Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What's included in the Day & Night Desert Lighting Kit?

Ans: The kit includes a Mini Combo Deep Dome Lamp Fixture, a 75-watt Repti Basking Spot Lamp, and a 75-watt Nocturnal Infrared Heat Lamp. Together, they provide a daytime basking site with UVA and 24-hour heat with very little visible light at night.

Q2: Does this kit provide UVB?

Ans: No. Zoo Med's Lamp Chart shows that neither the Basking Spot Lamp nor the Nocturnal Infrared Lamp provides UVB. The basking lamp provides UVA, while the infrared lamp emits no UVA. If your desert species needs UVB, ask your veterinarian about adding a UVB lamp.

Q3: How is the basking lamp different from a regular spot lamp?

Ans: Its patented double reflector focuses 35% more heat and light than regular spot lamps, according to Zoo Med. The tighter beam creates a more effective basking site than ordinary reflector bulbs and also increases the overall air temperature inside the terrarium.

Q4: Can I watch my reptile at night?

Ans: Yes. The Nocturnal Infrared Heat Lamp provides very little visible light, so it does not disturb your animals' sleep patterns, and Zoo Med calls it excellent for nocturnal viewing. Its spot reflector focuses heat into the enclosure while minimizing nighttime glare.

Q5: What fixture comes with the kit?

Ans: The kit includes the Mini Combo Deep Dome Fixture, a single fixture with two 5.5-inch domes, each rated at 100 watts. Its polished aluminum domes increase light and UV output up to 30%, and the deep domes keep the lamps from sticking out.

Q6: What warranty comes with the kit?

Ans: Zoo Med does not list a separate warranty for the kit itself. It lists a 1-year warranty for the Mini Combo Deep Dome Lamp Fixture and a 3-month warranty each for the Repti Basking Spot Lamp and Nocturnal Infrared Heat Lamp.
