Review on ๐ŸฆŽ Zacro 60W/100W Reptile Heat Lamp with Digital Thermometer, Infrared Ceramic Heat Emitter, Reptile Bulb 110V (Black) by Leslie Aragon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It was great for a chicken brooder but then.

Update 3/31/2020: New bulbs came quickly after I requested a replacement. For some reason the lamps didn't heat up the thought box like the previous one that shattered. So I'm guessing my first few weren't very good, overheated and broke, but these worked as they were supposed to. This would probably be fine for an indoor terrarium, but I would NOT recommend using a garage chick grow light. Both lamps no longer work. I went to check on my chicks this morning and found their incubator temperature was 54 degrees. Went to Atwood and got a 250w bulb to keep me going - not ideal for my small setup but will work until a Zakro replacement arrives. Came back via Revain and didn't deal with Zakro on his return. I like the lamp but am disappointed to find it so broken. But I'm glad it didn't crash. If the next set of lamps breaks, I will update the review again and add a photo. I hope it isn't. Original review: This lamp is great for raising chickens. It hangs about 22 inches above our 3ft x 3ft x 2ft incubator and keeps the area under the lamp between 95 and 98 degrees depending on the ambient temperature in our garage. The garage is not insulated but is still slightly warmer than outside and we left the lamp at its current height. The chickens were and still are fine. and a thermometer that is nice to have and accurate.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • I won't say anything
