Zoo Med 2 Pack of T5 HO ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Lamps

Dont buy they are defective, bought the 2 pack, literally one doesnt fit and the other died in 20 min!, hopefully I can get my $$$$$ back!!!

According 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.

Mine arrived working and well packaged. Everyone online says to replace these every 6 months however the packageing states one year when used 10-12 hours per day.

Maybe I got a bad batch, but the 1st one almost immediately burnt out and the 2nd didnt last much longer either. :(

Ordered a 2 pack of bulbs for two bearded dragons. Scheduled to change bulb at end of March 2022. Today, went to change bulb, one was in excellent condition, can tell the other had been previously opened and did not work when installed. Too late to return because order is over 30 days☹️

Repurchased the bulbs but they didnt fit our light fixture (also ZooMed). The new bulb was larger than the old bulb.

Great product...arrived in good condition

Only 1 bulb out of the 2 works, I would return if I didn’t actually need the bulb at the moment, most expensive bulb I’ve purchased

One dead out of the box

Great for my two bearded dragons
