Rating Snapshot
Review this Product
Customers say
Customers praise the bulb for its powerful full-spectrum UVA and UVB output, reporting dramatic improvements in reptile activity, basking behavior, and skin coloration. Many credit it with reversing metabolic bone disease and eliminating the need for separate fixtures. However, a significant portion report premature failures within days or weeks despite careful use, with some going through multiple bulbs in succession. The high cost amplifies frustration over durability concerns. Some note excessive heat requiring careful fixture setup. Overall, most customers value the health benefits but express serious concerns about reliability and longevity.

What is the UV% by distance? I need to know how much UV it puts off at 7” or 12”. The regular UV lights tell you a percentage but I can’t find this anywhere on here.
- This is a highput distance should be 13 inches from beardies back on his basking spot
