FAQs

What type of fitting does this lamp use?

The Arcadia Solar Basking Floodlight uses a standard E27 fitting.

Can I use this lamp with a thermostat?

Yes, it can be used with a dimming thermostat (sold separately) for precise temperature control.

What is the benefit of UVA light?

UVA light is beneficial for reptiles as it aids in their well-being and helps them regulate their behavior.

How often should I replace the bulb?

Replace the bulb when it burns out or as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure optimal performance and UVA output.

What is the difference between a floodlight and a spotlight?

A floodlight provides a wider beam of light and heat, covering a larger area, while a spotlight concentrates light and heat into a smaller, more focused area.

How do I clean the bulb?

Use a dry cloth to clean the bulb. Ensure the lamp is turned off and cooled down before cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Lamp doesn't turn on.

Check the power connection and ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the E27 fitting. Test the bulb in another fixture to rule out a faulty bulb.

Enclosure is not warm enough.

Adjust the lamp's distance from the basking spot or use a higher wattage bulb if appropriate for your enclosure. Ensure the enclosure is properly insulated.

Bulb burns out quickly.

Ensure the lamp is receiving the correct voltage. Check for any electrical issues. Replace the bulb with a new one.
