"We have tried these bulbs several times and have had them blow out with in a week of pruchase every time. We have 4 Bearded dragons so light a temp. are critical to their health. Therefore it looks like we will be finding a different product. I would suggest you do too...."

"This is a really good heat source for your reptile! I only have one problem with this bulb. After you have it for a while you start to notice that it builds up a lot of algae. but other than that it heats up great and very durable!!"

Quality bulb, emits a good amount of heat,

"We use these bulbs for our lizards, Pink Bellied Swifts (desert-dwelling), and it emits a decent amount of heat, it easily raises the temp of our 10 gallon aquarium about 10 degrees. It keeps their basking rock warm enough for their liking. I wouldn't recommend using it as a primary heat source though, you will need an UTH or a ceramic for primary heat. This bulb is designed for spot heating on a basking rock/perch, and it performs this task very well."

Decent,

from Maryland
"I bought this product today and it has been working as it says it does. I usually keep my house around 72 degrees F. This basking light heats my 10 Gallon tank up to 85 degrees F. which is a pretty good rise in temp. Decent and somewhat cheap. If you need a light, this one would be fine."

Nice bulbs,
July 12, 2007
by ReptiMom
from St. Louis
"We use these bulbs for our iguana, and they last for around 9-12 months (at 9 hours a day). If you are having trouble with bulbs that constantly burn out, a few tips: !. Check the wattage restrictions on the lamp itself. If the wattage of the bulb exceeds the wattage max of the lamp, the bulbs will burn out VERY quickly. 2. Do not touch the bulb with your fingers. The oils on your skin decrease the life of the bulb. (There is some scientific reason for this, but don't ask me to explain.) Wear cotton or latex gloves when inserting a new bulb, and it will increase the life of the bulb by 2-3 months. Also know that most reptiles require UVB light to synthesize vitamin D. This basking/heat bulb does not provide UVB (oly UVA). You will need an additional UVB bulb. (I use a ZooMed 5.0.)"

Nice but....,

from Ft Wayne, IN
"this is a nice Bulb for the most part. However, they do not seem to last very long at all. We have two tanks, between the two of them it seems they blow a bulb about every 1 1/2 to 2 mos max. Need more reliablity for this price."
