 Best light period.Jul 04, 2010
I have used these for years with my dragons and this is the best light on the market. Get the deep dome and the Zoo-Med light holder and your set for a perfect rig. I always buy them here since Pet Co locally sells them for 80 bucks!
 burnt out in 1 dayJun 13, 2010
I purchased the powersun bulb because the trex 100 watt wasn't available. I planned to use this for a tortoise hatchling enclosure. I recieved the bulb on a thursday. Got the lamp (zoo med mini combo dome) on friday, and tested it out. it came on immediately, and was really bright. It didn't change hue as it warmed up as they say it will. I also made sure i didn't move it while it was on, it was hanging down directly over the cage. At 19" from substrate I was getting 85 degrees in an degree room. at 15 inches 90 degrees and at 13 inches 95 degrees. I left the bulb on for a total of one hour that day checking the temperatures under the basking spot depending on the temperature of the room. (at one point the room was 89 degrees, but the basking spot only went up to 97.
Anyway I turned it off friday afternoon, and when i tried to turn it on saturday it wouldn't come on. the room wasn't hot, and the bulb hadn't been used in a long time. i waited and left it on for 3 hours still no light or heat. then i heard a loud buzzing so i turned it off. tried to turn it on this morning (sunday), and it won't turn on again. it hasn't overheated, and the bulb didn't look to be deformed in any way. I have a constant stream of energy to the socket and all the other bulbs work fine. i have contacted the manufacturer and the company I bought it from, i'm still waiting to hear back. I didn't purchase it from amazon, I just thought this info would be helpful to anyone who is looking to buy a powersun bulb.
barely gave off heat!!Apr 23, 2010
I couldnt get a TRex 100W flood so i thought i'd give this bulb a chance and i was totally not satisfied. Only 13" from my tortoise, the Zoo Med bulb was only giving off 75 degrees of heat.
Within 2 weeks i had replaced it with the TRex which gives off 95 degrees of heat at the same distance and has a longer output of UVB.

Great bulb, but u have to use it the right way.Mar 17, 2010
I have used these bulbs in a number of reptile cages for a few years. they always last over 8 months. except one one occasion where i had a short in a cage power supply. alot of pppl have premature burn outs. this could be from a few factors, poor power supply to the cage, too hot of an area, or wrong fixture. u cant screw it into any fixture and hope it works. u need a good strong stable current, and u CANNOT USE A RHEOSTAT!
i personally ove the bulbs, they have always done great. ad the act as both a UVB source and heat source.
i use them in 2 bearded dragon cages, a frilled dragon cage, and a enclosure for my 2 Argentine B&W Tegu's

 Burned up in a weekMar 10, 2010
I decided to give this bulb a chance, even though it has mixed reviews due to its questionably short life. This thing burned up within a week. Another bulb, not exactly sure what brand it is, has been working for the passed six months. I'm definitely not buying another one of these things.
