Zilla Mini Halogen Lamp Reptile Bulb, 25-watt, Night Red (3 Pack)

Had I known how harmful these are to reptile and amphibian eyes, I never would have purchased them. Since their pupils dont detect the red light it burns their retinas over time. Im switching over to using CHEs on dimmers and thermostats in conjunction with UTHs on thermostats.

I wanted too provide a night light for my little gecko but I didn’t need the added heat because all of his heat is regulated by a UTH. I decided too try this product out. I have it on a dimmer turned all the way down and it’s been great! He gets some light with very minimal heat! Which is exactly what I was looking for!(:

First, let me say that as far as heat bulbs go these do a great job of keeping consistent temps. I own a small reptile business and converted several of my critters over to the mini halogens. What I dont care for is that I purchased a 3 pack of these bulbs April 25th for 3 separate enclosures; its just a little over a month later and all 3 bulbs are already burnt out. I had each bulb set up up on a timer to run 12 hour shifts, so I figure at $6 a bulb they should be able to run more than 432 hours before expiring. Its almost too expensive to use them for more than a few enclosures at $6 a pop and have them burn out so fast, hence the 3 stars.

Good value for money 3 bulbs always got back ups. Gives off alot of heat for a habitat. Not good for a large habitat or high one

Works great

Don’t let the size fool ya these bulbs can really keep a tank warm

Perfect

Great bulbs

Does what it is supposed to do.

It’s a replacement bulb...
