Not a good quality
By Kimmy on Oct 12, 2021
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
By SEV9 on Jun 15, 2021
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
By WigVilla on Mar 26, 2021
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
By jday on Apr 23, 2021
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!
By dang on Feb 12, 2021
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
By Jennifer on Sep 22, 2020
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!
By Ebae on Feb 8, 2021
This is just what my tank needed. Great size to cover 2/3 of the tank for UVB coverage.

Takes an 18” bulb
By Mike on Dec 28, 2020
This is a 24” fixture......but it uses an 18” bulb. Description could have been more clear

Overhead Tank Light
By SueB on Dec 12, 2020
Got for my hermit crabs when their light went out. This light is even better than the one I had.
