Using this Exo Terra Daylight Basking Spot Lamp is easy. Just install it in your terrarium where you want to create a basking area. Make sure it's securely fixed. When choosing a size, consider the size of your terrarium and the heat requirements of your reptiles. Smaller terrariums may need lower - wattage bulbs. For maintenance, turn off the lamp and let it cool down completely before cleaning. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. Don't touch the bulb with wet hands or use harsh chemicals. Also, keep an eye on the bulb's performance. If it starts to flicker or dim, it might be time to replace it. And remember, always follow the general safety rules when dealing with electrical devices.
