The sun warms our planet and its creatures through terrestrial light wavelengths known as Infra-Red-A and Infra-Red-B, while Infra-Red-C is largely blocked by the atmosphere. These wavelengths carry significant energy as light photons reach the Earth, becoming bio-available to animals by penetrating their skin and providing natural warmth. For ectothermic creatures like reptiles, full-spectrum daylight delivers the essential energy they require to thrive. These terrestrial wavelengths are absorbed by objects in the environment, which then re-emit the energy as Infra-Red-C or heated air, acting as black bodies in the ecosystem.

Infra-Red-A and Infra-Red-B penetrate deep into an animals muscle tissues, offering a thorough warming effect similar to basking under natural sunlight. You can sense this comforting warmth by placing your hand near the lamp, feeling a pleasant tingle akin to stepping into the sun.

The Arcadia Reptile Deep Heat Projector (DHP) delivers vital heat deep into the body in a safe, natural manner as a broad flood of warmth. This enables captive reptiles to absorb heat as they would in their natural habitat, avoiding the dangers of overheating often linked to focused beam heat lamps. The heat is accessible directly through skin exposure and indirectly as it radiates back from warmed surfaces like rocks or decor in the basking area, mimicking natural belly warmth and raising ambient temperatures.

Remarkably, the Deep Heat Projector is highly energy-efficient, with an 80w model surpassing the heat output of a 100w CHE or traditional tungsten lamp. Its advanced design features a robust internal reflector, minimizing heat loss and ensuring rapid warm-up to maintain a consistent temperature.

For optimal use, pair the DHP with a reliable thermostat to precisely manage the thermal gradient, and verify temperatures using a high-quality non-contact laser thermometer. When used properly, this premium, handcrafted lamp offers long-lasting, stable heat. Emitting minimal visible light, it can be used day and night without disrupting critical circadian rhythms.

***Important Note: To maximize bulb longevity, always turn off power to the fixture BEFORE installing or removing the bulb.***

Arcadia Deep Heat Projector 80w

The revolutionary new Arcadia Reptile Deep Heat Projector uses cutting edge technology to produce the most natural and effective wavelengths of Infra-Red. These are Infra-Red-A and Infra-Red-B. These vital wavelengths have been almost impossible to replicate within a lamp up until now.

The sun provides us with heat through Infra-Red-A and Infra-Red-B but not Infra-Red-C which is filtered out by the atmosphere.

Infra-red-A and infra-red-B provides heat deep within the muscle tissues, warming the animal throughout just as it would in the wild. This is the warm tingly feeling that you experience when you walk out into natural sunlight.

The Arcadia Reptile Deep Heat Projector provides essential heat deep into the body in a safe and natural way as a usable flood. This will allow captive animals to use heat just as they would in the wild, without the risk of overheating associated with tight beam heat lamps.

The Arcadia Reptile Deep Heat Projector uses far less power! In-Fact a 50w Deep Heat projector can outperform a 100w CHE or tungsten heating lamp.

The Deep Heat Projector has an internal reflector, this means far less of the heat is wasted. It also heats up very quickly, reaching target basking temperature in a fraction of the usual time.

The Deep Heat Projector should be used with a dimming thermostat which will provide you with accurate control of your thermogradient.

The deep Heat projector produces virtually no visible light and can be used throughout the day and night. It will not upset the important day/night cycles (circadian rhythms)

Reptiles associate heat with high levels of light in the day, as such The Arcadia Reptile Deep Heat Projector is ideal for use alongside Arcadia Reptile UVB systems and Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED plant growth systems.

The Arcadia Reptile Deep Heat Projector really does have it all.
