Customers say
Customers find the basking fixture to be of good quality, working well for various reptiles including Painted turtles and leopard geckos, and appreciate its perfect size for terrariums. They like its sleek design and space-saving features, with one customer noting it houses everything internally. The heat output receives mixed feedback – while some say it provides plenty of heat, others mention it’s not enough. Several customers report issues with the fixture exploding.

Seven+ years and still amazing.
[3/1/2024 Edit: Still holding up perfectly.][9/6/2018 Edit: I purchased this back in May 2015, and it’s still holding up perfectly. I still happily use the non-Zilla brand packs of 25w halogens with ReptiSun 5.0 mini UVB bulbs. This thing is great.]I always struggled with getting good light fixtures for my turtle, dealing with mounting them, etc. This thankfully eliminated all of that by allowing me to have one single fixture that sets right on the screen with both lamps, and it seems to work perfectly. Very convenient and seems to be more manageable for both myself and for optimizing the turtle’s basking dock.I don’t get the Zilla branded halogen bulbs as there are cheaper alternatives, and I would say to get 25w bulbs – anything higher seems to make the fixture get too hot even if it technically supports it. I admittedly prefer to err on the side of caution with lighting temps.

sweet product
I use it for my bearded dragon, he seems to enjoy it, hasn’t left that spot all day so if he’s happy I’m happy. it doesn’t get as hot as using a separate heating fixture but for it’s small size it still does a good job. I use it with my heating pad under the tank so it keeps the cage a good temperature. It doesn’t come with the bulbs so you’ll have to buy them separate but fast shipping got everything at once and looks a lot better than a bunch of random fixtures above my enclosure. Would recommend.

Works great and looks great!
My favorite part about this fixture is that it is compact and houses everything internally unlike other fixtures that have less aesthetically-pleasing parts sticking out the back or top. I have had it almost three months and so far it is working great. My Bearded Dragon loves to lie under this or on top of his rocks that have a heated mat underneath them. The housing does get warm to the touch. I wouldn’t say it gets hot, but it definitely gets warm. I would say to just make sure it is only touching the top of your terrarium and not anything that would be adversely effected by heat. I would definitely recommend this for its great design and functionality.

Wonât Fit Zilla 50 Watt Ceramic Heat Bulb
I am an exotic reptile keeper/hobby breeder for going on 10 years, so I am continually testing out new products. Really liking the new line of combo/slim G9 light/heat options from Zilla. Makes my tank setups look a lot more modern and less cluttered with wires, plus these units use far less energy than standard MVB or incandescent heat bulbs.HOWEVER, there is a bit of a learning curve figuring out which bulbs will work. As stated in my review title, the mini CHE bulb that I was planning to use for nighttime heat will NOT fit in this unit. It is designed to fit only the small G9 mini halogen bulbs, and the housing is reinforced with metalâimpossible to modify. On the plus side, any standard compact fluorescent reptile UVB bulb fits perfectly (I used a 10.0 13 Watt one that I had laying around from a Thrive kit in my video).I do wish Zilla would have included a starter set of bulbs with this unitâat least one mini halogen G9âto get buyers off on the right track and to test the unit right out of the box. Maybe in the future, sellers will put together a âbundleâ option. Including bulbs would also make the unit a better value, IMO. Heat output is too low for my needs with a 25w day Blue mini halogen, so I am going to have to go back and order the 50w. I cannot comment on the longevity of the unit, because I just now set it up. Will update if there are any issues.My photo is of the top of my Chameleonâs screen enclosure, which has a 14â x 14â square panel. As you can see, this unit is still rather large, but regardless, offers a sleeker and much lower profile than the traditional âdomeâ style lamps. Hope this helps!

Great fixture
Thank you for this fixture! Have used Fluker brand fixture since we got our beardie. That fixture is expensive and not well made, also very large two lights. This fixture combines heat and UVB. Its light weight, all in one and low profile too. Seems well made too! Highly recommend!

I’m not saying it’s a bad purchase, however I am saying this product is …
My fault for not seeing the “lamps sold separately” printed small in the corner. I was desperately looking for the proper source of lighting that my turtles need. I cant even test this product because LIGHTS ARE NOT INCLUDED. I’m not saying it’s a bad purchase, however I am saying this product is overpriced and the description was uninformative. Had I known about the light issue, I’d have maybe went a different route about my purchase. My current heat lamp fixture was less than $20 (lamp-$11, 100 watt heated light-$8). This fixture alone without lights is $30 with tax. Now I have to buy lights and wait for them to arrive. I would give it a 2-star for inconvenience, but I received it in 2 days (on a Saturday) and got excited when I saw it. Bottom line: this product should be reduced in price.

Good product overall only one issue I found
This product saves space and does give off a lot of heat into the room and my anoles love it. Been using it now for around 4 months. Only complaint is the halogen bulbs are annoying to remove and put it.

After months of use, it exploded in my hand.
I have changed bulbs a couple of times since purchase. Every time before now was fine. The fixture itâs plugged into is fine, the surge protector I use is industrial type and rated for well over whatâs currently plugged into it. Thereâs plenty of ventilation so the fixture doesnât get too hot. I always made sure to use bulbs that were of the appropriate wattage- never above; but it exploded. Right in my hand as I was testing it with the new bulb before placing it back on top of the enclosure like I have before. To say I was shocked is an understatement.Happy it happened in my hand and not on top of my reptiles enclosure. For this reason I cannot recommend this fixture. This feels like a safety hazard.

Dans la description du Zilla, il mentionnait (Comprend 50 watt ampoule halogène de nuit rouge de chaleur), mais elle nây est pas pour ma part! et au prix quâil est mentionné, jâespérais lâobtenir!

Innovative well built fixture, the low profile design made it easier to get my various tanks stacked on a display rack, something that can’t be done with the bulky dome lamps. I use these fixtures on a 12 x 18 tall live planted terrariums for dwarf and day geckos. The 25 watt mini halogen bulb provides a perfect heat gradient and basking area 4-5 inches below the source. Ordering another for 15 gallon sand boa enclosure with the 50 watt mini halogen.
