Review on 6 Pack 75W UVA & UVB Sun Lamp: Ideal Heat Source for Reptile Lizard, Pet Coop, Chicken, Turtle Brooder by Donnie Hickok

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good for what you get

I bought these to have a reserve if my more expensive bulbs burn out or need replacing. So my kites are never without lights waiting for new bulbs. I wanted to give them a fair rating as I'm always looking for good, inexpensive onions for my herps. You don't quite meet these criteria. BUT they are close. They give good heat and ultraviolet. I left one (well, two) in the bearded dragon tank for a month just to compare it to my $30 100w herpes lamp. It worked well. There was no noticeable difference between my kite and the temperatures in its warm-up zone by a couple of degrees. The real problem with these lamps is the quality. I had to replace a lightbulb after two weeks because it burned out. That's why I used two light bulbs for my monthly test. So I'm not sure if these lightbulbs are suitable for your everyday herpes. Overall this is a good buy as a replacement/temporary lamp.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
