I must have for reptiles.
By Kaylee on Mar 13, 2019
I recently rescued a 5 year old bearded dragon with metabolic bone disease. With proper husbandry and proper uvb lighting he's already showing improvement. This product came quickly and safely. The box was a bit big but at least the light was well packaged and arrived intact.

It lasted quite awhile.
By Prongs78 on Feb 18, 2019
A lot of people said this cake broken or didn’t last very long. You’re supposed to change them every 6 months and mine lasted that full time and is still working. My beardie is doing great.

I use these bulbs for my bearded dragon and tegu. They lasted over a year when I get the same one from pet story. First time ordering it from chewy so hoping for the same outcome.

Description Correction
By KD333 on Jan 6, 2019
The Description states this bulb can be place on top of the screen. That info is false. This bulb is a T8 and needs to be mounted inside the tank. Only T 5 bulbs can be set on top of the screen and still benefit the reptile.

Great bulb, but not loving the price increase.
By Tiff on Jan 8, 2019
I love this bulb for my bearded dragon, but why such an increase in price? This bulb was the reason chewy.com got my business in the first place. I hope the price comes back down soon.

By BeardieMom on Nov 25, 2018
LOVE this bulb for my bearded dragons! I buy several when they go on sale for about $18 a piece. Need to change them out every 6 months or so with bearded dragons because the amount of emission goes down at or possibly before this point. This and the Arcaidia are the best on the market and will be buying many more in the future.
