Fluker's Sun Dome Reptile Lamp, Deep Dome Flush Mount Light Fixture, 8.5-Inches

for a fluker's product I was pleasantly surprised it works and the ceramic didn't crack or the wire melt.

I purchased one of these for a heat bulb only in the hopes of getting the UVB hood before getting my beardie. As things go I found a beardie first and fell in love with him so I was in need of a UVB bulb immediately. So this is my second dome of this brand and I have to say it is extremely sturdy and I love how deep it is. The bulbs fit nicely and fully inside to keep the heat and light pointed in the direction I choose. The on off switch is easy to reach and use no matter where it is placed. At this point I swap my heat only dome at night with my heat and UVB dome during the day and my beardie couldn't be more happy and comfortable.

Have purchased this many times and the product does an excellent job of "hiding the bulb" and is very well made and durable. Have never had one fail. Excellent product. Will continue to purchase as needed.

Bulbs must be screwed in extremely tight, otherwise the light will flicker or not work. This can be hard to due and has resulted in a few bulbs breaking. I've had this problem with both of the sun domes I've ordered. But once set up, it works very well.

Bought my second one a little over 2 yrs later for my adult red eared sliders. 2 yrs ago I upgraded their space to a 90 gallon and made them a basking area made out of white egg crate (Home Depot). They needed a light sufficient enough for their needs. It helps almost immediately with the younger ones shell, that pealed like normal but started to not shed the scutes. They started to turn a different color as they really just didn't seem to want to come completely off. My turtles never had soft spots in their shell and this situation with the younger one made me think they needed a better light to help with the vitamins they needed as they eat a heathy diet. This works well and lasts long for the money. I know when it is time to replace when the heat starts to die. A little over 2 yrs respectfully. I will never use another bulb, not even if i get lizards.

Good solid construction. This was great to use with the large bulb I have. So many didn’t fit the bulb. Great to use in my terrarium and the base stays cool.It does not extremely hot to the touch like many are.Make sure to read the guidelines on how far away the lamp (in inches) should be to your reptiles. You don’t want it too close depending on the bulb. Keep them safe.

I’m sure good but I prefer the mini domes.

Bought two of the Fluker's Sun Dome Reptile Lamps, used them with Pecute Heater Lamp Ceramic Heat Emitter 100W 110V Heater Lamp Bulb and GrayBunny GB-6812 Metal Tree Branch Hook to keep humming bird feeder from freezing in winter, and to heat a corner of my deck by my patio window for a feral kitty who will not go into an enclosed space. Hung them under an overhang on my deck to protect from moisture, as they are probably not really designed for outdoor use, but under the overhang have done well for weeks with no short circuits.For the kitty bed, also bought the ASPCA Microtech Striped Dog Bed Cuddler, 28 by 20 by 8-Inch and insert into it the K&H Manufacturing Extreme Weather Heated Kitty Pad 12.5-Inch by 18.5-Inch (fits inside PERFECTLY, by the way). I have the lamp positioned about 18" over the pet bed with the heated pad in it, which is right up against my patio window, and this set up keeps the ambient air temp in this space about 30 degrees warmer. When it is below freezing, the temperature in his spot is 50 - 60 degrees; and even when we had overnight temps in the teens, it was over 45 degrees in his spot.
