Quality?
I was using the one put around 150 hours on it and it started to burn a hole out the side. I saw the actual heating element glowing. It started to smell. Then I got the other one out to use and it doesnt heat. The thermometer works for now. I got this item 1 month ago.

It’s good for a smaller tank or terrarium.
I think it works well. I just bought the wrong wattage. It would probably be good in a ten gallon glass terrarium, (always monitor temp to be sure)However my tortoise house is a lot bigger, the light holder area is farther up and it’s made of cedar so the heat dissipates. I’m not able to even maintain above 80 degrees with this lamp in the large and open enclosure. I am going to get the 150 watt and see if that gives my little tortoise a better temp in his house. The digital thermometer included with this purchase works well.

For the love of an aquatic turtle
I bought these two items for my aquatic turtle aquarium. I have the temperature control placed where it is easily readable when approaching the tank without bothering Tommy Boy if he happens to be sun bathing at the time. I have the ceramic lamp positioned right next to the day lamps and they are on a timer so I don’t have to reach over the tank to turn them on and off. This is my first aquatic turtle and I’m learning what makes him happy and keeps him healthy. I thought these items were reasonable priced.Update: Heat lamp still works great-no problem there. However, the digital thermometer that came with it stopped functioning correctly after only 5 months. It shows the water temp as continuously rising even though the water temp is steady at 75 degrees, as verified by two other thermometers. Not a deal breaker, just be aware that it is a good idea to have more than one thermometer to monitor the tank water.

Doesn't stay on
Not sure what's going on with the product I received as it maintain continuous heat. Screwed it in, flipped on power to the element, it heats up. Go check in an hour or so and there is no heat coming from the element. Cycle power and the element heats up again. There is nothing wrong with the lamp fixture. Judging this another waste of money product from the lowest cost bidder.

Perfect
The ceramic heat provides heat for the bearded dragon without the light at night and heats the hot side of the tank up during the day to 105 which is perfect for my baby bearded dragon. The thermometer included was a great addition so I can monitor the cold side of the tank as well.

Happy tortoise approved
Frank's previous ceramic bulb had a swiffer incident. Apparently a split second is all it takes for a room to smell like burnt plastic... Anyways, trauma in the past, he is now enjoying the warmth and comfort of his new ceramic bulb. So far it's working great and providing the adequate heat that he needs to sleep his regular 18hrs a day, eat for an hour, wreck havoc, and take a few naps in between. As far as owner feedback, this was a great deal for two bulbs! Now I have a handy extra in case one of my other bulbs goes out or someone else gets a bit too close with the swiffer. The extra thermometer is a nice touch too. It's nice to have backups.

Really Does The Trick
My daughter got herself a Leopard Gecko, and after much research decided an Under Tank Heater is the way to go in her ten gallo tank. And like a good pet owner she measured the temperature carefully. The UTH was not enough. Perhaps because of the aquarium type tank, or sub par UTH, not sure. So she supplemented with an adjustable heat lamp and was excited to get the bulbs as a pair. It has hit target temperatures for weeks now, shows no sign of stopping, and we have a back up.

Works perfectly as specified
The units worked as advertised. I had never used ceramic heaters before and wasn't sure if they would run hotter than incandescent heat lamps since part of the energy doesn't produce visible visible light like the incandescent bulbs. There doesn't seem to be any significant difference. You can just treat the wattage's as equivalent. The surface area does matter. Consider the watts per square inch when substituting for incandescent bulbs.

Un des deux ne fonctionne pas.
Un des deux radians ne fonctionne pas et je n'ai pas le temps de les retourner j'en ai besoin et la livraison a été lente.

Distance is key
We are using this for a turtle in aquarium and it works well and is consistent so far. As long as water level is close enough to heater.
