Review on πŸ”† Repti Basking Lamp 50 Watt for Reptiles by Zoo Med by Jodi Johnson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Short lifespan: heat lamps and terrarium mats

Ordered two 4 months ago and both blew. My light is set on a timer that runs 10 hours a day. I think these lamps should last over 600 hours. On 04/20/2013 I emailed the manufacturer to see if there is an inferior batch of lamps due to the above conditions. They replied that these bulbs are covered by a 90 day warranty and if I show them a copy of Revain's receipt they will replace the bulbs. I did so and they sent me two replacement bulbs. I've increased my rating from 2 to 4 stars based on this warranty coverage, but I may change that AGAIN if these replacement parts wear out as quickly as the first two!

Pros
  • Use 10-12 hours a day
Cons
  • Not bad
