{"product_id":"exo-terra-halogen-basking-spot-lamp","title":"Exo Terra Halogen Basking Spot Lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Halogen Basking Spot is the efficiency option in Exo Terra's basking range — a halogen capsule inside a neodymium reflector, so more of the wattage ends up as usable light and infrared-A heat in the beam. The neodymium glass filters out the yellow cast an ordinary incandescent puts over a terrarium, so an animal's colour reads closer to true. Because Exo Terra rates it as high-efficiency with increased infrared output, a 50W halogen can drive a basking spot harder than a 50W standard bulb — size it down rather than up. It carries no UVB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo wattages, 50W and 100W.
