Intense 100W UVA Spotlight Heat Lamp Bulbs for Reptile Basking and Terrariums - Ideal for Desert-Dwelling Reptiles Like Bearded Dragons, Geckos, Iguanas, Lizards, Amphibians (Pack of 2)

I originally bought these ceramic heat emitters for my baby chicks as a safer alternative to a heat lamp. I have them in 3 different wattages, and used them in a ceramic clamp on fixture. Since they don't draw wattage like a space heater I'm currently using them as a safe heat source to keep pipes from freezing in my rarely used guest cabin, well house, and as a heat source for the citrus trees in my greenhouse. In the past I used regular light bulbs under a clay pot, so I already had the set up for heaters. They've been perfect for my needs.

The light arrived on time and last a long time

Keeps my baby dragon warm

The first bulb is already shot, we are on the second one now

Petsmart wanted $34.00 for one or these. These are fabulous and last a very long time. I’ve had my current one on 24hrs a day for 9 months.

These are working good for my turtles during the winter. It puts out enough heat for them to get as warm as they want to unlike heat rocks or comparably powered bulbs. If they last a lot longer than bulbs they're a no brainer.

In my pre-installation testing of my 60w ceramic heater, I discovered that the heater will get HOT, over 400F.But the heat is of the ceramic heater itself.With my hand 6 inches from the heater, I felt almost NO heat. What is going on????I had to put my hand 2 inches from the heater to feel much heat, and less than 1 inch to get any significant warmth on my hand.The ceramic heater is heating the AIR, it is not radiating the heat like a heat lamp.If you are using it inside an enclosure, like a glass fish tank for your reptiles, it may work.The glass tank holding in the warmed air.But not for a bird cage, which is open all around, with nothing containing the warmed air.Well maybe if you use a 150w ceramic heater instead of a 60w heater, it may generate enough local heat. But you are then using almost 3x the power to run it.This works very different than using an incandescent lamp for heat. Where you can feel the heat from the light hitting your hand. This you CAN use in a bird cage. And you don't need to use a 150w bulb.

It performs exactly how you would expect. Good lamp light for reptiles

I modified a metal tool box to accept a ceramic light socket. I am using the heat bulbs and modified tool box as a welding rod oven. Works great keeps the rods dry and serviceable and did not cost me the $1,500.00 or more for a conventional welding rod oven.
