Questions & Answers

What wattage should I use for my leopard geckos in a 20L tank?

Answer by ChewyDec 14, 2017
Leopard geckos are nocturnal and do not require a UVB light, it may be used for day lighting though. We'd recommend a 25 watt bulb at the most in a 5 gallon tank.

Will these be effective in a 40gallon tank enclosure for a beardie?

Answer by ChewyMar 16, 2022
The 100 or 150 watt basking spot lamp would be more suitable for a bearded dragon in a 40 gallon tank.

Does it come with a heat bulb??

Answer by ChewyJul 19, 2021
This listing is only for the Repti Basking Spot® Lamp that has a unique patented double reflector that focuses 35% more heat and light into a tight beam. It increases the overall ambient air temperature and mimics the tropical and desert climates diurnal reptiles are used to.

Can this fit in a 8.5 inch dome ?

Answer by ChewyFeb 22, 2022
The basking spot lamp will fit in the 8.5 inch clamp lamp, depending on the wattage of the bulb though, it may stick out of the fixture a little.

Good for basking

My box turtle needs a basking light. I use another tube light for the 5.0 uvb rays but I needed a light that put out a little more heat for the area where he basks

My box turtle needs a basking light. I use another tube light for the 5.0 uvb rays but I needed a light that put out a little more heat for the area where he basks. I decided to start with 75 watts as 100 watts might be too hot. This seems to be perfect so his basking area is between 84 and 87 degrees now. I bought the twin pack as I need to replace it in 6 months. Happy with my selection and good price as well.

Good product but it's the only one on the market that has what I need, but the lifespan has gotten way shorter than it used to. It used to last about 3-4months, but recently I've been changing it every 1.5-2 months, which is a huge disappointment from such a big brand.

Packing leaves a lot to be desired.

Packing from Chewy leaves a lot to be desired. For some reason, packers don't understand you don't ship delicate things like lightbulbs with heavy things like cat

Packing from Chewy leaves a lot to be desired. For some reason, packers don't understand you don't ship delicate things like lightbulbs with heavy things like cat litter. Common sense would go a long way.

Broken bulbs

I order many things for many different animals and typically I get 2 packages. Not this time though sadly my reptile bulbs were put in the same box as a 40lb bag

I order many things for many different animals and typically I get 2 packages. Not this time though sadly my reptile bulbs were put in the same box as a 40lb bag of dog food and a 5lb bag of small animal food so when I opened the box the light bulbs were shattered cause the food bags smoothed them. And glass was all over the box. This was sad to see but expected when fragile things aren't packaged properly

Bulb burnt out

I've ordered this light multiple times before and normally it lasts for months. Unfortunately the last set I ordered, one of them burnt out after just two weeks

I've ordered this light multiple times before and normally it lasts for months. Unfortunately the last set I ordered, one of them burnt out after just two weeks. However, it's pretty rare when that happens. It's happened only one other time to me. I just got a bad bulb this time around I think.

Burnt out within one month

Burnt out after 4 weeks of use. Was used in the appropriate lamp, but still burnt out very quickly. Very disappointing.
