Review on ๐ŸฆŽ Lucky Herp Desert UVB 150 Compact Fluorescent Reptile Light, 10.0 UVB, 23W by Amber Chavez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not worth saving.

Bought this UVB 5.0 lamp to replace an old UVB 5.0 lamp that was used for my red-eared turtle tank. Decided to try this unknown inexpensive brand to save money after using a well known and more expensive brand for some time. After I replaced it and turned it on, it caught fire after a while. I found it odd as I've never had this problem with previous UVB bulbs. Anyway, I waited a few minutes and then there was an electrical noise. Then it started flickering like a strobe light, startling my red-eared slider. I immediately turned it off, took out the lightbulb and examined it. I noticed that the end of the bulb turned dark gray instead of white and looked blown. I'm just glad it didn't crash! Return it and replace it with an old, well-known brand that I trust!
