Zoo Med Mini Deep Dome Lamp Fixture
A deep dome that fully swallows the bulb. The Zoo Med Mini Deep Dome Lamp Fixture (model LF-18) is a 14 cm (5.5″) aluminium dome fixture with a genuine ceramic socket rated to 125 W. The extra-deep housing fully recesses taller bulbs – including compact fluorescent UVB tubes – so nothing pokes out below the rim, while the polished interior directs light and heat down into the enclosure.
Suits nano to mid-size terrariums running a single heat or UVB bulb.
Key features
- 125 W ceramic socket – rated for ceramic heat emitters, halogen and incandescent basking bulbs, and compact fluorescent UVB bulbs.
- Extra-deep dome – fully recesses taller bulbs like compact fluorescent UVB lamps so the tip doesn't sit proud of the housing.
- Polished aluminium interior – reflects light and heat down into the enclosure rather than losing it sideways.
- Spring clamp mount – fits an enclosure rim, mesh lid or a separate lamp stand.
- Compact 14 cm (5.5″) size – suited to nano and mid-size terrariums where a full-size dome is oversized.

What's included, and what you'll still need
Included: the dome fixture, ceramic socket, cord and spring clamp. Not included: the bulb – choose a basking bulb, ceramic heat emitter or compact fluorescent UVB bulb rated to 125 W or under, sized to your species.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for nano to mid-size terrariums running a single heat or UVB bulb up to 125 W, including compact fluorescent UVB tubes that need the extra dome depth. Not suitable for bulbs rated above 125 W, and not designed as a submersible or outdoor fixture.
Safety
Never exceed the 125 W ceramic socket rating. Clamp the fixture securely before switching it on, keep the dome clear of anything flammable, and use a lamp stand where there's nothing solid to clamp to.
Care and maintenance
Zoo Med notes the metal contact tab in the socket can be gently bent forward if a bulb isn't making firm contact. Wipe the dome down when cool; don't submerge it.
Warranty and delivery
Zoo Med covers this fixture with a 1-year manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Standard shipping applies.
Common questions
Will this fit a compact fluorescent UVB bulb?
Yes – the extra-deep dome is specifically sized to fully recess compact fluorescent UVB tubes, which are taller than a standard basking bulb.
Does it come with a bulb?
No, the bulb is sold separately so you can match wattage and type to your enclosure and species.
What's the maximum wattage?
125 W – check any bulb's rating against this before fitting it, and never exceed 125 W in this fixture.
How does it mount?
A spring clamp fits an enclosure rim, mesh lid or a separate lamp stand.
