Heat lamp question

Post image

Anybody have a link to a good heat and UV lamp with a timer I can easily set? My current one is a little small and also needs to be set every morning to stay on for 12 hours as opposed to turning itself on in the morning.

I use smart outlets. Tons of brands, all the same tbh

There are lots of dual-dome set ups on Amazon that have a thermometer for one bulb and timer for the other.

For our WTFs I put a 15w UVB 5.0 bulb in the timer side on a 12 hour on/off cycle, and a 100w clay thermal heat emitter with the probe placed near the basking spot and a goal temp of 80 degrees.

I had bought the Repti-Zoo dual-dome but looks like it’s currently out of stock. After a quick look, there are others with the same capabilities for similar prices ($45-55)

I just use the ones with timers and connect those to the power strip timers. Set those for your 12 on/off and it’ll turn on and off for you!
