This fixture is compatible with T8 bulbs that are 18 inches long. It includes the compatible Desert 50 UVB, T8 Fluorescent Bulb. This light fixture simulates natural daylight to fulfill the photo-biological requirement of desert reptiles, it would not be recommended for aquatic turtles.

Is this light good for live plants? I’m trying to find lighting for both my leopard geckos & their succulents.
Answer by ChewyDec 11, 2019
This light fixture would be suitable for live plants as well as leopard geckos. Ensure you keep a temperature gauge in the tank to make sure it doesn't get too hot for the leopard geckos.

Zilla Desert light fixture

Needed a replacement fixture for our bearded dragon and found this on Chewy. Seemed like a good product, and it works ok, but the product size/description is misleading. The fixture is large but the actual light is only 18". Be sure when you go to order a replacement bulb you get the correct size.

light itself is only 18in

They of course put that at the very bottom of the listing too! This is not a 24 in lamp which it's labeled as, instead it's only 18 inches.

Not a good quality

Only after 2 weeks it's stopped working. I went to the pet store bought a new light bulb and it still would not work.

Don't Do It

This light is a piece of junk. It would only stay on if we were actively pushing the bulb in; as soon as we let go and flipped it over onto our bearded dragon's tank it turned off. Off/on/off/on, so frustrating. It's cheap plastic and clearly doesn't have a great connection to the bulb. I ended up buying a fixture from Home Depot and purchasing the ReptiSun 10.0 T8 bulb here instead. Don't buy this!

Good for the price

The product description is misleading, the bulb ONLY produces UVB, no heat. Some reviews said the bulb was not producing UVB so I tested and the bulb I got IS working correctly and producing UVB. However, the light does not penetrate very far down, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this for a bearded dragon, or anything in a large tank. I use this for my emerald swift, as he's in a 20 gallon long tank and the lightweight fixture is good for the smaller tank.

misleading don’t buy

The sizes aren’t correct and the lamp does NOT produce any heat! I’m going to return this immediately

items don't go together!

It would be great if the lamp was sized to fit the bulb. The lamp takes an 18" bulb. The bulb in the kit (frequently bought together) was for a 24" lamp. Go figure.

Waste of money

I purchased this light fixture for my Russian tortoise's enclosure. I assumed that the bulb would produce UV as stated, so I mounted it in the enclosure. After several hours, I used my UV meter to see how far/close it needed to be to the substrate to be beneficial. The UV meter read 0%! There is absolutely NO UV benefit from this bulb. Unfortunately, because I drilled some small holes in the plastic part of the fixture for mounting purposes, I cannot return it and get my money back. Zilla lost me as a future customer. To be clear, my issue is with Zilla, not Chewy.com. I would give it 0 stars, but the lowest rating is 1 star.

Works great!

This is just what my tank needed. Great size to cover 2/3 of the tank for UVB coverage.
