Review: Review - Excellent quality, functions as needed, good quality, no flickering, good length, generates heat well.
Review: Useful UVB - These lights, called "UVB" are to give our turtles the benefits of sunlight or vitamin D because they do not get it in captivity unless out in the sun at least 20 minutes a day. Mine is outside with sun if he chooses to go in it so I don't rely on him going under it every day on te platform but during the winter, even here in Florida he needs this light when he can't go outside. The other light is a heat lamp, called "UVA". It is a 45 watt incandescent sattco from desertcart which gives turtle 90 degrees heat at 13". Some people (I was) are using 75 watt which at 13" gives 130 degrees!!. I found that out after my turtle didn't bask for 2 years and I bought a berrcom handheld thermometer on desertcart and was shocked to discover that. Good thing my turtle was smart enough to avoid the platform during that time.Now he goes under both to get healthy. Set the berrcom to "surface temperature. Also good to check the water temperature even if you have a heater. Or in a feeding container as it should be a little warm. Most administrators on FB turtle groups are recommending 65 to 75 watt bulbs. I ask them how to put it on the ceiling! I have a 6" Eastern Painted turtle. But the recommendations for all the species are 90 degrees for the UVA on the platform. I have mixed in the sattco review because so important.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these lights good for turtles?**
A: This light is great for turtles just make sure they are directly above basking area and not on an angle! The 10.0 is recommended for aquatic turtles as 5.0 is not strong enough. I know that this question was asked awhile ago but I don’t like seeing false information being given to people.

**Q: Could I use this for a basking spot if it is right next to a radiant heat panel(using the bulb for the light and the radiant panel for the heat)?**
A: The UVB light is actually best to use over the basking spot so the turtles can absorb the light.  I have mine placed on top of the screen about 10 inches from the basking platform.  You can use it with a radiant panel nearby.  The temp of the basking place should be about 85 -90 F, and you should have a thermometer in place to monitor the temperature. If your radiant panel does not provide enough heat, then you will need a regular household light bulb to add more heat.

**Q: Would this fit in a Zilla premium 8.5" reflector dome for my baby bearded dragon?**
A: I believe the total length of the bulb is approximately 6" or less.

**Q: I'm looking into this for a crested gecko living terrarium, will this give the plants enough light without putting off too much unwanted heat?**
A: I use it in my tank as well I can put my hand almost onto it and it's not hot this doesn't put off that much heat. If any.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gets the job done
*by S***H on September 16, 2019*

I have been caring for and breeding bearded dragons for over 20 years, and I have rarely used a UV light, and my dragons have always been healthy, active, and lived a long life. I am not sure the UV bulb makes as much of a difference as everyone says it does. But as a trained biologist and herpetologist I do understand the physiology behind the need for UV light so I have started using them. This was the first brand of UV bulb I have used and it seems to work well and is at a great price point. All of the bulbs I have used have lasted at least a year. They would probably last longer but overtime the UV output is diminished so I replace the bulbs after 12 months of use even if they are still working.
