A special internal reflector boosts the intensity in the center of the beam by up to 75% compared to a standard basking spot, so your reptile gets a strong, focused warm zone to bask in while the rest of the terrarium stays cooler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the beam is more concentrated, you can mount the lamp farther from the basking site and still deliver a real hot spot, which helps in taller terrariums.
