I don't get all these mediocre and negative reviews I'm seeing. I've had a green iguana for going on 16 years now and as he grew I came to begin using this more powerful bulb. I've been using these for at least 12 years and only once was there an issue which Zoo Med handled immediately and while I've always had other backups, albeit less powerful, after that I kept a 2nd Powersun on hand except for the short time between the year being up (UV rays last) and the time it takes for a new one to arrive in the mail. Occasionally the light will go off per the built in overheat protection (this might be in the fixture) but it's very reliable, my iguana has never had any digestive issues or metabolic bone disease and until recently he kept good skin coloration but that has nothing to do with the light, he's just older now so getting some grayness but only around the face and neck.

these work great for my very large reptile tanks. They keep the temperature appropriate from a significant distance and they last a very long time.

This is a great price for this product. Works perfectly! Keeps my bearded dragon alive and well. Lasts longer than 6 months, but I change out after 6 months to make sure lamp and light are at peak performance at all times.

Nice lamp..not eternal, however.My UVB and UVA tests were positively high. Heats up pretty well. My bearded dragon loves to bask under this lamp specifically (I have 3 more heating spots and 2 cooler spots).Fun fact: my cellphone camera keeps changing colors when pointed at this lamp...interesting!!

These are pricey but the most effective product I’ve found yet for our beardie’s habitat. Keeps it up to temp and gives him proper levels of heat and UVB that are essential for his health. A lot of cheaper bulbs do not, to the animals detriment. As with any uvb bulb, the vet suggested that it be replaced every 4-6 months even if it still lights up, as the amount of uvb it produces decreases over time. We’ll continue to invest the money in this cause it’s so important for his health.

I have been using these lights (mostly 100 watt) for about 7-years and highly recommend them. This is I think, only the second time to use the 160 watt ( two of them). My red ear slider turtles are living in large (150-gallon) open top, stock tanks. This is only anecdotal evidence of the effectiveness of these lights but worth mentioning. Since using theses lights, the ‘great shed’ is a thing of the past. The great shed used to happen the first two times I took the turtles outdoors to get natural, springtime sunlight where they would shed virtually all of their carapace scutes. Now that is a thing of the past. My turtles are 32 and 20 years old. These are great lights.

This light worked great initially. FYI if you move the lamp the bulb will shut off for about 15 minutes and turn itself back on. That was no problem. My issue is that after a week or so, the bulb just started turning itself off for no apparent reason. It’s on and off all day today so it’s going back. Way too expensive for this. My beardie just sits in the dark looking up wondering where the light went. Maybe it gets too hot and is a safety feature? Too strong of a light? Or POS light like the other 1 star reviews claim?

I've used a couple different UVB bulbs during my life as a reptile owner, and the Powersun is one of the better ones (the best being the Mega Ray when it worked correctly, but after a couple years of poor customer service and bad products I'm not sure if I trust them anymore).The Powersun seems to put off an adequate amount of heat and UVB, and my tortoises enjoy basking underneath it. Be sure to buy it from a reputable dealer, because the best thing about the Powersun is that it carries a year warranty from ZooMed. I've only had to use the warranty once, but it's great to know that a company will stand behind its product for a whole year.

The quality has really changed in this product since purchased last a year ago. They are now made in China instead of Japan, but price is still the same. Still works and does the job I need for my turtles basking platform .
