Zoo Med Repti Basking Lamp 50 Watt for Reptiles

Mixed feelings on this line a bulbs in general. They burn out rather quickly - I have not had one last beyond 2 months. The 50 watt bulb melted the plastic trim around the screen out of no where on my Exo Terra Terrarium. Was using the bulb without issue for over a month and smelled something burning one day. Not sure why it happened. I had also used a 75 watt bulb in the same socket/location for a few months prior with no issue. Turned it off for a few days and just used my night time bulb in the interim and then my wife said lets try it again. Its been about 2 weeks and all seems to be ok. Screen does not seem to be getting hotter than usual. Maybe it was just angled funny on that day, who knows. Otherwise the 50 watts bulbs seem to do the trick heat wise on my Anole tank. They are cheap enough that I can replace them every few months as they burn out (which they do). Lose a star because they dont last and 2 for almost burning my house down.

Works good.

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.

Great inexpensive product. Beautiful, careful shipping protection. Now my three big guys (res) can enjoy their basking again.

Convenient way to order the supplies I need for my turtle. This light works great.

Just what I was looking for... found it fast and easy... arrived on time

Exactly what I wanted.

Burnt out quick

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

The first time i got a basking bulb of this kind it cooked my first turtle,(75 watts only 3 inches away)but for this 50 watt its a differnt story my turtles always bask now. Buy it and dont over heat your baby yellow baby rescue :(
