Exo Terra PT2048 Ceramic Heater 250W 110V The does exactly what it says it does, and I used it with the "required" Exo Terra wire fixture. It lasted 4 months and failed. I discovered that it was not putting out heat when my Bearded Dragon became unusually inactive. Turns out that the base of the lamp where the hot side of the circuit touches the tab in the socket was burnt and separated from the base of the lamp and the lamp itself had burnt out. The tab in the socket was black as if there had been excessive heat or arching. Exo Terra requires that the heater must be used with only it's wire enclosed socket, so that is what I bought. It is also to last 5 years... mine lasted 4 months and 10 days. I have ordered another, we'll see how it goes. My terrarium is a large one and requires a 250 watt ceramic heater to maintain the temperature. While it worked, it did the job. I plan to contact the company and see what they have to say. One other note, even though it is a 250W heater, I still needed a basking lamp and infrared lamp to maintain the hot side temperature in my terrarium. That was not a problem, but worth nothing that the 250W is not enough alone.

This is a radient heat source and creates a natural sun-like heat with a uniform pattern. The long wave infrared heat produced by this emitter will warm reptiles very efficiently. It also increases the ambient air-temperature in the terrarium.
