Zoo Med Nocturnal Infrared Incandescent Heat Lamp 75 Watts

I ordered this for my son’s gecko and it works very well on his tank

I've had 3 of these lamps. The first, I obtained at a now-defunct Pet shop. Unfortunately, it was defective and burned out in two days. I took it back to the pet shop, and they refused to replace it. They merely offered me a 10% discount on another bulb! (At their price, that was only $1.90. EXPENSIVE bulb!) I contacted Zoo Med, they had me send a copy of the receipt, and the Bar Code from the box, and they sent me a replacement that I have used as a heater for my Cavies (Guinea Pigs) for over two winters. When I increased the size of my herd, I obtained another heat lamp. This time, I ordered it online and paid only about $20.00 FOR THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY! (Bulb, Fixture, and Shipping.) I TRUST Zoo Med. I know that with electrical components there is always the chance of getting defective units. BUT Zoo Med STOOD BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. These lamps create a warm spot that isn't too hot @ 15" (38.10 Cm) above the floor of the cage. (ALWAYS leave a section of the cage UNLIT by the heat lamp, so the animal can find a cooler spot, to prevent overheating.) This lamp can be used for reptiles, birds, Guineas, rabbits, and many other animals. It is perfect for nocturnal animals, as they are unable to see red light, therefor it will not disrupt their Circadian Rhythm. NOTE: This applies to the RUBY RED lamp, NOT the white infrared lamp.

These work well for 24 hour heat for my leopard gecko's terrarium. It is a small terrarium, 18"x18"x12"(h). Keeps it at around 90 degrees F when the light fixture sits on the top of the terrarium. At night, of course, casts everything in the terrarium with a red glow...but, hey, much cheaper than the local pet stores sell them for!

I have gotten this bulb twice now, once for a bearded dragon and once for an iguana. Both times the bulb was exactly what I expected and worked as intended. I've used them for a couple of months with no problems. I'll be getting all our animals' lights here from now on - it is cheaper and easier than going to the pet store.Update: I paid attention to the lifespan, and it lasted for 5 months, turned on continually (24 hours a day). That adds up to 3600 hours. That's as good as one can ask for.

I bought three of these over a year ago and the first one is still going strong. I live in Florida so I only use the heat lamp after feeding, but I'm still impressed. When I buy the ones at the pet store, they only last a few months.I have a California Kingsnake in a 2.5 ft high cage. I rest the heat lamp on the top screen off to one side. The heat seems to be the perfect amount and since I have him in the bedroom with me, I like that it's not super bright.

Burns out too quick or if jarred elements break. Animal loves the heat. Not to hot or too warm.

Had this thing on 24/7 for several week straight at a time raising baby chicks indoors last spring. It made it through two batches of chicks, so it was on for about 9 or 10 straight weeks total, and it hasn't burned out yet. So it works. Also, I like how this model does put out a little light compared to the ceramic infrared kind (which outputs heat only and zero light) because when raising chicks, you'll notice they like to be able to have a little light so they can see 24/7 in case they get hungry or thirsty in the middle of the night and need to find their way to the feeder. I switched to the ceramic infrared kind one day, and the chicks cried and cried that night for about an hour, so I switched the bulb back to this infrared incandescent one and they calmed back down.

I have a large tortoise table and I use different bulbs to control the climate. These bulbs do last for several months.

Facile à installer, chauffe dès qu'on l'allume.

The bulb didn't get as hot, it is only 75W but it does the job, my hands, elbows, feet hurts, just shine at it for 15 minutes, the pain is gone! At least it gives a warm feeling to make you feel better than an ice pack.Beware, it doesn't have the brightness as a regular 75W light bulb, doesn't mean that it don't hurt when you stare at it, if you want something to past your time, try to look away from the light with your books, mobile phone or whatever, it could hurt your eyes badly.

Apart from the shcokingly expensive price tag that comes with these types of bulb it does the job great and does last my tortoise a long time.

We received the merchandise in a timely manner. No worries about the shipping. We were given tracking info as soon as it was shipped and everything works great. I would definitely order again.
