Zoo Med Repti Basking Lamp 50 Watt for Reptiles

Bought this light and it burned out the day I received it . Id give it zero stars ,but I cant submit a review without at least one.

Didn’t last as long as they normally would.

They dont last long at all. After a month they burn out. Not buying again.

This size/wattage is perfect for our little green Anole. Gets just warm enough for him without it making the lamp too hot.

Works great

The lightbulb works great inside a clamp light for my 10 gallon tank with my Whites tree frog in it. This light does get very hot! My husband set the lamp on the couch for just a few seconds and the fabric began to burn, ooops! Good price, have been using for about 2 1/2 months with no issues.

Mixed feelings on this line a bulbs in general. They burn out rather quickly - I have not had one last beyond 2 months. The 50 watt bulb melted the plastic trim around the screen out of no where on my Exo Terra Terrarium. Was using the bulb without issue for over a month and smelled something burning one day. Not sure why it happened. I had also used a 75 watt bulb in the same socket/location for a few months prior with no issue. Turned it off for a few days and just used my night time bulb in the interim and then my wife said lets try it again. Its been about 2 weeks and all seems to be ok. Screen does not seem to be getting hotter than usual. Maybe it was just angled funny on that day, who knows. Otherwise the 50 watts bulbs seem to do the trick heat wise on my Anole tank. They are cheap enough that I can replace them every few months as they burn out (which they do). Lose a star because they dont last and 2 for almost burning my house down.

Hd the bulb running about 6-8 hours a day for a month and a half now and havent had a problem. My red eared slider loves it!

Great price works great for my gecko

Solid heat bulb
