Liking it so far, but will update (4/7/19)
I got these because they fit my specs of type, volt, watts, and i completely forgot about the size. Im so used to the zoo med light bulbs, so the size really freaked me out at first. I thought this was going to be a big problem, but i tried it out anyways. Installed it on my turtle tank and so far its doing its job... little foot (my res) is basking. The heat/light isnt as intense as my zoo med, but was fixed by moving it a bit closer. I am impressed so far, because of the price and the amount you get, and its still cheaper then ONE zoo med light bulb($20).I will update more if these bulbs are going to last me for a while or not.

Fire hazard and dangerous
I have a colony of Anoles. These worked great at first, tiny but bright and very hot. However these bulbs are very dangerous. I bought 60. If you even touched the lamps to reposition (such as when feeding lizards) the immediately burned out, and not just a typical burning out. These burst into a cloud of black smoke that smelled dangerous and chemical. It happened multiple times one right after the other, so I had to turn off all the lamps and replace them with a normal heating lamp after just one day of use. Upon further inspection, several of the bulbs had detached from their bases, and fused to my lamp sockets making them nearly impossible to get out. Several others (bulbs that did NOT even burst into an infernal smoke cloud) had charred and damaged the sockets, so that they no longer worked with any bulbs and had to be thrown away. Don’t buy these. They’re dangerous and a real fire hazard.

Bulb may detach from its base
I have this bulb in a clip light for my turtle tank. Recently the top of one of the bulbs became detached from the metal screw in base. The top fell into the tank and onto the moss almost lighting it on fire. The clip light then began to smoke and my turtle almost died.I inspected the base of the bulb when I removed it from the clip light and it looks like the bulb is mortared together which apparently did not hold. This can be dangerous if not constantly checked. I am going back to a standard bulb.

Update
Just received these bulbs today. The three that I am using are fine, however one of them did come broken. The only reason I’m putting that in this review is because I can’t figure out anyway to contact the company I bought these from and I don’t want to return all of the bulbs. So if anyone from the company that sold these to me sees this, I would like my broken bulb replaced. Other than that they seem fine so far. UPDATE- One bulb burned out yesterday, another burned out today, one arrived broken. So, all in all not a great deal. I won’t be buying these again.

Cheap but works well enough to keep me buying again.
I keep many turtles and tortoises so I go thru a lot of heat bulbs. These double as uva/b and heat. The heat generated isn't crazy so I don't know a bearded dragon would be happy but my turts and torts bask under these all day. Im only getting a few weeks out of each and it's still cheaper than purchasing the more expensive brand names from big chain pet stores. All in all im mostly happy for what I paid.

When they work, they work well, when they don't it's a fire hazard.
I have used these for a couple of years, sometimes they burn out in just a few days, sometimes they last for a month. The problem is when they burn out, sometimes they go out with a bang. I've had 3 fixtures ruined by these bulbs. The newest blow out shot flames out of the top of the fixture. Last straw for me. I will be looking for another bulb, and replacing fixtures.

SO far so good
Great light for the price. We have a bearded dragon and she really enjoys the light vs. what we had before ( heat lamp, which was temporary. ). She is so much more active and with a good and balanced diet( meal worms and greens) she is thriving. The light itself is small but for one dragon its enough. I will assume that we will add another light int he winter month, depending how cold it will be in her habitat.

Stopped Working
This lamp lasted about a month. The lights didn't last long, started flickering and then when the bulb went out and I removed it part of it was stuck into the housing, but also when I was turning it to remove it the light came back on, which means it did not blow out, but there was something wrong with the lamp. I would not purchase this item again.
