AIICIOOT5 HO Reptile UVB Light - Desert UVA UVB 10.0 Fluorescent Lamp 22" Tube Lighting Desert Reptile UVB Lamp 24W for Turtles Chameleon Tortoises Lizard Bearded Dragon

Some people have commented on lack of brightness: Brightness is relative - this bulb is intended for a shallow reptile setup. UV rays are the main consideration, not brightness. These absolutely output good UV. I do not want to blind my lizard, the brightness from this bulb is exactly what I want. To properly measure the performance of the bulb, you would have to have a light meter - which none of us do. This seems to work as intended, based on the attitude and color of my gecko.Some have commented that this bulb only lasted a couple weeks: florescent bulbs have been in production long enough that the "quality" of the bulb is not something you should even consider. If you have bulbs failing prematurely you more than likely have an issue with your ballast (the fixture), or you have a power issue feeding the ballast. In 30 years I've never seen florescent light issues be traced back to fault bulbs, it's ALWAYS the ballast or power feed.Some people have commented on the bulb failing after 6 months or so: it's a UV bulb. it's supposed to be replaced every six months MAX. If your pet is your main concern, you should replace the bulb every 3 to 6 months - depending on your personal preference.Some have commented on receiving broken bulbs: You could tackle your delivery driver the next time you see him, but commenting here is pointless.Some have commented: "it works".I agree.This bulb has the best value for money, and it fits.

Item did work but burnt out in 5 days of use. Last bulb I purchased lasted for a couple years… not impressed with the quality.

As described

Bulb was broken upon arrival the box was not damaged but the bulb was damaged and that box was bent so it was packaged that way.

This bulb has already burnt out so I have to order a different bulb. I will not be ordering this brand again.
