Position & mounting
The European manual specifies ceiling mounting only, preferably towards one end. Use every mounting hole and keep electrical connections outside the enclosure, dry and protected.

Is 40W right
for your setup?
Enclosure volume is a starting point. Materials, ventilation, room temperature and target temperatures affect the heating requirement too.

Plan before fitting
A complete setup.
Considered from the start.
Thermostat control
Use a compatible dimming or pulse-proportional thermostat rated for your panel. Secure the probe directly below the panel and check the manufacturer’s placement guidance for your version.
Temperature checks
Run the complete setup for at least 24 hours and confirm stable, species-appropriate temperatures before introducing an animal. Prevent contact with dangerously hot surfaces.

Before you buy
Your 40W questions.
Answered.
What are the ReptiRad 40 dimensions?
The panel measures 209 × 185 × 18.5mm, or 20.9 × 18.5 × 1.85cm. These are the panel dimensions, not the full space needed for mounting and installation clearances.
Which enclosure size is the 40W panel suitable for?
There is no single enclosure size that guarantees suitability. Use the metric size calculator for an initial volume-based estimate, then consider enclosure construction, ventilation, ambient temperature and your target temperatures.
What if my room runs cooler than 22°C?
The size calculator includes a cooler-room checkbox. If the base estimate is 40W, it shows the 80W model for consideration. This is a one-model increase, not a heat-loss calculation; contact us for advice if conditions differ substantially from the guide.
Does 40W mean it uses 40 watts all the time?
40W is the rated power. Actual energy use over time depends on how the thermostat operates and how much heating the enclosure requires. We do not give a fixed running-cost estimate without those conditions.
Where can I buy the ReptiRad 40?
Choose your country on the 40W Shop page to find a purchasing destination. Orders and payments are handled by the retailer. Availability, pricing and delivery are confirmed by your chosen retailer.
How do I confirm warranty and regional details?
The supplied European manual states a 24-month warranty. Read the translated warranty information and contact us to confirm the terms and electrical specification for your country.

Choosing your panel
What size reptile heat panel do I need?
Start with your enclosure, then choose the panel. Volume gives you a first estimate; the complete setup determines whether that estimate is suitable.

A thermostat is an essential part of the setup. Choose the correct control mode, check the electrical rating and secure the probe before switching on.
