Fluker’s Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb – 100 Watt for Reptiles
Fluker's Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb is a must-have for reptile enthusiasts, offering vital full-spectrum lighting that replicates natural sunlight. This bulb not only provides essential infrared heat but also aids in the regulation of your reptile’s body temperature, which is crucial for their health and well-being.
Reptiles depend on external heat sources to regulate their core temperature, and without this, they can develop chronic health problems such as digestive issues or infections due to an unsuitable environment.
This 100-watt bulb is ideal for a variety of reptiles, including bearded dragons, geckos, chameleons, and iguanas, providing a balanced spectrum of visible light and UVA rays that stimulate natural behaviors like feeding, activity, and reproduction.
The bulb is a perfect fit for clamp lamps and other incandescent fixtures, making it a practical solution for any reptile habitat.
What are the Benefits of Using Fluker’s Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb?
- Mimics Natural Sunlight: Replicates the full spectrum of daylight to promote a healthy and natural environment for reptiles.
- Improves Heat Regulation: Provides vital infrared heat to maintain optimal body temperature, reducing the risk of temperature-related health issues.
- Supports Healthy Behavior: The UVA radiation promotes natural behaviors like eating and breeding, ensuring your pet stays active and healthy.
- Versatile for Different Reptile Habitats: Suitable for use in a wide variety of enclosures, from glass terrariums to wood vivariums.
- Boosts Overall Health: Helps prevent common reptile illnesses such as metabolic bone disease, which can be caused by inadequate heat and UV exposure.
How to Use Fluker’s Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb?
- Fixture Compatibility: Ensure the bulb is gently fastened into a Repta-Clamp Lamp with Switch or any UL-approved incandescent fixture.
- Placement: Always place the light fixture outside the reptile’s enclosure. Direct contact with the bulb can lead to thermal burns, which are life-threatening for reptiles.
- Lighting Schedule: For optimal results, follow a 12-hour day/12-hour night cycle. This mimics the natural photoperiod and ensures your reptile maintains a healthy circadian rhythm. To observe your reptile at night without disturbing its sleep cycle, use a Fluker’s red night bulb.
- Monitor the Temperature: Multiple bulbs may be required to achieve the correct temperature. Use a thermometer to track the environment's temperature and adjust accordingly.
Warning: Always avoid placing the light fixture inside the reptile enclosure, as direct exposure can cause dangerous burns. Consult a veterinarian or reptile care expert to ensure your pet’s specific needs are met.
What are the Ingredients in Fluker’s Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb?
- Neodymium Glass: The bulb’s neodymium construction enhances light clarity and replicates the quality of natural daylight, making colors appear more vibrant inside your reptile’s enclosure.
- UVA Light: This bulb emits essential UVA light, which stimulates reptiles' natural behavior and plays a role in mood and appetite regulation.
Are There Any Side Effects of Fluker's Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb for Reptiles?
While Fluker’s Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb is safe when used properly, reptiles can develop burns or injuries if exposed to direct contact with the bulb. Always ensure that the bulb is securely installed outside the enclosure, and regularly check the temperature within the habitat to prevent overheating.

FAQs - Fluker's Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb for Reptiles
What is Fluker’s Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb used for?
Fluker's Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb is used to provide essential heat and light to reptiles, simulating natural sunlight. It helps regulate body temperature, promotes healthy behaviors like feeding and reproduction, and ensures reptiles live in a habitat that closely mimics their natural environment.
What is so special about Fluker’s Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb?
The bulb provides both visible light and infrared heat, replicating the full spectrum of daylight that reptiles need for overall health. Its neodymium glass enhances light clarity, making colors within the enclosure more vibrant, and the UVA output encourages natural behavior and activity in reptiles.
Can this bulb be used for amphibians?
Yes, Fluker’s Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb can be used for some amphibians, as it provides a balanced light spectrum that can benefit species requiring daylight and warmth. However, it’s essential to research the specific needs of the amphibian, as some may have different light and temperature requirements compared to reptiles.
Does this bulb help with calcium absorption in reptiles?
No, Fluker's Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb emits UVA light but not UVB light, which is necessary for calcium absorption and vitamin D3 synthesis. For reptiles that need UVB, a separate UVB bulb should be used alongside this full-spectrum daylight bulb.
How does this bulb mimic natural sunlight?
Fluker’s Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb replicates natural sunlight by emitting a balanced spectrum of light that includes visible light and infrared radiation. This mimics the heat and lighting reptiles would experience in their native habitats, helping to regulate their circadian rhythms and promoting natural behaviors.
How long should I leave the bulb on each day?
To mimic a natural light cycle, it’s recommended to provide 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness each day. This helps regulate your reptile’s behavior and sleep patterns. For nighttime observation without disturbing your pet’s sleep, consider using a red night bulb.
Is this bulb safe for glass enclosures?
Yes, Fluker's Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb can be used with glass enclosures, but the light fixture must be placed outside of the enclosure to prevent burns. The glass does not block the heat or visible light emitted by the bulb, making it effective in maintaining the appropriate environment for your reptile.
How far should the bulb be from the reptile?
The distance between the bulb and your reptile depends on the species and the specific heating needs. Generally, the bulb should be placed 12-18 inches above the basking area. Always monitor the temperature in the enclosure using a thermometer to ensure it is within the recommended range for your reptile.
Can I use the bulb with other heat sources?
Yes, the bulb can be used alongside other heat sources such as ceramic heat emitters or under-tank heaters. Combining multiple heat sources ensures that the temperature gradient in your reptile’s habitat is optimal, allowing your pet to move between warmer and cooler areas as needed.
How often should I replace Fluker’s Full-Spectrum Daylight Bulb?
Even if the bulb is still producing light, it should be replaced every 3-6 months to maintain consistent heat and light output. Over time, the effectiveness of the bulb’s infrared and UVA emissions diminishes, which can affect your reptile’s health and behavior.
