The wattage for a turtle light can vary depending on the specific needs of the turtle species and the size of the enclosure. While traditional basking lights typically range from 50 to 100 watts, the 12V LED Turtle Friendly Amber MR16 Bulb offers an energy-efficient alternative at just 6 watts. This bulb is specifically designed to minimize light pollution and provide a safe environment for turtles. It's crucial to ensure that the basking area still reaches the appropriate temperature of 85-95°F (29-35°C) for the species, despite the lower wattage.
