02-11-2024According to the internet, this is one of the best lights for beardies, and it’s readily available in the US. For those reasons, this is the bulb I’ve been using since January, when I got a rescue 3 yr old bearded dragon. I recently took him to the vet because of some health concerns I had for him, and while there, the vet gave me a UV testing card, just to ensure he had a high UV output as a beardie should. Well... to my surprise.. the UV output is MINIMAL at best. Mind you, my enclosure is 2’ tall, but there are hammocks and things to climb on approx. 6-8” away from the bulb. I held the test card where my beardie can reach, and it barely indicated any UV presence at all. It did indicate strong sufficient UV when you held the card 1” away from the bulb, but no lizard is gonna be 1” away from this bulb in their enclosure. I also tested his old bulb (7 mo old) that his previous owner had, and the card showed that there was hardly a difference between the two. This is VERY concerning considering the health risks this could cause a bearded dragon! Very scary! After lots of research, I have ordered ARCADIA T5 HO 14% 22” bulb. Yes it’s double the price, but it’s a lot cheaper than a slew of vet visits. Not to mention the pain and suffering low UV can cause a bearded dragon. I’m hoping this new product will be better, and I will be leaving a review for that product when I get it. I would NOT recommend this product for a bearded dragon. I would highly encourage you to look at stronger options, even though they will cost more. If you have a pet that doesn’t need high outputs of UV, then this wouldn’t be a bad option. Also, one came broken, which sucks. Overall, I trust my vet, and will not be buying this product again.

> 3 dayThese lights almost killed my bearded dragons! They are not giving off even the minimal uvb rays at under 5 inches!!!!! The brand is known for reptile supplies and i have used this brand in the past without any issues. After contacting the seller, and was told no refund if they were used, ( how could i have known they weren’t working properly if i have not Used them, is beyond me) i am convinced they plan on reselling them , even though i warned them of the defects. I used a uvb card to test the lights. I have since spent double the money for arcadia lights but at least they are putting out the proper uvb. DON’T BUY THIS BRAND OR FROM THIS SELLER!!!! You might end up with my deadly bulbs!!!! Reporting to amazon as well. Keep your bearded dragons safe people, cuz there are people like these sellers that just want our money and couldn’t care less about our dragons lives!
