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

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

Worked just fine for my dragon

For my Cuban Anole I use all Zoo Med products these 50 watts arent over powerful and will not dry out the small cage to bad. I use this with a hanging lamp. The average life span of this bulbs varies but so far Ive gotten a steady 9 months from one (not bad considering the amount of usage daily). Priced at about 5 dollars great buy and excellent to keep a spare.

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.

These bulbs blow pretty fast! Its upsetting but... Our snake needs heat and light so.... Eh

The genius that packed my bulb packed it with a spray bottle with cleaner and barely any packing material so it was shattered when it got to my house. 1 star because I dont even have the option to get it replaced, I can only return it. Im not returning a broken bulb.

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

Ordered two 4 months ago and they have both burned out. I have the light set on a timer that runs 10 hours a day. I think that these lamps should work for more than 600 hours... On 4/20/2013 I emailed the manufacturer to inquire if there had been a bad batch of bulbs because of the previously mentioned conditions. They replied that these bulbs are covered by a 90-day warranty and if I supplied them with a copy of my receipt from Amazon the bulbs would be replaced. I did and they shipped two replacement bulbs to me. I raised my rating from 2 to 4 stars based on this warranty coverage, but I may change that AGAIN if these replacements wear out as quickly as the first two!

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