IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - READ BEFORE OPERATING THE LAMP
This lamp emits Ultraviolet radiation in both UVA and UVB wavebands. Do not stare directly at the lamp
while in use and avoid prolonged direct exposure to the lamp at close range.
RISK OF BURNING - The lamp gets very hot in normal operation, do not touch the lamp when it is
operating and allow at least 15 minutes for it to cool down after switching off before attempting to handle
the lamp, or trying to move or adjust the fixture.
FIRE HAZARD – Do not allow the lamp to come into contact with any combustible materials, the lamp
should be used in an appropriate securely mounted protective fixture and located away from curtains, soft
furnishings and other flammable materials.
Do not splash the lamp with water or other liquids – if the glass of the lamp breaks or cracks, unplug the
fixture and allow the lamp to cool before removing and replacing the lamp.
Only for use with an appropriately rated luminaire or fixture with a ceramic E26 lamp holder – this lamp
must not be used with conventional domestic luminaires or fixtures, as these are not designed to cope
with the operating temperature of the lamp and will pose a fire hazard.
INSTALLATION AND CARE OF THE D3 EVO BASKING LAMP
The D3 EVO Basking Lamp is designed for use above large well-ventilated vivaria. We suggest a
minimum width of 24" (60cm) and length of 36" – 48" (100 - 120cm) to ensure there is an adequate
temperature gradient and cool area away from the lamp.
To ensure safe UV exposure, the MINIMUM distance from lamp to reptile is 8" (20cm) [100W]. Given that
many basking species require a raised basking zone (a shelf, rock or branch), in practice this means
that the minimum height for the vivarium is likely to be around 20" - 24" (50 - 60cm). See page 1 for
further details on lamp positioning.
• Only use with an appropriately rated fixture or luminaire with ceramic lamp holder
• Ensure the luminaire or fixture containing the lamp is securely fixed and cannot come in to contact
with flammable materials. The chosen location for the lamp needs to be well ventilated, as a build
up of excessive heat or humidity will shorten lamp life and void the warranty.
• Keep the lamp away from water spray or mist.
• Avoid knocks and vibration to the lamp, particularly when the lamp is illuminated, as the lamp
elements are easily damaged and frequent vibration may shorten lamp life.
• For long operational life orient the lamp pointing straight downwards. Operating the lamp if it is
tilted beyond 20 degrees from the vertical will severely shorten its life and void the warranty.
• This lamp is not suitable for use with dimming controls or thermostats. It can be used with a
safety thermal cut out (which switches the lamp off until reset manually, if the vivarium exceeds
a designated temperature), but regular switching will shorten lamp life. Remember that the lamp
will take up to 15 minutes to re-light after switching off.
