I have a 18x18x36 zoomed cage with a young veiled chameleon he sleeps more in the top plastic bush will the 25 or 50 watt be better for at night my home gets about 70 at night

Answer by Chewy • Aug 20, 2018
Chameleons do not need night lights. If temperatures drop lower than 60 degrees Fahrenheit, a ceramic heat emitter that does not give off light can be used. Chameleons have a photoreceptive scale, or parietal eye, on their head that senses light, so even the blue and red bulbs disrupt sleep.

Hello also wondering if I'm able to use this for turtle which watt? I usually have a 50 is that given effort heat? Thanks cant wait to try if it can wk for my Turtle.

Answer by Chewy • Mar 26, 2020

is this a uvb

Answer by Chewy • Sep 13, 2020
This is not a UVB bulb.

can this be used for a frog

Answer by Chewy • Mar 30, 2023
This bulb may be used for a frog, depending on the species needs. This bulb provides UVB, which even for a short amount of time, allows reptiles, amphibians, and many other vertebrates to produce Vitamin D, which is vital for proper calcium absorption in the intestines.

Work well for me

These have held up well, they work well for the combo led with timer I have. It takes up less space but produces a nice nighttime heat for my bearded dragon.

Product Unable to be used 24/7

The low profile nature of this lamp is great but you cannot use this lamp overnight. Completely defeats the purpose of this product because the reptiles can see

The low profile nature of this lamp is great but you cannot use this lamp overnight. Completely defeats the purpose of this product because the reptiles can see the light at night.

Disappointed

I just bought this in October an it's already not working! I haven't messed with light at all and woke up to it off. I put the bulb in the other lamp and nothing!

I just bought this in October an it's already not working! I haven't messed with light at all and woke up to it off. I put the bulb in the other lamp and nothing! How did it burn out so quickly?! I don't understand why when these are supposed to last longer and be better.

I didn't know this before I ordered it, but red light is not actually great for reptiles (it used to be believed that reptiles couldn't see the color red so these would provide heat without them registering light and therefore would be great for nighttime heating, but this isn't true). Going forward, I'll use the mini ceramic heaters because those don't provide any light at all while still providing the heat, but that's more of a preference choice than anything. The actual bulbs work great and I love that they fit with the low-profile/space-saving overhead lamps.
