Height clearance requirements are the same as the shorter tube - around 40-50 cm between mounting point and basking perch, more for Desert or Dragon if you want the option of a lower index further from the lamp. In a long, low enclosure, two shorter tubes at each end can sometimes work better than one long tube in the centre - worth thinking through before you buy for an unusually shaped setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich strength do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStrength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUV-B\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTypical basking UVI\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForest 6%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2-4.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChameleons, day geckos, water dragons, forest and part-sun species\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesert 12%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.4-6.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBearded dragons, uromastyx, tortoises, open-basking desert and savannah species\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDragon 14%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2-7.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe strongest indoor baskers, tall enclosures, animals not reaching target UVI on a 12% lamp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFitting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT5 HO (high output) - requires a T5 HO controller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e850 mm (34\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWattage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUV-B output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForest 6% \/ Desert 12% \/ Dragon 14%, sold as separate variants\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUV-A output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour temperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7000K (Forest, Desert); 7500K (Dragon)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour rendering index\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95 CRI (Desert, Dragon)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRated lifespan\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 months before replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAA3075 (Forest 6%) - AA2516 (Desert 12%) - AA2597 (Dragon 14%)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNot included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTube only.

Check the actual surface or basking-spot temperature with a non-contact infrared thermometer rather than relying on the table above alone, since enclosure ventilation, ambient room temperature and reflector type all shift the real-world result. A guard is recommended wherever the animal, decor or its tail can make contact with the fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e reptiles and amphibians that need a genuine basking heat source, run alongside a UVB lamp rather than in place of one — the Deep Heat Projector supplies heat only, not UV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot suitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e use without a thermostat, use as the sole source of UVB (it has none), or mounting where an animal can climb onto or directly contact the fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lamp only.

Whatever that term is, it applies in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, which are not reduced by any manufacturer policy. This is a mains-powered item — 220-240V, 50Hz on an E27 fitting for the Australian market. Standard freight applies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need a thermostat with this lamp?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, always. Arcadia specifies a dimming thermostat for accurate control of the thermal gradient — running it without one risks overheating the basking zone, since the lamp has no built-in temperature limiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes the Deep Heat Projector give off any UVB?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a heat-only lamp using infrared-A and infrared-B wavelengths. Run it alongside a separate UVB lamp such as Arcadia's ProT5 or D3 compact range for a complete setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eShould I choose the 50W or the 80W?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch it to your enclosure size and target temperature using the table above. At 300mm the 50W reads 36°C and the 80W reads 44°C — if your species needs a hotter basking spot or your enclosure is larger, the 80W gives more headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I run it overnight?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It produces virtually no visible light, so many keepers use it for a 24-hour thermal gradient on species that need warmth around the clock without a light source disrupting their day-night cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it disturb my animal's day-night cycle like a basking bulb does?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — that's the point of the design. Because it emits effectively no visible light, it can stay on overnight without acting as a second \"daytime\" light source.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcadia","offers":[{"title":"50w","offer_id":55335324025123,"sku":"AA3103","price":69.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"80w","offer_id":55335404339491,"sku":"AA3104","price":76.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/arcadia-deep-heat-projector-43507423805731.webp?v=1790235656"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/collections\/solar-basking-floodlight-50-900-1.png?v=1788252538","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/collections\/arcadia.oembed","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
