Arcadia Halogen Basking Spot 100W

Product Information

of multifaceted reflector "MR" lamps of 20–50 watts were originally conceived for the projection of 8 mm film, but are now widely used for display lighting and in the home. More recently, wider beam versions have become available designed for direct use on supply voltages of 120 or 230 V. There are significant disparities between the kinds of electric infrared heaters available. Major differences exist in their effectiveness and suitability in differing outdoor settings. Arcadia Reptile wide beam Halogen heat Lamps are powerful, robust and should be used with a suitable dimming thermostat. Standard and halogen incandescent bulbs are much less efficient than LED and compact fluorescent lamps, and therefore have been or are being phased out in many places.

The Arcadia Reptile 100w Halogen Flood lamp is powerful, crisp, bright and Infra-Red-A rich. This is a very adaptable, energy efficient lamp being better reflected and insulated than standard glass lamps, which means that this large 100w PAR38 flood lamp can for most replace up to a 150w+ standard tungsten spot lamps. This can equate to considerable energy use savings whilst also greatly widening the beam width or ‘projection zone’.

Patio heaters for use at home or in the garden

Home use gas heaters can still be a good option. Especially if your intended use is a few hours a week or short bursts during summer months. The additional running costs of gas patio heatersand the type of heat a gas heater delivers will not necessarily become a detrimental factor. If you're drawn to the aesthetic look of an open flame, it will also be hard to discount gas as your preferred choice. They also benefit from complete portability. Guests also like the very stylish spiral flames of the Santini ECO gas heater. This is the ‘BIG ONE’, Arcadia Reptile Halogen Flood lamps are our most popular heating lamps and for a good reason. They are powerful, dependable and able to deliver high levels of heat over a very wide area. Our PAR38 100 Watt Halogen Flood lamp is perfect for use in larger caging for larger species. Being able to cover the whole body of large species at safe fitting distances is a must for keepers, ensuring reliable IR-A rich warming and user safety. This is not a lamp to take chances with, it can deliver 70C at 15” to dark slate, so please do use suitable dimming thermostatic control. Beam radius is a whopping 9”/23cm+ at 15” with solid heating over the whole central area. Arcadia Reptile are proud to introduce our most popular halogen flood heating lamp. This is our PAR30 75Watt Halogen Flood lamp.

The Arcadia Reptile PAR20 50 Watt Halogen Flood lamp is a small lamp with a lot of punch. This is our ‘mid-beam’ lamp which is powerful, crisp, bright and Infra-Red-A rich. This is a very energy efficient lamp being better reflected and insulated than standard glass lamps. This small PAR20 50w lamp has a clear front which means that this small lamp can for most replace up to a 75w standard tungsten spot lamp. This can equate to considerable energy use savings for smaller species with a higher heat requirement. It's also important to be aware of cheap copies of infrared patio heaters - the old adage "you get what you pay for" applies to most things in life and it's no different whenconsidering what patio heater to buy. Cheaper outdoor heaters will often only use ordinary glass which does not allow heat to pass through and can shatter under heat duress. The component parts give poor heat output and sometimes an inadequate lamp life of around 12 hours rather than 5,000 - 7,000 hours we strive for throughout the Shadow range of high-performance patio heaters. In a consumer or home setting, the choices are just as great. However, there are a lot of really poor products out there. In many circumstances they look like a good buy, yet, CAVEAT EMPTOR!don't deliver on their advertised performance. A 2kW rating on the box is telling you the power it consumes and not necessarily its heat output. There are often massive differences between a technologically advanced 2kW infrared heater and a poorly developed, cheaper 2kW alternative patio heater. We go into more detail about the exactly why in the sections below.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a halogen heater?

The bulb must be made of fused silica (quartz) or a high-melting-point glass (such as aluminosilicate glass). Since quartz is very strong, the gas pressure can be higher, [14] which reduces the rate of evaporation of the filament, permitting it to run a higher temperature (and so luminous efficacy) for the same average life. The tungsten released in hotter regions does not generally redeposit where it came from, so the hotter parts of the filament eventually thin out and fail. The Arcadia Reptile 75w PAR30 Halogen Flood lamp has a built-in metal reflector for optimal light delivery to the basking zone and can deliver high temperatures over a wide area. The Arcadia Reptile Halogen PAR20 50w heat lamp has a built-in metal reflector for optimal light delivery to the basking zone. Arcadia Reptile wide beam Halogen Flood Lamps are powerful, robust and should always be used with a suitable dimming thermostat.
