*Honest Review of the Hypool T8 Light*I'm thrilled to share my experience with the Hypool T8 light, which has exceeded my expectations. As a reptile owner, I was primarily drawn to this light because of its adequate UVB provision and affordable price point compared to bigger brands.*Initial Impressions*Upon receiving the light, I noticed it's lightweight and easy to hang, making it a convenient addition to our reptile enclosure. The light provides the right amount of UVB lighting, which is essential for our pets' health and well-being.*Addressing Common Complaints*I've seen some reviews mentioning that the light feels cheaply made or arrives scratched. I'd like to offer a different perspective – as someone who didn't want to spend a fortune on a bigger brand, I was willing to compromise on the build quality. However, I've been pleasantly surprised by the light's performance.*Important Installation Tip*One crucial thing to note is that when installing the bulb, you need to twist it a bit harder to get it to snap in. The first snap might not be enough; you'll feel it snap again when it's fully secured. This might be the reason why some users have reported that the light doesn't work.*Proper Installation and Usage*I've also noticed that some users are installing the light incorrectly. To get the most out of the Hypool T8 light, it's essential to follow proper installation and usage guidelines. Specifically:- Place the UVA/heat lamp and the UVB light on the same side of the cage.- Position a daylight lamp on the opposite side of the cage.- Ensure the UVB light only covers about half of the cage.- Mount the UVB light lower than the heat lamp.*Conclusion*In conclusion, I'm extremely satisfied with the Hypool T8 light. It provides the necessary UVB lighting for our reptiles, and its affordable price point makes it an excellent value for the money. I would 100% purchase this light again, and I highly recommend it to fellow reptile owners. Just remember to follow the proper installation and usage guidelines to get the most out of this excellent product!

Works great! Needed a better uvb for my gecko but didn't want to spend a ton of money. This was the perfect solution!

Very cheap and low quality the first one came in broken , as did the second one but I can get it to work if I get the bulb to stay just right. Not a bad size but it's a weird shape tho so the light bulb sticks out a bit and give it a weird appearance . Not as bright either . I really wanted to like it but sadly just to many down points , but I will say it does work as a temporary solution and it doesn't get crazy hot like other lights I've used .

I tried to get ahold of the seller, couldn't find anything, one light didn't work and I didn't get the hardware to hook the light up in my reptile cage, so I am disappointed, I rather have talked to them

I bought 2 of these. Great heat and brightness. Best value. I’ll buy again if I need more

I really want to give this 5 stars. Because 1. Value for the price 2. You can find the replacement bulbs easily ! (Big plus) the reason I take one star away is because the bulb can be. Little loose and I often find myself wiggling the bulb because it will randomly turn off and once I wiggle it it turns back on. This has been happening to one of the lamps. Not the other. The one suspended is the one that gets loose. Not the one sitting at the top of the enclosure.

Very simple fixture for what it needs to do, compact and easy to install.

I bought these multiple times and they last quite a while but they do eventually burn out and it's nice to have a two pack so you always have a spare
