Komodo CERAMIC LAMP FIXTURE

John — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:24:00 +0000

Komodo products are made by Underworld one of the biggest suppliers and manufacturers in the UK. Their Komodo Ceramic Light Fitting is heat resistant and designed with the reptile keeper in mind. The Ceramic light fitting is an Edison screw type NOT bayonet and so will take most makes of reptile bulbs and ceramic heat emitters. It comes with a good length of power cable, an inline manual on/off switch and fitted 3 pin plug. Fixing the fitting into a wooden vivarium could not be easier, I use a screw in hook screwed into the inside top of the vivarium and loop the cable in place then secure it with a tie wrap to stop it from slipping. Fixing a heater or bulb guard is easily slipped over the Ceramic fitting and screwed in place.

Can be used with the following lamps and heat emitters all of which can be supplied by ValueAquatics

Arcadia          D3 Compact Reptile Lamp 23w
Exo Terra       Solar Glo Sun Lamp 125w & 160w

The ADCH Reptile Ceramic Lamp Holder is designed as a bulb holder for fitting into a vivarium, specifically with reptiles in mind. It has a ceramic E27 bulb holder (screw in not bayonet) that is fixed on a metal bracket; the metal bracket is flexible so it can be angled to direct the lamp to a specific spot. It is easily fitted into the vivarium by screwing the bracket into position on a wooden surface (screws are not supplied). The ADCH unit can also be fixed to all glass Vivariums and Terrariums with sticky pads (not supplied) or glued in using Araldite. The ADCH unit comes complete with a good length power cable, on/off switch and fitted plug.

Exo Terra Glow Light reflector

John — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:01:55 +0000

Exo Terra Glo light reflectors are as you would expect from Exo Terra made to a very high standard. They are finished in black with a high gloss white interior to reflect both light heat and infra red heat. I have found these to be very sturdy, strong and value for money. The Glo Light can be used with the following types of lights and heating.
Spot bulbs to give a daylight hot basking spot with both the Exo Terra Neodymium and the tight beam spot lights and Exo Terra Night Glo that simulates moonlight for viewing those reptiles that like to be active at night.
They are perfect for the Repti Glo UV compacts in three different UV strengths 2.0, 5.0 and 10.0 in 13w & 26w.

Exo Terra ceramic heat emitters up to 150w, and the infra red Exo Terra infra red Heat Glo Lamps.

Exo Terra solar Glo mercury vapours lamps that give out both heat, UV A and UV B
They Can be used with most bulbs that are screw fitting.

They have a heat resistant porcelain socket and on/off switch

They are perfect for Incandescent, compact fluorescent, infra Red bulbs and ceramic heat emitters up to 150w

Included is a spring-loaded swivel clamp (You may need to put two screw in hooks into the vivarium or a block of wood to attach the clamp to)

ValueAquatics offer the Glo Light Reflectors in three sizes

PT2052 Small 14cm (5.5”)

PT2054 Medium 21cm (8.5”)

PT2056 Large 25cm (10”)
