Advanced Radiant Heat Panel for Reptiles
The Long Awaited Wilbanks High-Quality Reptile Radiant Heat Panels are finally here!
The Wilbanks Advanced Radiant Heat Panel is the most premium reptile heating system in the world. Manufactured in Italy to exacting standards.
What makes the Wilbanks Advanced Radiant Heat Panel different?
First Our heat panels are pending UL certification. A product that is UL Listed is one that has been tested and found to have met strict standards for safety and sustainability. These standards include fire and flame resistance, functionality, and potential electrical hazards.
Our revolutionary reptile radiant heat panel system consists of a Fiber Optic Heat Element encased in double silicone insulation with aluminum backing to deflect the heat downward and produce heat quickly, evenly and most of all safely. All of this is encased in a 1.5mm galvanized steel back plate and a 1mm steel coated front plate to direct heat downwards leaving a small 2mm gap for heat to be distributed instead of transferred upwards. What we have achieved here is an incredible difference between the heat on the front of the panel and the heat on the back of the panel. The slim line case is less than 3/4 inches thick!

FAQs
Radiant heat is a system that supplies heat directly to your enclosure through an ultra slim panel installed on the underside of your enclosure. Radiant heat panels depend on heat transfer - the delivery of heat directly from the hot surface to the animals and objects in the enclosure via safe inferred radiation.
Reptile radiant heat panels are a safe option to other available heat sources for your animals. Radiant Heat Panels are less expensive to run then other heat sources available today such as ceramic heat emitter and deep heat projector bulbs. These panels are the most efficient and reliable option. They create accurate heat gradient and optimal ambient temperature.
