If the bulb is to be mounted inside the terrarium, then the minimum height is 48 inches for the 125W and 60 inches for the 160W Solar Glo. Be sure to provide enough space to allow the animal to be a minimum of 12 inches from the bulb's surface in addition to providing a temperature and UV gradient within the terrarium.
-
Carefully remove the bulb from its packaging, hold bulb by the base and inspect the glass envelope for any possible cracks or damage.
-
The Exo Terra Solar Glo must be housed in a fixture with a ceramic/porcelain base that is rated for at least the wattage of the lamp. DO NOT use a plastic socket as it is a fire hazard and will void the warranty. The Solar Glo must be mounted in a vertically oriented fixture so the bulb points straight down and NOT at an angle.
-
Mounting this bulb at an angle will reduce its burn life and will void any warranty.
-
Do not use this bulb in conjunction with a dimmer or thermostat.
-
This bulb is sensitive to high temperatures and vibration. Make sure that it is mounted in a place with good ventilation and where it will not be disturbed. Moving the bulb while switched ON will shorten its life and void the warranty.
-
Mounting Location: The Solar Glo will function best when mounted outside the terrarium where it is not exposed to extreme heat, humidity and vibration. If you must mount the bulb inside the terrarium, make sure your reptile cannot come in contact with it. If the bulb shuts off unexpectedly, a safety feature (thermal reset) has likely occurred.
-
Plug fixture into an electrical outlet (surge protector is recommended).The Solar Glo will take five minutes to warm up and reach its full intensity. The bulb's output will continue to change hue (or color) until it has completely warmed up.
-
Restarting: The Solar Glo bulb will take 15 minutes to cool down after turning off the bulb, before being restarted. This is due to a thermal reset feature intended to prevent damage due to overheating the bulb
-
If the Solar Glo shuts off for no apparent reason, one of the following condition may exist:
-
The power being supplied to your outlet is inappropriate or fluctuating. Small changes in line voltage can trip the bulb's thermal reset mechanism. If the voltage is consistently low, then the bulb will not be able to function properly. Check with your local utility or your electrician to verify your voltage. Overdriving the bulb (i.e. high voltage levels) by as little as 10% can decrease burn life by more than 50% and would void any warranty.
-
There is too much heat in or around the terrarium and the bulb The Solar Glo's thermal reset feature will shut the bulb off for a cool down period if it gets too hot. Using the bulb in a place or fixture that is not well ventilated can cause heat buildup. If the bulb occasionally shuts off to cool down and later restarts (usually about 15 minutes), this is normal.

This bulb absolutely sucks! Plug it in to make sure it worked and then unplugged it to plug it into the daytime socket on my timer strip and the bulb didn't work. Waited for it to cool down and tried again and it came back on. A few minutes later it went off again. I will never buy these bulbs again. They are absolute junk.

Ordered this bulb due to price, not sure it is worth it though because it blew within a few weeks of use. Have used other brands that have lasted far longer. If I have to keep ordering every few weeks I might as well order the more expensive brand that I know lasts even though the price is more.

Needed another light bulb for my tegu who just got out of hibernation and really needed a new basking bulb with uva/uvb. She basked in the lamp all day today and LOVED it! 125W and got up to 100 degrees. Perfect for my tegu. Very energized and ran around the house while enjoying it. (Maybe she was saying thank you?) Ordered bulb on Sunday night, bulb was at my doorstep earlier than expected. Came Wednesday morning. (Maybe at my door around 8pm Tuesday night? Nobody delivers during the early morning.) No damage and works wonderfully! ALSO, box came with a coupon booklet and I was able to get our dog some FREE Ovenbaked brand treats!

Over the past year I have gone through 3-4 of these bulbs. They blow out, I checked lot numbers and even had an electrician check everything. They just blow out. One after a couple of weeks one lasted a few months. I won't be buying these again. Chewy customer service is excellent and they replaced 2 of them.

After 1 week it just blew out. Its not my dome, the night bulb works. Its very disappointing to have the bulb stop working after a week when the rates are good.

I can't say enough about this bulb. It eliminates so much clutter and my lizard is always using it. I have converted to these bulbs for life.

After adopting an adult dragon I purchased this light after doing a lot research on the proper lighting/heat for dragons. This lamp keeps a large patio stone nice and warm all day and we have even noticed our dragons orange coloring has become brighter and is coming out on other parts of his body
