I bought this product for my Russian Tortoise because I heard that this bulb provides heat and UVB (While other bulbs provide only one) which is important for a healthy reptile. The price is a bit overwhelming at first, but once you consider that the price of buying the heat bulb and UVB bulb seperatley comes close to the price of this bulb, it's not too much of a price difference. Although this bulb flickers a bit, it still works extremely well. And it lasts a long time, too. I've had it for about 8 months and it's still going strong.

Overall: Great all-in-one bulb, provides heat, light, and essential UVB and UVA rays. Flickers a bit when it is first turned on, however once it's warmed up it works well. Very long lasting. Great Product.

Pros: works great, easy to install

I was excited to try this new technology out for my new beardie and it seemed ideal to just have 3 in one bulb so i bought it. I used a stand and a deep dome along with it, so that i wouldn't have to worry about it blowing out. I waited well over 15 minutes and even the hue of the bulb changed (which "supposedly" indicates that it is ready). It wouldn't go past 80 degrees and I know for a fact that it was the bulb because I tried three different thermometers. I have a 40 gallon tank so that bulb should have done better than that, especially if it's for heat/uv. I was so disappointed. I had to change my entire setup. Just stick to the long florescent bulbs for uv and a basking light for heat dude :( Honestly it shouldn't be a huge price difference. I rather pay for 2 lights that I know will work better, than a faulty bulb that I hear blows out in like 3 months while using a stand/clamp or not.

Cons: price, didn't work

I have had a bearded dragon, Sunny, for five years and have always used this bulb. It is everything you need in a light fixture in 1 bulb: UVA,UVB, heat, and of course light. It is worth the extra money and it keeps your beardie happy. The only thing is it can be a little finicky at times, it may randomly shut off shortly after you turn it on but usually waiting a few minutes and turning it back on or just flicking it will turn it back on. It only happens once in a while and is a great product.

Pros: works great, easy to install

Cons: price

Pros: works great, easy to install

I bought my fisrt bulb in Aptil of 2009 it went out in July of the same year. Petsmart was great and exchanged it. That one went out 2 months later and they exchanged that one. Now well after the three months and welll below the maximum hour listed for this bulb it burned out again. When they work they are great but then they burn out and you are stuck going to buy a new one.

You MUST have a UV light for Lizards

Lizards MUST have UVA and UVB! Their bones need both to stay strong. I wish PetSmart sold them in the stores. This bulb may seem expensive but it lasts a really long time!! It is cheaper than vet bills and happier than an ill or dead lizard.

Pros: provides both uvs for optimum health

Cons: none
