There ok kinda weak for a large enclosure but perfect for a 10 gallon tank with the 20" fixture all day. Could probably get away with it over a 20g but thats where it stops
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought these to be used for my bearded dragons 40 gallon tank with the Zilla Sol Compact Halogen fixture. They work great! Would recommend these lights and the fixture as well. It looks much nicer than the bulky domes. The fixture is a bit spendy but the lights cost less.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Will this also work as a plant light since I have live plants in my terrarium?
- This light will work with plants but I wouldn't recommend issuing for bearded dragons the uv isn't strong enough

We have a albino fancy leopard gecko, will this work for his 20G tank? What fixture does it work with?
can I use this for a pacman frog? if not, what would you suggest?
- Yes, you sure can. We did. Be prepared to buy more though. They don’t last long.

I have 7 month old dragon in 1 40 gallon and a 4 month old in another 40 both dragons are about same size. I have a 20 inch strip light on both what watt and color lamps do you think the white or blue And could I use 2 florescent the room stays warm al
- I wonder because I heat room for tarantula's anyway could I just use a white or blue bulb and maybe 2 florescent bulbs on each side. It'd gets very hot with 50 watt so stepped down to 25 watt. I cut everything off at night then back on in day. Any recommendations on a 40 gallon

I have a 40 gallon with 3 smaller bearded dragons in it. I have a 20 inch zilla strip light with 1 of the florescent bulb 2 50w blue bulbs and 2 25 white bulbs they seem to do well but the white light put off to much heat so I had to cut 1 off is this ok
- Hi there! As long as there is a sufficient source of heat and UVB, this should be fine.

Would this be okay for a corn snake? I plan to get the mini heat & uv fixture. I just don't know if I need the desert or tropical version. Thank you.
- Hey there! Using a Zilla Mini Heat & UVB Fixture with a Zilla 50W Mini Halogen bulb and a Zilla Tropical Mini Compact Fluorescent UVB Bulb will provide the correct heat and UV for your Corn Snake to thrive.

Would it be ok to use on a 20 gallon long tank for a red eared slider turtle?
- Hi there! Red Eared Sliders, like many available aquatic turtles found in pet stores, get large and need a lot of room to swim. Reaching upwards of 12", and being very powerful swimmers, causes them to need a very large water source to swim in. For turtles up to 6", a 40BR Aquarium will work, but you'd still want to provide a larger aquarium if possible. By the time they are 10", they should be in something no smaller than a 125 gallon aquarium, and again larger if you're able. Since they eat in their water and go to the bathroom in their water, the quality of the water is a very important. A very large filter is needed. We suggest a minimum size filter that's made to filter 2 times the volume of your aquarium. So if you have a 40 gallon aquarium, you'll want a filter made for at least 80-100 gallons of water.

I don’t think my bearded dis getting enough UVB / UVA. The last 2-3 days she has been real lethargic & her color is dark. Would this be strong enough for a 55 gallon tank? Would I need 2 for that size tank? Thanks for your help.
- I had one in a 20 gal tank for our turtle. It was very bright. I’d start with one, you can always add a second if you feel necessary.

Is this a good light to get for a Mediterranean house gecko?
- Yes, but they also need heat. We would suggest a 25w blue mini halogen in a dual low profile fixture with the UVB. The UVB will be very beneficial!

Will two of these and a day heat bulb provide enough heat and uvb for a baby bearded dragon in a 20 gallon long tank? I would also buy a night time mini halogen bulb. I want to make sure she has enough uvb to prevent MBD.
- Hi there! Yes, two of them should be plenty. For the best heating and lighting, we'd suggest a 20” Pro Sol with a 50W White, 25W Red, and 2 Desert UVBs. Additionally, a 25W white in a Mini Dome for a concentrated basking spot would be appreciated by the bearded dragon too.That setup will also work for them in their future larger enclosure and only need to up to a 50W in the mini dome and 50W red for night. This setup will give them full coverage UVB, a good heat gradient, and a perfect concentrated basking spot. We hope you find this information useful!
