Repticare Infrared Ceramic Heat Emitter (150 watt)

I feel like they only last few months. Purchased in October and now completed dead bulb. Sad I cant return.

I love this. I recently switched from a red light to this bulb. My snakes seem more alert and rested. The seller was great and checked in with me to make sure I was satisfied

Maybe because it is in the wire cage clip suggested and heat disperses, but there is more heat coming from a light bulb than this thing. Hard to tell if it is even on.

I was buying the emitter to replace the one I already had that had gone bad. The original emitter I bought was great and served its purpose. However, the one I recieved from here was loose from the metal and caused sparks if it was barely bumped!! Dangerous for my little hedge hog! May have been a defect with the one but I still need a replacement.

This item was purchased to replace a 150W infrared bulb in a chicken coop. It seems to put out the same amount of heat (150W), and has the added bonus of not producing any visible light. So why did I give it only 4 stars? I just cant bring myself to writing that I love a ceramic heater.

Last five months then went out.

Works pretty well to keep our hedgehog cages the correct temp.

I wanted to use this on a red tail boa that I had in a 40 gallon breeder tank. I had it on for several minutes (probably about 30) and it would not heat the basking area of the tank sufficiently which is about 16 inches away from the lamp. I replaced it with what I had before and am currently using, a red heat lamp bulb. I gave this 2 stars instead of only one because it DID get hot, and I mean scorching hot, but it didnt radiate heat much past about 6 inches.

Our first experience with one of these bulbs was okay. It lasted for about five months. I ordered a second bulb well in advance. But when the first bulb died, i opened up the second package, and the entire bulb was cracked in half. So: these bulbs are fine, if they arrive in working order. Wish the shipping dept would realize that bulbs are fragile.

The light is warming but not hot enough. Keeps my 55 gallon tank at the end placed at only 100 degrees. I need a hotter one I guess. But it will do for now. Some heat is better than no heat. I run it 24/7 and is nice that there is no visible light
