I have a 65 lb. Sulcata Tortoise whom requires UVB lighting. I ordered this bulb because I prefer the Self-Ballasated style. I use a Solarmeter UV Index Meter to check my bulbs. The measurement on this bulb was 0...indicating no UV benefit at all. This is very concerning as many reptile owners would not own an expensive meter and would assume since it was working their reptile would be getting the proper lighting required. As disappointed as I was with this product, I will also state the Chewy Customer Service folks were awesome. They reimbursed me without any hassles.
I got this bulb after so many other bulbs not lasting long and blowing. I like the bulb it is a heavy think glass bulb but the one thing I noticed is that the bulb hums when it is on which can become annoying.
