at Internet Reptile in both 50w and 80w versions. ThermalZooPro can be easily adjusted to the needs of each species and within each enclosure type with easy to remove and exchange ‘linking’ electronics. This means that ThermalZooPro is future proof for all product updates. Leos are also crepuscular, mostly active at dawn and dusk, so although you can see them active during the day, normally they are partly hidden away. 35C is absolutely fine as a max basking temp, it will then have a good range of temps all around that and they will thermoregulate and do the rest themselves, but thats why you need that proper temp gradient, so they can properly thermoregulate. Alot of these are people still using old husbandry from over a decade ago, relying on heat mats to give hot spots but the rest of the setup is then often not warm enough.The bulb needs to also be replaced every 6-twelve months, depending on the producer’s instructions. The average deep heat projector has a parabolic aluminized reflector housing which helps direct the radiation of infrared waves in a more controlled and localized area without adversely intensifying into a tight beam of heat. All heat and lighting should be switched off at night, have your UV and basking lamp set up on the same times as dawn/dusk really (you can look at daylight hours for pakistan if you want a real guide to try and follow and emulate in terms of how long things should be on).

You might find it interesting to look at temperatures and daylight patterns in and around pakistan, which is their natural habitat area. You will notice temps arent going to be that high, but you need to remember surface temps are going to be different to air temps (especially stone thats sat in broad daylight all day). You dont want a surface temp more than 35C really, a degree or two wont hurt, but you want areas that it can actually use, if you then measure air temps in the same area, it will be lower than the surface temp. Ensure you have lots of ventilation (DHP's can pump a lot of heat out, and in small vivs can overpower them...dont know you viv size).Monitor the animal’s behavior to make sure it may be not getting too warm or too bloodless. If the animal is keeping off the basking spot, the temperature can be too high. Additionally, If the animal is panting or lethargic, the temperature can be too low.
