Customers say

Customers find the UV bulb to be of good quality and appreciate its heat retention capabilities. However, the functionality receives mixed feedback, with some saying it works great while others report it only works sometimes and stops working after 2 weeks. Moreover, the lifespan is concerning, with many reporting it burns out after about 2 months. Additionally, the UVB output and value for money get mixed reviews, with some finding it good value while others consider it poor value. The brightness also receives mixed feedback.

    Great customer service
    These bulbs are great for the health of your pet unfortunately sometimes they only last a few months. I called zoo med and they sent me another one at no charge.

    **DOES NOT PROVIDE UVA/UVB
    I was so excited to get this for my beardie, as soon as I got this light I switched my old bulb for this and just for good measure busted out the uv reader,, to my surprise it does not provide the (essential) uva/uvb- my card reader did not pick up not even a hint of it. Just to make sure I plugged back in my old bulb and used the card reader and it turned purple instantly! I was very upset. Had I not had my uv card reader and just switched the bulbs, my beardie would have contracted MBD, which is very serious and irreversible. I only bought this bulb because it was supposed to provide the most important. I took two photos to prove it didn’t supply uva/uvb!! My uv reader turns purple when uv is detected The first photo is of this product, you can clearly see the cards are white. The second photo is of my current uv bulb and you can see that uv reader has detected it. U.v is very crucial to my beardie it states on the box that it (provides essential uva/uvb that they need) on the box with a green star around it so you can read it! BUT IT DID NOT! I’m not sure if it was just this one bulb or not, but I payed almost fitty buxx for this and had it not been for my uv readers. My beardie could have contracted Mbd, one thing I do recommend is buying a uv reader so you can be sure your reptiles are really getting the (essential uv they need) instead of trusting what they put on the box!!!

    Does its function
    So expensive! But it works well. Doesn’t last as long as I’d hope

    Best Mercury vapor bulbs
    I have been using these powersun bulbs for my Russian tortoise the entire time I have had her. I have tried other brands but none perform as consistently. They are nice and bright, they last, maintain good UV output, keep it nice and hot in the basking spot. They are well worth the money and the best option I’ve found for the health of my pet.

    Product arrived very quickly and was packed very securely to keep anything from breaking. Will definitely be ordering from them again.

    Good value
    I use these bulbs for my Red Earred sliders and also for my tortoise. They are long lasting and provide the UVA and UVB with the heat all in one. It is also what my vet recommended. The cost of these bulbs here is a great value because I pay $60 for one bulb at the petstore.

    Not worth the money, bulb goes out quickly
    Bulb goes out too quickly for price. Mine only lasted four months before going out. Though it is a great source of UVB, I recommend Arcadia bulbs/tubes. Last longer, cheaper bulbs/tubes and also highly recommended by vets.

    同じ商品を使用していたので購入交換してスイッチを入れてみると点滅を続けて使い物にならなかったその前の同じ電球も4か月で同じ症状を示したけど、その前に購入したものは1年間使用し続けられて今は緊急用の保温球として保管中性能はいいと思うが耐久面や安定性の個体差が大きすぎると感じる

    No me gustó el producto espere algunos días para que llegara. Tenía de momento a mi ejemplar con un Uvb de exoterra para que no se quedara sin uvb y llega el foco y al parecer ya venia usado y no prendía. Se escuchaba como si la resistencia estuviera ya quemada del uso
