Zoo Med Turtle Tuff Splashproof Halogen Lamp

Lasts for a long time (at least 1 year) - heats the tank up well and my turtles love the light.

This lasted me 11 months. Thats right, ELEVEN MONTHS. I was pouring through lights every month or so, and getting extremely frustrated. I read one review somewhere, probably not even for this bulb, that one guy left his light on 24/7 and it lasted forever. Guess what? IT WORKS. For real. Im not receiving any benefit in saying this. I was worried that my turtle would get sick from not having a dry dock that wasnt directly under a heat lamp, but shes thriving as always. JUST LEAVE THE LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. I had it on a timer before, turned it off manually, whatever. On/off is what makes them burn out! UPDATE: This time my lamp lasted from September of last year to October of this year--14 months, people. Be careful installing it, dont over-tighten, and leave it the fetch alone (no turning on and off). Youll be glad you did.

Quality seems to be decreasing. my first purchased lasted a few years. Then I started buying them annually. Now they cant even last 5 months

I plugged this for a period of 5 minutes where I noticed it to be blinking and then just like that it burned out. I didnt pay for a single faulty light bulb only for it to die shortly after I set it up.

Great

Shouldve expected just the bulb... My expectations for this were way too high so when it came in it was a bit disappointing. Hopefully I can find a lamp that fits the bulb. Maybe my money wasnt wasted after all?

came broke dont know what how to get refund

I bought this on July 1st and the bulb just went out. I still have one that has lasted for 2 years that we purchased at a store. So, I was shocked when this one went out so soon.

Good

I blew through a couple lights from different brands pretty quickly. My aquatic turtle likes to slide off his basking platform and the resulting splash has taken out a couple splash-proof lights. Not this one! Very pleased with the performance.
