REPTI ZOO 100W Reptile Heat Lamp UVA UVB Reptile Light, Full Spectrum Self-Ballasted Vapor Basking Sunlight Bulb for Reptile and Amphibian Use E26

I’ve been using these lights for the past 2 years for my baby blue tongue skinks and baby frilled dragons all of which have been growing wonderfully with them. The amount of light and heat produced work great for my 36Lx18Wx24H enclosures. The bulb itself is extremely large compared to similar ones of other brands so I do recommend checking fixture sizes before buying or just getting a 10” dome fixture. All of the bulbs I’ve ordered have arrived and worked in flawless condition and I haven’t needed to replace them outside of the usual 9 month life span because of lose of UVB. So I definitely recommend especially for their price point!!

I was disappointed that the first bulb I received was a dud - it looked intact but didn't work in any of the appropriate fixtures I tried. But I returned it for a replacement bulb which Amazon shipped the next day and the replacement works great! It registers in the low-medium range on my UVB tester card from the appropriate hanging distance, which suits the requirements for my box turtle. It heats the ambient temp of the enclosure to a comfortable 75 degrees, and registers 92 degrees directly under the bulb (temp outside the enclosure is 67 degrees). The bulb emits a pretty natural daylight glow, and is not so bright that it hurts my eyes, so it should be safe for my turtle as well. You may be able to adjust the distance of this bulb or use in conjunction with a heat emitter or basking bulb to meet your specific reptile's needs. For right now, this bulb works as a stand-alone solution to meet my turtle's UVB and thermal requirements. Keep in mind that vapor bulbs have a max lifespan of 6 months for UVB, so test the output regularly and replace as needed.

Updated: I found out the bulb didn’t actually go out but it had to cool before coming back on. As of today it is still working. It would have been helpful to have that info the specifics so people will know this tidbit. Received 2/12/24 and it went out 3/19/24. So disappointed.

Pretty solid product, had a small scare with it switching off randomly but that was more on my end, only thing to be aware is that it is BIG, and produces alot of heat so careful when handling it!

I've read other reviews on this that mention the bulb burns out, but mine is lasted a year now and is going great! I use it for about 8 hours a day to heat my reptile tank. The key is to not turn it on and off frequently that is what can kill the life of the bulb.

Mine crapped out on me in less than a week.

They are great and have a perfect light and heat. I love how it was packed and packaging is pretty attractive .

I chose the wrong type and size for my Turtle tank. It's to big for the Clamp light. It probably is too strong for my set up. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb. I need to return it.
