I love these heat lamps!

I bought 75W. We just got a hedgehog and a leopard gecko and these lightbulbs are perfect for heating! Absolutely no light (no blue glow). There is enough heat to heat a 12 inch tall glass gecko tank to 85-88F on the hot side when the room temperature reaches 68F. A large plastic hedgehog tub with metal mesh on top (do not wear plastic) is about 16cm high and has a volume of over 100 liters. The room temperature is back to around 68ยฐF, which brings it to our desired level of 75-76ยฐF. I used a wider dome on the hedgehog cage (8.5 inches) because the heat needs to be dissipated over a larger area, rather than having a cold side and a hot side like a gecko. I think if I had gone for a smaller 16 inch dome it would have been a few degrees hotter but only in one area more. I will buy again if needed!

Pros
  • heat lamps and terrarium mats
Cons
  • old
