Zoo Med Repti Basking Lamp 50 Watt for Reptiles

Updated: 7 weeks the first one lasted, and the second one was 5 weeks, yes, just over a month. Original: This is decent, probably like every other heat lamp, don’t last nearly as long as we would like, but they’re decent

Works good.

I normally buy the 150 watt exo terra intense basking bulb version, but since I upgraded my other dragons tank, my main dragon is in a zen and I needed to up his temp just a little bit so I bought a 50 watt instead, since that was all I needed. These bulbs last a good 6months, but I normally get a little over a year out of my bulbs before they go out on me. I have had the occasional bulb thats gone out within a week, but 95% of the time, I get 10+ months out of these bulbs and they put out so much more heat than other reptile basking bulbs.

I purchased this item based on the reviews. I used this for an aquatic turtle tank 8-10 hours per day. It burned out after a few weeks of use, although it did work well for the short time it lasted.

This was a plastic toy. Did not work . Would not recommend

The lightbulb works great inside a clamp light for my 10 gallon tank with my Whites tree frog in it. This light does get very hot! My husband set the lamp on the couch for just a few seconds and the fabric began to burn, ooops! Good price, have been using for about 2 1/2 months with no issues.

This size/wattage is perfect for our little green Anole. Gets just warm enough for him without it making the lamp too hot.

My special-needs turtle loves this basking lamp. I like that it’s only 50 W. I have a small tank but it really does the job with the intense Rays He likes it.

I thought this item is a good replacement but I was wrong. Bulb burnt out in a few weeks. I bought this item based on good reviews but it wasnt as good as I expected.

The light did not work right out of the box. Returning is too expensive to ship given the price of the light, therefore I will just go down to the pet store and get another. I learned my lesson about getting a deal on a low price item on this site. It just does not work.
