🌿 Enhance Your Reptile's Habitat with Zilla Premium Reflector Domes 8.5 Inches Review

Got this for hedgehog habitat as they need to be kept at 73-80F. Use it with one of those incandescent bulbs that don't emit any light. CH seems to be called. So far, so good. An automatic sensor turns it on and off when the temperature drops below the temperature we set. My only concern is the wire and how it bends/makes contact with the top of the lamp. Don't let it melt. You can try installing some sort of mini shepherd or something to remove the cord from the lamp. I am currently using a…

I purchased this product a few months ago based on the positive reviews but I couldn't be more disappointed. It worked fine when it arrived, but within a few weeks it crackled and stopped working when it wanted to. I figured I'd put up with it so as not to insult Zilla, the company I usually like to buy from. The last straw and the reason for this rating was that it blew out after little use! I hope this is just a coincidence and not a preview of the future quality of the product.

After too many cold nights I've found that my animals don't like 66F and won't use the little blankets I bought them. My guess is that using blankets on exotherms doesn't make sense. I use this dome in combination with the iPower GLTIMEDWEEK timer and the BYB - 100W ceramic infrared heater to control the temperature of my animals that I keep in a mesh cage. The dome of this reflector heats up, but not enough to damage the top of the housing screen. I don't know what else to say. This is a…

This is a great lamp bracket, I have enlarged my aquarium and needed a 150 watt heater lamp. However, I strongly recommend buying a lamp stand. It is difficult to get the right temperature in your bathing area as most aquariums vary in size and you risk burning out your bulbs faster if they touch the top of your enclosure, as well as risk of fire, mesh melting and other hazards. . Mine hangs about 1 inch above my mesh lid and my tank is 19 inches tall and keeps my bathing area at the optimum…

This review relates to the high-quality 8.5" black dome reflector from Zilla. Other mixed reviews here are of other models. This is a solid dome with a porcelain socket that has a built in switch. It has no loop for hanging. However, if you want to place it directly on the screen, this is perfect. The price includes a small clamp with three attached springs that securely attach the mount to the screen. This feature eliminates the possibility of the fixture being knocked over or misaligned…

I use them in my outdoor enclosures. I use 5 or 6 of these. Much cheaper to run than an electric heater and they're half the price of the ones I've used. What I don't like about ceramic heat is that it doesn't heat up the aviary but is (presumably) absorbed by the birds' bodies. So I don't feel the heat when I go out there. But sometimes I see a lot of feathers on the ground, so I think they keep her warm enough. Maybe too warm. In front of them. BUT I found that my birds (small budgies) had…

This is a replacement for a 10 year old Zilla. The old one looks the same. Just keep an eye on the cord near the lamp. Since you are using heat, after a while (years) the rubber can crack and work 24/7. Ours broke, and then the wires touched, sparks and a fire hazard. I think they need to rethink the rubber or the design. When I contacted Zilla they just said thank you for the information. The warranty was clearly expired, but I wanted to inform them of the danger. This is one of the best fixed
