Good bulb for price
Lamps good, have lasted, give off more heat than a regular heating bulb, not as cheap as say Loweâs but works great
James Garrett –
Only lasts a month
Bulb only lasted for a month and burnt out. I’ve gone through several of these and I won’t be buying another one.

Burn out WAY too fast
These bulbs tend to burn out in less than 30 days. I got this most recent bulb on June 29 and it burned out by July 12. I find this incredibly frustrating.The bulb spends 12 hours a day on and 12 hours a day off as recommended by the reptile specialist. I donât understand why these bulbs just do not last. This has happened with every single one Iâve bought. Lesson finally learned.

Horrible
This is the third bulb I had to order, first 2 came in broken, FINALLY got one that worked, and blew on the 31st day, now I canât return it and Iâm out $20 and have to wait for another one to come in. It also has a really bad concentration point and gets way to hot in that spot, not waste your money.

Good bulb, but blew fast
I bought two for my geckos, halogen are the best to use, but one blew out 2 days in.

Die Lampe an sich ist super. aber wie der Vorredner schon sagte, sie hat leider eine sehr kurze Lebensdauer. Heute ist die Lampe nach nicht mal 3 Wochen Einsatz kaputt gegangen. die davor hatte wenigstens 9 Wochen gehalten. Die Rückgabe für diese Bestellung war leider nur möglich bis 20. Februar. ich werde mir diese Lampe nicht mehr auf Vorrat bestellen, sondern – wenn überhaupt noch mal online – erst, wenn die Lampe kaputt ist. in der Hoffnung, daà dies erst im Sommer passiert, so dass ich den zusätzlichen Wärmespot nicht am gleichen Tag brauche.Dann habe ich wenigstens die Chance auf Ersatz bei der kurzen RückgabeFrist, sollte sich die nächste online bestellte Lampe wieder so schnell verabschieden. Musste mir eben kurzfristig Ersatz im Zoohandel besorgen, da ich nicht damit rechnen konnte, daà man besser immer 2 Ersatzlampen braucht! ziemlich kostspieliges Unterfangen, leider noch keinen adäquaten Ersatz gefunden 🙁

Set up and got up to heat fine, then blew!! Possibly just randomly faulty as not had an issue with these before

Lesson learned in purchasing these fragile items online is the risk of damaged products. And between time being wasted to return/ refund etc. itâs also just adding to more waste.It was easier for us to buy from a local pet shop in our neighbourhood.

Wieder nach zwei Monaten defekt.Hatten schon Birnen von ExoTerra die bereits nach Lieferung oder nach einer Woche nicht mehr heizten.So viel Geld und null Qualität. Müssen uns nun wieder mit amazon auseinander setzen.
