Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp Replacement Bulb 50 Watts - Pack of 3

My son has a pet corn snake which is what we are using these bulbs for. Our current setup has a under tank heat mat that is ran off of a temperature controller 24/7. The lamp is on a 12 on/12 off schedule from 9:00 to 9:00. The lamp provides light in addition to an LED light as well as providing heat from above for Diesel (his snake). These bulbs do what they are supposed to do. My issue with them is not really their fault, just the nature of this style of bulb… they burn out too quickly. I like to stay away from recurring costs as much as possible. This is why all the light bulbs in our house are LEDs. They require changing much less frequently resulting in less money and time wasted. But, of course, LEDs produce little to no heat. I’m still searching for an alternative that will provide the heat and light we need in the tank but not require ordering and changing bulbs frequently. For now, these are doing just fine!
