Product Description

With only 6 watts of power consumption, this lamp is extremely energy efficient.

Designed to work with all Zilla Mini Halogen horizontal fixtures.

Because of its small size, it can be used in low-profile fixtures.

At 12", the UVB output is 5-10 microwatts, simulating a tropical rainforest.

Questions & Answers

Is there any heat produced by this?

This is not the kind of light you want to use to generate heat.

What is the size of this?

It measures approximately 4 inches in length. It is only compatible with the combination light fixture.

Is it possible that this is a UVB 5? Which bulb should I use, a 0 or a 10?

This is approximately the same as the 5. 0 bulbs. Tropical is a number of five. 10 is the number 0 in the desert.

Will this work in the halogen mini dome from zilla?

I'm not sure if it will fit the dome one; I used it with a ZIlla mini heat uvb lamp, but it has the same socket as a halogen bulb; double-check with the manufacturer to be sure.

After only a few weeks, I stopped working

3/5

This was purchased to give my eurydactylodes agricolae some UV. The light is housed in a Zilla Fxtr Low Profile Dual G9 fixture with a tiny blue daylight 25W halogen bulb, and the fixture is set to a day/night cycle timer. It wasn't until late March or early April that I began to use it. This bulb is now dead, as I discovered today. The halogen light bulb continues to function. I had hoped for a bulb that would last longer than a month. Very let down.

They do what they're supposed to do

5/5

I've never used these lights before, but I bought them along with the mini halogens for a reptile light fixture. Our bearded dragon went through the most massive molt I've ever witnessed. So I'm guessing they're fantastic. He's most likely in a much better mood now.

For anole, there isn't enough UV

3/5

This was purchased for my green anole in a 10 gallon tank; however, the amount of UV it emits is insufficient for the anole's needs. Even when it was basking directly under the bulb, it stopped eating and turned dark brown. After I made the decision to spend the money, I purchased a Reptisun 10 with a 5. Now that I've removed the bulb, my anole is eating again and appears to be much more active.

There are only 30 days left

3/5

Three bulbs were purchased by me. One has decided to stop working today. It worked for 30 days in a row. I am sad. There are only 30 days left:.

The lighting is excellent

5/5

It appears to have a good light output. It's turned on, as is a 50-watt daytime blue light.

The light bulb is very small

4/5

I'd only use this for animals that require a small amount of UV, such as frogs, nocturnal geckos, and salamanders, in a 10 gallon enclosure. My Leopard Gecko, on the other hand, appears to be content.
