Does not last
Date: June 25, 2008
"Unfortunately I didn't check the reviews here before I bought this bulb. The center spot is very small as previously mentioned, which results in a very hot spot at that point, with little to no heating a few inches away. I use a temperature gun to check at various points and found that this did not really cover a basking area properly. Worst of all, it burned out in less than three days of 12 hour/day use. The bulb is guaranteed to last a year or 3,000 hours, but you have to pack it up and pay for shipping to send it back. No thanks - I'll go with another brand."

dissapointed
Date: November 17, 2007
"It has un ungodly little hotspot in the center, which i'm sure isn't good. Right? Shouldn't it light and heat evenly? Did I get a "bad one"? I shined it on the wall accross my room, it looked like an old cheap flashlight with the lil bright spot in the center. I shined it/held it as far away from my hand as my 55 gal tank height, and in 30 seconds I reeeeally didn't like holding my hand there anymore. So I shined it on the thermometer at the highest sensor, marked 105*, it lit it up! 'Course, it was a 150w vs. 75, but the point being; from that far away I could still aim it at each individual sensor number. I didn't dare try it directly on my python, I didn't want to blind him! Basically a reptilian laser gun. To be safe, I'd have to hang it from the ceiling and use an extension cord, but Ball Pythons in a really cool, natural looking habitat aren't tacky. Extension cords hanging down a livingroom wall are. Ok, I'll stop."

piece of junk
Date: January 5, 2007
"the bulb looks really nice and fancy but when i put it over my anoles it wouldn't work so i tried another dome light and still, no light. it will usually light up for about 15~20 seconds when i first turn it on then it will go out for awhile and then it might turn back on for a few seconds. if you want a basking light just go to a hardware store and get a normal halogen bulb, it'll be alot cheaper and the ones that are supposed to look like natural daylight aren't half bad for appearances then just rely on a UV fluoresent tube(fluoresent tubes put out UVA and UVB, incandesents and halogens "UV" bulbs only put out UVA and reptiles need UVB for calcium absorbtion)"

Daylight Blue Reptile Bulb

"Bulb had to be replaced after 2 months. Petco sales personnel said there was no guarantee. The bulb is advertised as "European quality for longer life"; however, this bulb lasted for only 60 days."

One Year Life Guarantee?

"When i first bought a Zoo Med Halogen Bulb, it was defective and would not turn on. I then replaced the bulb for a new Halogen Lightbulb only to have it burn out on me within three months of operation."

"I purchased one bulb that only lasted for 2 months, not the year it promises. I bought a replacement, though because the light makes my water dragon look so much nicer than traditional lighting. I am hoping the replacement bulb will last longer."

Nice Bulb!
Date: December 11, 2005
"This bulb has worked very well in heating my geckos terrarium. I've bought three of them so far and each of them has lasted one year, if used for about 12 hours a day, as the company claims. It definitely beats buying bulbs every 2 months. "
