PRODUCT DETAILS

Basking-surface checks

A confirmed model and retailer listing do not establish whether the product will suit your enclosure.

Verified specifications

  • Point-and-click surface measurement
  • LED targeting light
  • Handheld format

Limitations and compatibility checks

  • Use alongside fixed digital air-temperature probes, not instead of them.
  • The EU instructions advise a sensor-to-target distance of 6–7.5 cm; read an unobstructed surface, never through glass or screen mesh.
  • Reflective surfaces and surface contamination can distort readings; follow the supplied instructions.
