Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 Mini Compact Fluorescent Lamp, 13 Watts

Typically UVB is said to last for around four-six months, if you have a UVB reader some have been known to output for up to a year (or longer) nicely. Since I dont have a reader I always change out at six months and have it inside a ZooMed deep dome. For UVB output ZooMed is considered one of the higher end brands and so far its held up that title. My beardie uses it and Ive never had a problem (hes healthy, happy & and free of MBD) with it and for the price it works great considering how much you can spend on a UVB bulb. It does put out a little heat but no more than your average fluorescent light. Ive never had a problem with the light shorting or any other technical problems but you never know what can happen with shipping or human error. It comes in the pictured packaging usually shipped inside those bubblewrap envelopes.

Good price on a durable little bulb.

Does not cover all of tank

Puts out a decent amount of light but it needs a deep dome socket because it is a longer bulb

Used for my bearded dragons cage. Works well

I had this product less than a month and it went out already, you are supposed to change these bulbs every 6 months and now Im having to already.

worked

I have no complaints, it keeps my aquatic plants alive.

A great deal on the 10.0.

Only worked for 5 minutes!!! What a waste of money !!!
