Disappears in less than 2 months

Frustrated. When I buy them from the store they last months if not a year or more. I bought this on March 26th and it came out on May 5th. It's not worth it.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Problems

Order a replacement if it stops working

Write this review because of customer service. The lamp only lasted a weekend but a new one was sent to me the next day after contacting Revain. I hope the new one lasts longer otherwise you will have to order a replacement.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • 0

Dissatisfied with lamp life.

is available less than a month later. I just ordered another brand and am trying the red light to see if it lasts longer. I thought my first blowout was an accident, but after encountering the same problem multiple times, I decided to try a different brand.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Update

Zilla no longer seems to be a quality product

Zilla is one of the companies we always buy for our reptiles. Now we only have ball pythons and the bulbs have burned out very quickly in the last few months. Lasts between a few weeks and a few months. Don't wake up with a very cold snake or 2, sometimes 3.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Fits

Bought 2: the first died in two weeks and the second came broken

The quality of these has deteriorated. I used to love this company. Lightbulbs used to last months, sometimes even a year! I just bought two and the first one blew out after 2 weeks and the second one broke upon opening with a rattling fuse. Very disappointed that this company has degraded the quality so much. I will look for an alternative.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • I will add later

I was annoyed that the light library itself had two scratches on both sides and the packaging was crushed when I received it: it was but double bubble wrapped still washed and scratched. The bulb doesn't fit well and doesn't take out much heat, but it's useful for our cold winters. I might try a different bulb next time as I'm not happy with it:

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • dull packaging

Bad Bulbs X2: Heat Bulbs

Don't buy from this site! Zilla fixtures have always been reliable for me and I love their value for money. However, the bulbs I bought from Revain failed 2 hours after the return deadline the first time and didn't even light up the second time. >:( Not a happy hermit crab owner here! The color was right and they were packaged appropriately, but 0 for 2 at work I wouldn't recommend. Buy them in person at the pet store, it makes life easier!

Pros
  • Very Impressive
Cons
  • Unfashionable

You have to decide if it's worth the price

I've been buying this bulb for my hermit crab tank for years. I liked them when I used them; However, they never lasted very long and I stopped using them. I chose this bulb because it mimicked moonlight and seemed to give off a decent amount of heat. It took about a month, which might seem like a long time, but I just didn't want to spend every month doing it. I decided to put a more powerful Fluke heater mat on the back of the tank and turn off the light at night. This setup is working fine…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
