Quick Summary
The Lustaled Retractable Reptile Heat Lamp is a dimmable E27 lamp holder with a timer, made for use with reptile heating bulbs up to 100 W. It has a retractable design, a hanging hook and a mesh guard, with bulb compatibility that includes bulbs up to 9 cm in diameter and 11 cm in height.
The unit is intended for terrariums and similar reptile setups where a controlled basking area is needed. The bulb is not included, so the buyer needs to choose a compatible E27 bulb separately.

What to Compare Before Buying
- Bulb fit: Check the E27 base, the 100 W limit and the bulb size limits of 9 cm diameter and 11 cm height.
- Control needs: Compare the 7 dimming levels and 3 timer settings with the level of control you want.
- Space in the enclosure: The retractable body and 11 cm to 20 cm height range affect where the lamp can sit.
- Cable reach: The 1.8 m cord affects how far the unit can be placed from the power point.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
This lamp holder is made for E27 bulbs and is described as suitable for reptile and amphibian setups. Check the bulb’s base, diameter and height before ordering, because the shade opening and stated bulb-size limits matter more than appearance alone. The product is not a bulb, so the heating element must be bought separately.
What Else You May Need
A compatible E27 bulb is required, as the bulb is not included. Choose a bulb that stays within the stated size limits and power rating.
Safe Use and Important Precautions
The mesh guard is intended to reduce direct contact with the hot bulb, but the lamp should still be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure the selected bulb matches the stated 100 W maximum and the size limits for this holder.
Before You Decide
Confirm the E27 fitting, the 100 W maximum and the bulb-size limits before choosing an offer. Check that the retractable height range and 1.8 m cord suit your enclosure layout. Remember that the bulb is not included, so a compatible bulb will also be needed.
