Using the Exo Terra Porcelain Wire Clamp Lamp is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot on your reptile enclosure where the lamp can shine the right amount of light and heat. Clamp the lamp securely using the spring - loaded swivel clamp. Then, plug in the extra - long power cord and use the switch to turn it on. When choosing a bulb, make sure it's compatible with the lamp, like Heat Wave Lamps, self - ballasted mercury vapor bulbs, or regular incandescent bulbs. For the small size, don't use bulbs over 150 Watts. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the wire guard for any damage or blockage. If the porcelain socket gets dirty, gently clean it with a dry cloth. Always turn off and unplug the lamp before any cleaning or bulb replacement. Keep the lamp away from water and flammable materials to ensure safety.
