CTKcom 25W Halogen Basking Bulb(4 Pack)- 110V Lizard Lamp Heating Lamp Spot Lamp for Turtle Aquarium Aquatic Reptile Lizard Habitat Heat Light,4 Pcs

I bought this to possibly replace my incandescent heat bulbs. My current set up as the lamps directly on top of the tanks. So this lightbulb is not a good option because it heats the air up to 108 degrees Fahrenheit at about 6 inches. I was measuring around 98 at a foot. So for non-arboreal species like turtles and tortoises, it would be great. Because it gets too hot I have no info on longevity.

Works great

My turtle loves these lights

I use this light with the light bulb for heat for my aquatic turtles! As you can see they use it! The only thing that I was not happy about was the packaging! The bulbs are ok but came in a sack with no protection cover for them! I also want to let you know that they put the bulbs in with my Fish filters and I had charcoal all over the boxes of bulbs! Thank you

2 bulbs blew in the first few days i had them

Installed the first bulb in the beginning of Jan. 2020 and it is now near the end of Feb, and the first one have not stopped working. I run these at 10hr per day, at about 4 inches from the rock for the turtles. So it probably does get a little splashes from the filter creating a waterfall. Only thing I did, was not touch it with my fingers during the install, but instead used a paper towel. Heat wise, 25W is good enough for my setup. Sometimes the turtles relax a bit off from the beam so maybe it is a bit too warm at times. They say a heating lamp like this would improve the turtles health and responsiveness, and it did a bit but I seen mines were very happy when the water was warm, in the mid 80s. So, dont forget a water heater for your turtles. Update May 21st 2020 The first lamp is still running bright and hot. I honestly do not know how this one would last since January at 10hr per day. I cant say the others in the pack would last this long until I have the chance to replace the first.

Good value of money but dies off fast.

Good

Burned out within 2 weeks.

Considering it took 2 shipments to receive 4 good lights between the two. 2 were bad on first and second order. Lack of packing for lights....
