WUHOSTAM 2 Pack 80W Ceramic Heat Lamp with 1-pcs Digital-Thermometer, Infrared Reptile Heat Emitter Heater Lamp Bulb for Pet Brooder Coop Chicken Lizard Turtle Snake Aquarium ETL Listed

The units worked as advertised. I had never used ceramic heaters before and wasnt sure if they would run hotter than incandescent heat lamps since part of the energy doesnt produce visible visible light like the incandescent bulbs. There doesnt seem to be any significant difference. You can just treat the wattages as equivalent. The surface area does matter. Consider the watts per square inch when substituting for incandescent bulbs.

It was a pack of two and only one of them worked

I bought these two items for my aquatic turtle aquarium. I have the temperature control placed where it is easily readable when approaching the tank without bothering Tommy Boy if he happens to be sun bathing at the time. I have the ceramic lamp positioned right next to the day lamps and they are on a timer so I don’t have to reach over the tank to turn them on and off. This is my first aquatic turtle and I’m learning what makes him happy and keeps him healthy. I thought these items were reasonable priced. Update: Heat lamp still works great-no problem there. However, the digital thermometer that came with it stopped functioning correctly after only 5 months. It shows the water temp as continuously rising even though the water temp is steady at 75 degrees, as verified by two other thermometers. Not a deal breaker, just be aware that it is a good idea to have more than one thermometer to monitor the tank water.

Perfect for reptiles that require constant heat. I keep 1 on at all times. Its been 6 months and still running strong and hot.

We used these to replace the red night lamps for our bearded dragon. While they use the same amount of electricity, they last longer both because they are more robust and they are not turned on and off daily. Instead, they are on 24/7. Our lizards behavior changed: before, he would stay awake for an hour or more after the night lights came on; now, he goes right to sleep.Also, since we were not switching 200 watts twice a day we could use a simpler (and cheaper) timer for the UVB bulb. The only difficulty we have had with these is confirming that they are on. (Touching the shield was a problem because it was so easy to burn your hand.) When we traveled with our lizard we once found that they were off -- not because the switches were off, but because the plug had been bumped. So we found a solution: The HOT Color Changing Vinyl, Red to Yellow (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HVZL8GV) changes color at 105 degrees Fahrenheit. We stuck a small piece on each of the light shields and its easy to notice that they are still yellow. As 3 12x12 sheets is a lot to buy to get less than a square inch, perhaps the seller will read this, raise the price by a dime, and include a small piece with each heater.

The price was good, and I like the bonus battery operated digital thermometer, but one of the lamps was defective. Tried to install it in my dome and it wouldn’t go in. Upon closer look, it was obvious the end was defective, it was crooked. I’m glad it was a two pack, at least I do have one bulb that I can use keep my Leo warm. Hopefully my replacement that is supposedly on the way will not have this issue. I really dislike having to return items. Quality control is a big deal!!! It completely un-does the convenience of being able to shop from home. And I’m not sure how safe electric items are from China anyway, since they do not carry the same ratings as the US.??

Our turtle loves this heat lamp. I has been on for a month now and works great.

It worked well for a little while. Ive only had it for just over a month and it started to burn a hole through the side of the metal piece and stopped working. The other one worked for about two weeks and burned out. Other than that ot worked well and did its job when it was working.

It was as expected
