Review on Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Mini Compact Fluorescent: Effective 13W Lighting Solution for Reptiles by Ananta Crowley

I chose to use an incandescent bulb along with a new housing because it was cheaper than replacing a bad bulb that I've been using for the past few years. Should be stuck in tube style. This bulb arrived on time, glowed, and that's all it does. I should have guessed that it wouldn't work from the start because the light it gave off was very dim, like it was waiting to warm up but never gets brighter. My old tube bulb that failed is brighter than this one and it failed. In short, the one I have was bad from the start. Unless the seller can send me another one to test and it actually works, I can't seriously recommend this lamp to anyone.
