Fluker's Repta-Clamp Lamp with Ceramic Sockets
Fluker's Repta-Clamp Lamp with Ceramic Sockets is the budget-oriented choice for basking lamp reflector domes and shades, offering a durable ceramic socket and a strong clamp that lets you position the lamp precisely over a basking area. It outcompetes pricier deep-dome fixtures on upfront cost and socket heat tolerance, though its smaller, less-reflective dome gives less focused UV and heat throw than the deeper Zoo Med and Zilla domes.
