Zoo Med Repti Basking Lamp 50 Watt for Reptiles

Perfect for my granddaughters bearded dragon. He loves basking under it.

Didn’t even last a week. Came home to glass all over my tank. Both bulbs shattered within a week

Great light. My turtle loves it.

Exactly what I wanted.

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 a pair of these basking lamps for our aquatic turtles terrarium. The first one burned out within 10 days. So, I felt lucky that Id purchased a second one - but it lasted less than 20 days. So, a total 30 days for 2 lamps. Maybe Zoo Med thinks thats a bargain, but Im looking for a more reliable, long lasting product.

Received bulb March 17, 2016 and put in basking lamp that day. June 27, 2016 the bulb has already burnt out!! (Our basking lamp is on appx. 10 hours a day.)

Solid heat bulb

Perfect bulb and wattage for our turtle basking area.

Great! My painted turtle loves this lamp and spends almost all afternoon napping under it.
