 Terrible life expectancyJun 11, 2010
By D. Arnold
"dziban"
I bought a two pack of these bulbs from a local retailer on 14 March. Worked great initially, but I was pretty disgusted when I came home from work on 26 March to find the lamp burned out. A week and a half? I thought perhaps the bulb overheated or something, although you'd figure a *heat lamp* would be designed to tolerate high heat. Anyway, I tilted the bowl fixture from almost straight down to about 35 degrees off of vertical to allow more heat to escape, and aimed a pretty small fan at the top of the fixture to cool it. The second bulb blew out on 8 April, giving me an average bulb life of about 12 days--but considering the bulbs were on a 10 hour timer, they lasted for about 120 hours each. Totally unacceptable! Since then I've had a regular Philips 100W reflector spot bulb and it's been working great for 61 days. An email I sent to Zoo Med has gone unanswered for weeks. I won't be buying anything from Zoo Med again.

Don't last long.Jan 17, 2010
By Sasquatch
I purchased a double 75w pack of these bulbs. I use them for my uromastyx cage where the basking temp. has to be at 120 degrees and the lights on for 10 hrs a day. The first bulb I used lasted a little more than a month. The second one that I had used didn't even last a month. I feel that this bulb should last longer than this. I used the equivalent bulb from a different brand and it lasted months!

 Works fine for my Bearded DragonOct 04, 2010
By Bill Rocks
"Super Dad"
These 75 WATT Basking Bulbs from Zoo Med work fine for my Bearded Dragon.
Get the temperature up quickly. Been using one bulb for 4 months 10 hours a day
no problem. Recommend get Zoo Med's "mini dome" light fixture to go with the bulb helps
focus the heat and the light. My Dragon loves it!

Warm LightMay 07, 2011
By Bill Albanese
"Billy 5"
This bulb illuminates and keeps my tortoise warm. I've used this brand for 3 years now and get an average of 3-5 months usage out of them. I saw many a review stating that only minutes were received, but for me they work long time so maybe I'm lucky or my electrons may be milder that others. Either way, good price if the shipping is free, otherwise best to arise from the couch and buy them at the local institution.

 Work fine for our turtleSep 21, 2009
By Amazonlover76
I ordered these bulbs and received two 50w bulbs. It appears the description and photo have been changed and don't reflect what wattage you will receive. Either way, the 50w bulbs seem to be doing the job, as our turtle that lives in a 10 gallon aquarium has not exhibited any signs of stress or degraded health.
