Exo Terra Mirror Dome Terrarium Light, 7-Inch Reflector with Ceramic Socket

The Exo Terra Mirror Dome Light is a 7-inch (17.78 cm) terrarium lighting fixture with a polished aluminum reflector and ceramic socket, made to fit over Exo Terra terrariums.

• Polished aluminum reflector — increases light, UVB and UVA output by up to 100%.
• Extra-deep reflector dome — provides the fixture’s reflective dome design.
• Ceramic socket — accommodates compact fluorescent or incandescent bulbs.
• Small format for Exo Terra terrariums — fits neatly on the top screen cover.
• Accepts compatible Exo Terra bulbs — incandescent bulbs up to 75W or compact fluorescent bulbs up to 26W.

Terrarium lighting setups can call for different bulb types and more than one fixture. This dome gives you a dedicated fixture for compatible Exo Terra bulbs, with the reflector and socket built into one unit. Its compact format is designed for placement on the screen cover of an Exo Terra terrarium, while multiple fixtures can be combined with specific bulbs to build a lighting arrangement suited to your setup.

How does the reflector affect terrarium lighting?

The highly polished aluminum reflector is designed to increase light, UVB and UVA output by up to 100%. Its extra-deep dome provides the reflective surface, making the reflector design a key part of this fixture’s lighting function. The output claim is a maximum, not a guaranteed increase for every bulb or setup.

• Reflector material: highly polished aluminum.
• Dome design: extra deep.

Which bulbs can I use with the Mirror Dome Light?

The ceramic socket accommodates compact fluorescent and incandescent bulbs. The fixture is intended for Exo Terra incandescent bulbs rated up to 75W and Exo Terra compact fluorescent bulbs rated up to 26W, so choose a bulb within the limit for its type.

• Incandescent bulb limit: 75W maximum.
• Compact fluorescent bulb limit: 26W maximum.

How does the fixture fit on a terrarium?

The 7-inch dome is sized to sit neatly on the top screen cover of Exo Terra terrariums. It can also be used alongside additional fixtures with specific light bulbs when a setup calls for a combination of lighting. The Mirror Dome Light is made for this terrarium placement, rather than described as a general-purpose household lamp. Its country of origin is Taiwan.

• Placement: on the terrarium’s top screen cover.
• Multiple fixtures can be combined with specific bulbs.

This fixture suits Exo Terra terrarium owners choosing between compatible incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs, including those assembling a setup with multiple fixtures. Its defined fit is the top screen cover of an Exo Terra terrarium, with bulb selection guided by the socket type and wattage limits.
