Review on πŸ”₯ Efficient Heating Solution: Zoo Med Basking Spot Lamps 100 Watt by Gerald Mcrae

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Bad lamp base? Best of Heat Lamps

I bought this item for my bearded dragon on January 1st because the price was great. Good thing I have six lightbulbs! I just installed my latest yesterday and it's only May 25th. Two of them exploded within three weeks, and the remaining three broke off the lamp base. I had to use needle nose pliers to unscrew the base from the socket. Talk about problems; Not to mention the fire hazard! I will try these bulbs again; Maybe I just got a bad batch, but I'll keep a close eye on it. By the way, I bought this particular lightbulb from a pet store last December and it blew out after a week. If the next six don't last me at least three years, I'll switch to another brand. On the other hand, these bulbs give off a nice soft light, and just one of them keeps the heating temperature at 96-102 degrees in my 6 x 3 x 2 foot vivarium.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Hard to say
