{"product_id":"zoo-med-repticare-ceramic-heat-emitter","title":"Zoo Med ReptiCare Ceramic Heat Emitter","description":"\u003cp\u003eA flat-faced ceramic element that radiates infrared heat and emits no light at all, which makes it the cleanest way to hold overnight temperatures without disturbing a day–night cycle. Two things follow from that: it needs a ceramic or porcelain socket, never plastic, and because there is no visual cue that it is running, it should be on a thermostat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo light output\u003c\/strong\u003e — usable 24 hours a day without affecting the light cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree wattages\u003c\/strong\u003e — 60W, 100W and 150W.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlat-faced design\u003c\/strong\u003e — Zoo Med rates it as more efficient and longer-lasting than conical emitters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 5 years\u003c\/strong\u003e — around 25,000 hours average life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZoo Med's guidance is 60W for roughly 40–75L enclosures, 100W for 110–150L and 150W for 190–230L. As a rough guide it lifts enclosure air temperature something like 6–11°C above room temperature, but that varies enormously with enclosure size and ventilation, so set it with a thermometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorcelain or ceramic socket only.
