Review on 🐍 Zoo Med Reptisun Compact Fluorescent: Optimal Lighting for Reptiles by Blanca Spahn

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Short life and other issues

Each bulb only lasted 2 months (or a little less) and the last one literally burned out, hissing and smoking. I was close by when I heard crackling noises coming from my aquarium. I looked back and saw the bulb flash and breathe its last, making a pop and pop and smoke billowing out of the hood. Not only will I not be buying them again because they only lasted 8 weeks, but the smoking I observed when the lights went out gives me safety concerns.

Pros
  • Can be oriented both vertically and horizontally
Cons
  • Will write later
