Good Temp Bulb

Firstly, those saying it doesn’t work after unplug and replug are only half correct. The bulb will not turn back on until it cools off a bit. Wait a few minutes

Firstly, those saying it doesn’t work after unplug and replug are only half correct. The bulb will not turn back on until it cools off a bit. Wait a few minutes and try again. Secondly, this bulb should be fine for starting out but you should really try and get a proper UVB light that covers the whole enclosure and some heat lamps to focus the basking spot

Thus light just doesn't last.

This bulb lasted me 6 weeks. I thought buying a pricier bulb that it would last a bit longer than 6 weeks.

Too hot

Raised the surface temps 30 degrees. Way too hot and my beardie always moved away from this light. Might work if it’s real cold out but not right now for my 80

Raised the surface temps 30 degrees. Way too hot and my beardie always moved away from this light. Might work if it’s real cold out but not right now for my 80 degree house. You would think 80 watt would be milder. The light works though.
