 Great bulb, but u have to use it the right way.Mar 17, 2010
By Shawn Price
"kidmuathai"
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

 This is the 2010 new version, Very low UVB 100 WattsDec 23, 2010
By Vi Hung Tran
This is the 2010 new version 100w UVB lamp. I don't know why Zoo Med changed to very very low UVB output. I installed the lamp with Zoo Med Deep Dome, and used Solarmeter 6.2 UVB Meter to test the lamp. ZooMed PowerSun 100w with Deep Dome, 12" = UVB 35µW/cm², 5.5" = UVB 77µW/cm². ZooMed 10.0 UVB with Deep Dome 12" = UVB 37µW/cm². The ZooMed 10.0 UVB is higher then the ZooMed PowerSun 100w !!!
I suggest to not buy this 100w lamp.
I have already return this lamp, and change to used Mega-Ray SB 100w, Mega-Ray SB 100w with out deep dome in 12" = UVB 215 'W/cm2, in 29" = UVB 55 'W/cm2.

Always had good luck with theseDec 28, 2010
By Hoodoo Man
While I know many people that prefer the T-Rex bulbs, I have almost always used the PowerSun UV 100W for my Tortoises (2 juvenile CherryHeads and 1 adult Russian) and I have had great luck with them. I started using them because they were much easier to find locally where I used to live, and have continued due to the price and reliability. I have never had one of these burn out early. The T-Rex bulbs I have tried have almost always burned out well before the stated life of the bulb. Anyone keeping tortoises should know that unless they are getting a LOT of time outside a self-ballasted MVB is the ONLY lamp that will provide both heat and the necessary amount of UVB for vitamin D synthesis, so the only question is which brand to buy. I do not have a UV meter, so I hope the earlier reviewer's comment about ZooMed lowering the UVB output in the 2010 model is incorrect, because I have always found them to be the best brand on the market.

kind of pointlessJan 29, 2012
By Logan Zehr
so it turns out these bulbs shut off when they get to hot and then turn back on. Thats kind of pointless in a way because it seems like they keep shutting off and on. When the temp isn't really all that high. My turtle is like wtf? lol
