Looks great in a terrarium.

Perfect for my terrarium. The lighting is bright but doesn't look that bright during the day, but critters don't need to be under spotlights. Looks very nice from above instead of looking at bulbs and wires for traditional heat lamps and lanterns.

Pros
  • High-quality construction
Cons
  • Can be retrofitted

So far, so good! - Aquarium lighting

My red-bellied turtle loves to sunbathe in the blue daylight! I just received it today and it looks great! Let's see how it holds up over time. The top seems really hot with 60W of blue daylight. Hopefully the plastic doesn't melt all day.

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • Protection

Love the dual switches

. I bought this for my 10 gallon corn snake terrarium and I LOVE the dual switch feature. I have a bright daylight and a blue light for night vision and it looks amazing. The metal back wall keeps the heat in the terrarium (I had to work with moisture in the aquarium as it dried out a bit from the heat of the light). The purchase is definitely worth it.

Pros
  • . High marks for support and durability from testers.
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model.

My turtle is happy!

I have a slider with red ears and bought this product because it has two sockets for two different bulbs. One slot contains a Zoo Med ReptiSun® 5.0 compact fluorescent lamp and the other slot contains a 60W Zoo Med Red Reptile Night Light. There are two switches on the back of the hood that can be used to turn each lightbulb on and off individually. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase, although I don't think I'll be as happy as my turtle.

Pros
  • Long-term test results
Cons
  • Bad buy

It looks so beautiful in the aquarium with my gecko!

I bought this to replace 2 dome lights I had over my leopard gecko tank. Her aquarium is on outdoor display and to be honest I've always found the ceiling lights in my house to be sloppy and garish. I decided to treat myself to this terrarium light and it looks much prettier and neater. It's slim and I love that each bulb has its own switch. Nobody in town could even come close to matching the deal I made with Revane.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very expensive

Meaningful Zoo Med hood

I just bought an Exo-Terrarium, approx 30 gallons, 18x18x24. And together with him I bought the recommended range hood, which I did not need because of a switch for two light bulbs, day and night. So it's all or nothing. I returned it and bought one from Zoo Med and while it doesn't quite fit, it fits great, looks good and has TWO switches. Now it makes sense to me to have a switch for the day light AND a separate switch for the night light. I'm new to Crested Gecko and this is the perfect…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

2 switches for 2 bulbs

very nice hood. What makes the Zoo Med better than similar models (Exo Terra) are the 2 switches on this one. So you can turn on both bulbs or just one or the other right from the hood. Similar ones (Exo Terra) only have 1 switch that turns on both outlets. Weak. (I don't hate Exo Terra, I have an Exo Terra 18x18x24 terrarium and like the double doors better than the single door Zoo Med 18x18x24. I also like their bamboo feeding tongs.) So anyway, if you don't love terrariums, I would recommend

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • little things

Perfect fit for Crestie

I bought this hood for my new Bioactive Crested Gecko aquarium and it still works great. I set it on a timer (sold separately) to turn it on at 8am and off at 7pm. The hood sits right in the middle on its tank (18 x 18 x 24), allowing all plants to grow towards it and not at an angle. I installed an atomizer in the back corner and had no problems with water getting into the hood, which bothered me at first. The hood is really easy to set up and the bulbs are pretty affordable (I buy 2 packs of…

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
