Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 HO T5 UVB Lamp, 34" L, 39 Watts

These t5 ho bulbs are awesome. My beardie is more active, there is alot more light throughout the whole cage, which is awesome for looks and for the health of the reptile. I had a 160 watt powersun before this and it burned out in about 5 months which was a blessing in disguise since my dragon likes this a whole lot better and its a whole lot better on my buget.Couple of things to consider. The uvb output varies greatly and depends on a wide variety of factors. (there are many websites that have the uv meter number at different distances, with screens, and reflectors you can look at) If you mount this above a mesh screen you will need a reflector at the least and the distance to animal needs to be closer. I currently have mine mounted inside my melamine enclosure hung by hooks with wire in a standard fixture i got at home depot for 25 bucks. The bulb is 6 to 11 inches away from my beardie at any given moment (about 16 inches bulb to the floor of the enclosure. Since my fixture does not have a reflector these distances should be just fine because uvb is lost if not in a reflector. Also make sure you have a hide so if your pet wants to escape the uvb it can.

Great light. lasted over 6 months

As described; for bearded dragon.

Reptisun is one of 2 reputable products in uvb lighting. The bulb would be fabulous. I know from experience.The shipping was a massive fail.Box had no fragile labeling AT ALLone flimsy layer of thin bubble wrap in a box 10 times wider than its retail boxThe retail box was smashed and the inside sounded like a rain stick as it was pulled out of the shipping boxWould not recommend purchasing this way

I started with a coil bulb for UVA/B and I’m so glad I switched to the rod. This one came jihkliy recommended and I see why. It provides so much more coverage and she seems super happy with this light source. It’s lasted pretty well so far as well, but we’ll see.

Unfortunately wrong size for my light fixture

I have bought this UVB lamp for my bearded dragon, and the product has consistently delivered. My little guy has stayed healthy and I have no worries about the amount of UVB he receives each day. It includes the life expectancy of the bulb, and as long as you are prepared for replacing it every 6-8 months, you can expect consistent amounts of UVB. Buying this product off of Amazon is also cheaper than going to the store, and I will definitely be repeating the purchase in the future.

The light fit perfect for my fixture. I tried to get one at the reptile store and they didn’t have one for the size I needed. As usual, Amazon comes through.
