The Zoo Med Wire Cage Clamp Lamp Silver 1ea is designed to deliver safe, reliable overhead heat and light for your reptile enclosure. Built around a heat-resistant ceramic socket, this fixture is made to handle up to 150 watts, giving you the flexibility to use powerful basking bulbs or ceramic heat emitters for species that demand higher temperatures.

Safer than traditional dome reflectors

Instead of a solid metal dome, this fixture uses an open wire cage guard. The cage design allows heat to escape more efficiently, helping to reduce unnecessary heat buildup around the bulb and fixture. This not only supports a more stable enclosure temperature, it also helps lower the risk of accidental hand burns when you’re working around the lamp.

Durable, heat-resistant construction

• Ceramic socket: Built to withstand continuous high temperatures from incandescent bulbs and ceramic heat emitters up to 150W.
• Wire cage guard: Protects the bulb from direct contact while promoting better airflow around the lamp.
• Silver finish: Clean, neutral look that blends easily with most terrarium setups and stands.

Secure clamp for flexible placement

The integrated clamp lets you mount the fixture to tank rims, shelves, or lamp stands, making it easy to position heat and light exactly where your reptile needs it. Aim the lamp over a basking spot, hide, or perch to create a precise thermal gradient inside the habitat.

U.L. approved with Zoo Med Ceramic Heat Emitters

This is the only Zoo Med Clamp Lamp fixture that is U.L. approved when used with Zoo Med Ceramic Heat Emitters. That added level of testing and certification gives you extra confidence when running high-output heat sources for long periods.

Ideal for many reptile species

Use this clamp lamp over glass tanks or screen-topped terrariums for reptiles that require overhead heat and basking spots, such as:

• Bearded dragons
• Leopard geckos (for warm-side heating)
• Corn snakes and king snakes
• Ball pythons (as part of a properly monitored heating system)
• Uromastyx, blue-tongued skinks, and other desert species

Always pair the fixture with appropriate bulbs or ceramic heat emitters for your species and monitor temperatures with a reliable thermometer or thermostat.
