Made For Reptiles - Ceramic Lamps
Reptiles and amphibians are ectothermic, or cold-blooded, which means that their internal physiological sources of heat, which control body temperature, are very small. They therefore rely on external heat to warm their bodies. The use of a proper heating system is therefore a very important part of a vivarium setup.
Victory’s ceramic Infrared heater lamps provide a simple and effective way to give the animals the heat they need. They emit no light – just the warmth that they need to control their body temperature.
Victory Lighting is a manufacturer of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) lighting and heating products.
Made For Reptiles is a range of herpetological light and heat products for use in vivariums, developed by Victory to provide the correct combination of heat and light to suit a wide range of captive reptile species, recreating as far as possible the animals natural environment.
Natural Light & Warmth
Captive reptiles require sufficiently large species specific micro habitats that must replicate their natural habitat in order to maintain good health.
Sunlight, heat, UVB gradients, shelter and basking areas are all required to help achieve this. Victory's Made for Reptiles range has been created to help meet these needs.
The range incorporates both UV & infrared products to provide natural light & warmth.
Healthy Reptiles Need
- Healthy diet and environment
- Stimulation of natural circadian rhythms
- Vitamin D3
- Stimulation of natural mating instincts
- Good appetite
Benefits of Victory's Ceramic Lamps
Ceramic IR heaters emit long wave infrared light to provide radiant, invisible heat to create natural sunlike heat in reptile vivariums. It penetrates the scales and skin tissue and widens blood vessels, increasing blood circulation and so promoting health & healing.
The Made For Reptiles infrared lamps produce no light and therefore do not interrupt sleep patterns. The lamps are splash resistant which make them ideal for humid environments.
Our ceramic lamps last up to 20,000 hours and therefore ideal for providing the required heat 24 hours a day. They are easy to fit thanks to the ES/E27 fitting.

Made For Reptiles - UV Lamps
UV lamps provide a source of UVA & UVB light, which are essential for the continued health of reptiles. In their natural habitat these would come from sun light.
UVA aids general health, appetite, circadian rhythm and mating instincts, while UVB light allows the synthesis of vitamin D3, which helps to absorb calcium. This aids good bone health.
