Level Up Your Reptile’s Basking with Reptile Systems Infrared Gold!
Reptile Systems Infrared Gold is designed to deliver biologically useful heat to your reptiles.
⸻
Provides Deep, Natural Heat
Unlike standard basking bulbs that primarily raise ambient temperatures within a basking area, Infrared Gold emits IR-A and IR-B wavelengths — the same types of infrared produced by the sun – to deliver the most beneficial heat to your reptile.
IR-A is highly efficient at deeply penetrating muscle tissue which improves:
• Thermoregulation
• Muscle function
• Digestion
• 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 Gold 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.
⸻
Versatile For Many Species and Enclosure Sizes
The Infrared Gold is perfect for mid-day basking species when paired with halogen bulbs to help round out the heating and lighting spectrum, allowing your reptile to benefit from basking as much as possible.
Available in 50w, 100w, 200w and 400w for a wide range of enclosure sizes and applications.
⸻
Why Infrared Matters in Reptile Care
Infrared heat is how reptiles have evolved to warm their bodies — through radiation, conduction, and convection.
Infrared Gold 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 Gold Correctly
• Always run all heating elements on a quality dimming thermostat
• Mount securely out of reach from enclosure inhabitants
• Avoid touching the bulb with your bare hands during instillation
• Inspect all heating elements often
• Pair with a halogen bulb, linear UVB, and full-spectrum LED for the most natural and efficient lighting setup
