Level Up Your Reptileโs Basking with Infrared!ย
Infrared lighting delivers biologically useful heat to your reptiles!
โธป
Provides Deep, Natural Heat
Unlike standard basking bulbs that primarily raise ambient temperatures within a basking area, Infrared Gold emitsย IR-A and IR-B wavelengths โ the same types of infrared produced by the sun โ to deliver the most beneficial heat to your reptile.
IR-A is highly efficient at deeply penetrating muscle tissue which improves:
โข Thermoregulation
โข Muscle function
โข Digestion
โข Overall activity levels

Efficient Surface Heating
Rather than raising the temperatures around a narrow basking spot, Infrared Gold warms objects and surfaces, not just the surrounding air.
Absorbed heat is then re-radiated into the enclosure, mimicking how reptiles experience heat in nature, and creating a broader, more usable basking zone.

Low Levels of Visible Light
Infrared produces high heat with low levels of visible light, making it perfect for daytime supplemental heating for all species, including crepuscular species and those sensitive to light.
When paired with a halogen or basking bulb, full-spectrum lighting, and UVB, the soft glow of Infrared Gold blends seamlessly into other visible light sources.ย

Why Infrared Matters in Reptile Care
Infrared heat is how reptiles have evolved to warm their bodies โ throughย radiation, conduction, and convection.
Infrared delivers energy-rich heat directly to the animal and surrounding surfaces, closely replicating the way the sun heats both the environment and the animal in the wild.
The result is a more natural basking experience for better overall welfare!

How to Use Infrared Lighting Correctly
โข Always run all heating elements on a quality dimming thermostat
โข Mount securely out of reach from enclosure inhabitants
โข Avoid touching the bulb with your bare hands during instillation
โข Inspect all heating elements often
โข Pair with a halogen bulb, linear UVB, and full-spectrum LED for the most natural and efficient lighting setup
