The Reptile Systems Gold Infrared Unit 200W offers an advanced heating solution, leveraging the latest infrared technology to provide substantial warmth with minimal visible light output. Designed to deliver consistent, energy-efficient heat, this unit is an innovative option for maintaining stable temperatures in specialized saltwater aquarium setups or fish rooms. It aims to support the overall well-being and natural activity of aquatic life by providing a gentle, non-disruptive heat source.
This unit is rich in both Infrared A and Infrared B wavelengths, ensuring deep heat penetration and high energy efficiency compared to traditional heating methods. It is crucial to use this 200W model with a dimming thermostat for precise temperature control, making it adaptable for various aquarium sizes or auxiliary heating needs. The infrared light itself contributes to optimal heat regulation within the environment, supporting metabolic processes without interfering with natural day-night cycles, thus reducing stress on sensitive aquatic inhabitants.
Ideal for reef keepers seeking a supplementary heat source or those with specialized aquariums requiring stable warmth without bright illumination, the Gold Infrared Unit 200W provides a unique approach to thermal management. Its ability to project heat over a broad area, much like natural solar radiation, creates a more natural thermal experience than conventional spot heaters. This system is particularly beneficial for maintaining ambient temperatures in open-top setups or fish rooms, ensuring a comfortable and consistent environment for your aquatic ecosystem.
| Uses the latest heating technology for reptiles. • Provides high levels of heat with low visible light. • Rich in Infrared A and Infrared B. • High energy efficiency compared to basking spots. • Should be used with a dimming thermostat. • High wattage model available for large enclosures. • Infrared light contributes to heat regulation within the animal. • Supports digestion, promotes well being and natural activity. • Suitable to use the main heat source in your terrarium. • Infrared reduces stress by not disrupting the day night cycle. What is infrared? The sun brings life to our planet on many different levels and interactions. As reptile keepers the three sectors we are interested in are ultraviolet, visible light and infra-red. The Suns spectral wavelengths are measured in nanometres (nm) and are divided into groups depending on the wavelengths. Infrared starts on the edge of visible light spectrum, where the human eye only sees between 400 and 700nm, we move into infrared ranges which are the wavelengths that keep us warm. The near infrared (IR-a) boarders around 700nm up to 1400nm, with IR-b around 1400 – 3000nm. After this its known as IR-c. What is a gold infrared lamp? The gold infrared lamp is so named because of the gold metallic sheen the product has when cold and switched off. Infrared light is virtually invisible to the human eye, with the low end just giving that red glow that you get from hot embers. A revolutionary feature of this product will be the wide range of outputs that will be available. The 75w, 100w, 200w and 400w are all compatible with the Gold Infrared Lamp Unit, making it the most compact and powerful unit in production. How does it work? This product provides a high level of heat and a low level of visible light. Infrared light is direct and not effected by air movement making it up to fifty percent more effective than other methods of heating. The heat is projected over a large area, which unlike that of spot lamp allows for a more natural basking experience. This large area is full of energy rich infrared which is reflected and absorbed by the surrounding surfaces much in the way the sun provides heat; you would feel a warm, pleasant sensation as the near infrared penetrated your skin and the heat that had been absorbed and stored by the sand under your feet which has been re-radiated by conduction. This radiator effect is IR-c as it will also heat the surrounding air, via convection, much in the same way a radiator will heat your home. This also explains the three ways heat is transferred: radiation, conduction and convection. How do I use it? The lamp is simple to use, much like any other type of heating product - think of it as a light bulb without the light! It should always be used with a dimming thermostat and the correct wattage for the size of enclosure and the amount of heat you wish to produce. It can also be used as the main source of heat for your enclosure. | Uses the latest heating technology for reptiles. • Provides high levels of heat with low visible light. • Rich in Infrared A and Infrared B. • High energy efficiency compared to basking spots. • Should be used with a dimming thermostat. • High wattage model available for large enclosures. • Infrared light contributes to heat regulation within the animal. • Supports digestion, promotes well being and natural activity. • Suitable to use the main heat source in your terrarium. • Infrared reduces stress by not disrupting the day night cycle.
