Fluker's Ceramic Reptile Heat Emitter

As I have two older Diamond Doves and don't use the heat in the house, a heat lamp is necessary for the colder months. The cage they are in is quite large (23"x32"x37"), giving them room to get up close or stay very far from the heat. I would NOT recommend this bulb (150W) if the cage is small and they are unable to pick the temperature that they are comfortable at. I am able to leave it on the cage directly with no issues, and I accidentally left in on with the cage cover over it and nothing happened (thank goodness!). That does bring me to the only "negative". You cannot tell it is on as it emits no light. For me, that is a positive as I sleep in the same room as the cage, but it can cause As I have two older Diamond Doves and don't use the heat in the house, a heat lamp is necessary for the colder months.

I bought this CHE back in 2018. It traveled through two states and a few tortoise enclosures, never wavering or letting us down. There were no cracks and it always kept my boy warm. It finally met its fate when my husband and I were cleaning out Deryn’s pen and he accidentally melted a trash bag on it, then (once it cooled) took a Brillo to it to get it off but cracked the surface. Thankfully I keep a few back ups around, but if I ever need to replace his CHE again I’m definitely going with this one. Who knows how long it would have chugged on for.

Green bean my red eared slider turtle loves this lamp. And it’s especially nice because u can leave it on at night just Incase they get cold and u don’t have to worry about the bright light!

Bought on new years and by the beginning of March it burned out. I used it for 12 hours everyday and it worked perfectly till one day it stopped or wouldnt stay heated up for more than a couple hours

This is a great heat emitter! Some reptiles need the heat but not the light so this is perfect. It even works great with my dimmer allowing me to control the amount of heat. This makes it so much easier to make sure my snake is always comfortable.

My turtles weren’t eating and I thought it was because they were probably cold. So I went from a 60watt to this 150watt heat emitter and it made a huge difference. FYI I have a 20 gallon elongated tank , half full of water and 3 small water turtles ( 3-4 inches).

I originally bought one of these for my boa and we are using one over our tortoise currently now as well. They are a nice alternative to a bright heat lamp and can provide 24 hour heat while allowing your reptile to have dark time. They can be put on a thermostat to regulate heat or a dimmer that comes with some Flukers lamp domes. You do need to use a temp gauge to set your temp to the desired range but once it's set, it will maintain constant temps. Be sure to set the temp or this emitter will get hot...at least 106 degrees or hotter. This one is a 100 or 150 watt, so make sure you get a bigger dome that accommodates the higher wattages that the smaller 5 inch Fluker and other domes I originally bought one of these for my boa and we are using one over our tortoise currently now as well.

Used this to replace a 250W red heat lamp that hangs over the dog's bed (Boston Terriers) in the winter time. Due to the reduced wattage I had to lower the fixture a bit, and it took them a couple weeks to figure out it was on even with no light, but now everything's back to normal. They love it. IF this lasts as long as they say it will, we should save some serious $$s on heat lamps and power. I just wish they had 200W or 250W version, then we could use them in the chicken's coop as well.

I've been told these last for a VERY very long time, and the packaging even says it should last thousands upon thousands of hours. I finally purchased one for my ball python, Ragnarok, and it's been great so far. It keeps her warm side at around 90°, and she has a heat mat underneath her tank that keeps the substrate warm as well. I love the no light feature! Nights have been colder this year than previous California ones, so it's great to be able to keep it on all night and watch her enjoy herself inside her cage. I have it connected to the Fluker's lighting dome & it works so nicely (: For this price, too, I will be purchasing more.

I purchased a couple of these for nighttime heat, seems to be working good. It warms the tank 10 deg warmer than other night lights. I have a heat pad (under tank) then day heat lamp, was using the black night light but my tank is tall so didn't give off much heat.
