LUCKY HERP UVA UVB Reptile Light 10.0, Desert UVB 150 Compact Fluorescent Lamp, UVB Light for Reptiles 23W, UVA UVB Reptile Light Bulb, UVB Bulb for Reptiles Bearded Dragons Lizards Tortoises Snakes

I normally buy these particular UVB lights from Serpentarium, which are very expensive, yet there is not a guarantee that they will last three months, though it did. There really is not much of a difference between a Serpentarium Lugarti bulb and this one upon comparison that I can observe. I think that the UVB bulb would last longer if it was in a single light fixture as opposed to a dual light fixture that can burn out the UVB faster with heat generated nearby in a ceramic or heat light.

My reptile grew 15 inches from this

Update (couple/few monts later) - About a month after writing this original review, the light stopped coming on with my timer. I have other light sources as mentioned so I didn't prioritize replacing the bulb. Lo and behold a couple weeks later it just magically started working again and has been now for well over a month. Go figure. Maybe bulb is sentient and demands vacation? Lol Added this to my new 4x2x2 bioactive setup for my ball python. Many people say BPs don't need UVB, and the ones that do often spend a lot on t5 style tubes. Since I already have a basking lamp as well as LED grow lights for the plants, I went with this CFL style of UVB light to both save money and have a smaller footprint to work with. It's been going strong for a couple months now. Hopefully it lasts

Doesn't fit in my lamp holder and it flickers occasionally, but the light is bright and my bearded dragon seems to enjoy the bigger light.

Does the job,heat my lizard aquarium.

I originally purchased 2 of these bulbs, one to use and one on hand for when first one goes out. I put the first bulb in and it only lasted a few hours. So I put the second bulb in and then requested a replacement bulb for the first one, thinking it was a fluke. The second one was in for a few hours as well and then wouldn't work again. I checked my lighting fixture and the bulbs did not exceed the limits in any way. So I then requested another replacement bulb for this bulb. When the first replacement bulb was delivered, I put it in the fixture and it almost made it through the whole day. I then received the second replacement bulb and put that one in and it lasted me only daylight hours of 3 days. So I went to request a refund of the replacement bulb. I now need to take all 4 bulbs back to the ups store to have them shipped back to Amazon. This was such a waste of my time and money. I have bought these bulbs before and had them last months. I don't know what is going on but I now had to go to the pet store and buy one for triple the price, hoping it will last longer.

Perfect for my whites tree frog. Doesn’t get hot so I don’t have to worry about too much heat exposure with my ceramic bulb! Light it bright recommend getting a dual dome if you don’t have one already!

I saw some complaints that it doesn’t last, well I haven’t had it long enough, I think. I have had it for a couple weeks, I use it just during the day. I have a green anole lizard that snuck into my home somehow. She was living on one plant and kind of staying there. I was feeding her 2 small crickets per day. Very tiny lizard, the smallest one I saw since these things started appearing in my yard and around the house. But she left the house at one point, then a few days later came in literally through my front door like a person, so I allowed it, and she found her way back upstairs to the same plant. But when she returned she wouldn’t eat any crickets, and was acting super afraid of me, when before she had started eating the cricket right out of the tongs I held. I was worried bc she seemed to be getting even tinier. I read these lights could help with appetite. Since I have no cage I bought a simple lamp screw thing with an on/off switch and screwed this light into an outlet that just happens to be by the plant she was living on. After about a week she just ate two huge crickets, and I’ve been seeing her out more getting sun and hanging around the light.
