Works great, perfect combination for tortoises

I've had this flashlight for a few months now and both bulbs run 12 hours a day with a timer. None of them burned out, the sunlight creates a lot of warmth for my northern map turtle. Would I buy again Edit: It took 8 months to burn out a lightbulb that ran 12 hours a day, every day. UV lamp still works

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Some issues

New product not received

I ordered this product for my Red Ear Slider and was expecting a brand new product. However, I received a used, dusty, slightly rusty lamp. Lightbulbs were also used. Also, I'm not sure if the bulb itself is broken or if it's the bulbs, but I plugged it in to test and none of the bulbs lit. I am absolutely dissatisfied and totally disappointed.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Some small things

Broken UV bulb best for terrarium warming bulbs and mats

Went to a local Petco and after buying 2 bulbs and 2 lights found these at Revain, MUCH cheaper. This is a good 1 bulb design with two bulbs to connect. Delivery includes a solar and UV globe. Definitely inexpensive. However, the UVB lamp was burnt out/broken (see picture). It did not work. I hooked up a UVB lamp I got from petco and it worked. So I guess I'll have to keep it to myself. If it weren't for the broken bulb I would have given this review 5 stars.

Pros
  • Lasting test results
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Excellent lamps that fit all R-type lamps

If you need a UV lamp with a heat lamp, this is the product for you. The unit has 2 separate plugs for each heat lamp and UV lamp, making it handy if you only want to turn on one lamp. The downside is that 2 outlets must be available if you want to power both. The lamps are lightweight and durable and come with a handle to hang the lamps on if desired. Lamp stand not included. Any R-type bulb can be used, but learn what your body needs. You can always count on Zoo Med.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • General information

So far perfect for reptiles and amphibians

Received it quicker than expected which really helps with this home order. Packaging and parts are brand new. Easy to assemble. And because it comes with the right bulbs, I know it's safe for our turtle and the environment. The price is lower than other sites. My last lamp lasted 5 years before I dropped it. We used to have a metal aquarium lid and had no problem touching the lamp directly. Now we have made a bathing area with an egg crate. The heat melts it a bit so I ordered a coaster just in

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Fits

Exactly what I was looking for!

Bought this with the Zoo Med reptile lamp stand (full size) and am very happy with it. Our renewable energy turtle likes to bask in a heat lamp and get the UV rays it needs. Great purchase with a dual bulb rather than trying to hang 2 different lights which is not aesthetically pleasing. Each lamp has its own switch and they can be turned on at the same time. Lamp covers have small ventilation holes for heat dissipation. Very well made at a fair price. Cheaper than local pet stores. UL-listedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • I have doubts

Good product, not so happy with the seller.

I made this product for my own turtle. Heat is decent, durability is decent - I've had to replace a bulb in less than 6 months and bulbs need to be re-tightened about every week. The price is quite high but my turtle stays safe and sound. He spends hours sunning himself underneath. This light is a gift, I was dismayed to find that it only comes in the box with the product. For almost $50 and the dim bulbs inside, I was a little pissed. The box is badly dented, holes and dents. Not to mention Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great Price

Great concept, wrong product

Bought to light a 40 gallon RES tank. +2 stars for the concept: I really wanted to like this combo lamp. This is a great idea that offers a simple all-in-one solution to your lighting problems. It mostly comes as described and from a company with a seemingly good reputation. The bulbs fit in the headlight and didn't stick out at all. And while she was working, our turtle warmed up a lot. - 2 stars for performance: the product appears to be defective. As previously mentioned, the UVB bulb (which

  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Great out of the box, problem for 8 weeks

I bought this for an indoor winter "pond" (bath) for our red-eared slider. This winter has been too cold and cloudy to give it enough sunshine/time to bask on the glass shelf like in the past. I set it up about a foot above his sunning rock in early December and he loved it. Both bulbs, lamp and all instructions were in the box and everything worked perfectly. Its installation is safe and secure, and I take it out of the splash zone when cleaning and filling the tub. A few days ago the UV lampโ€ฆ
