DESCRIPTION
The Thrive 13 Watt Tropical 5.0 UVB Bulb provides essential UVB, UVA, and visible light for tropical reptiles. Reptiles need UVA and UVB to thrive in their environment, and this light helps maintain reptile vision and benefits overall health. In addition, UVA bulbs help to provide the radiant heat your ectothermic pet requires. It also promotes calcium absorption and healthy bones, and spurs production of vitamin D, just like sunlight (but without radiant heat). Your reptile is one of a kind, and with Thrive products, so is the world you create for it. Only at PetSmart.
Features:
Includes: (1) 13 Watt Lamp
Intended Pet(s): Tropical Reptiles
Color: White
Capacity: 13 Watt
Directions:
Gently fasten the light bulb into a UL or ETL approved incandescent fixture. Do not plug the light fixture into an electrical socket until the bulb is fastened firmly to the fixture. Place the light fixture outside the habitat. Never place the light fixture inside the habitat, as a hot light bulb can harm your pet.
Advice for use:
It is recommended to replace your light bulb every 6-8 months. Use this bulb with a Thrive lamp fixture.
Warning:
Bulb will get hot while in use. Bulb emits ultraviolet radiation.

Bought a second one for my bearded dragon after the first one burned out less then a month later and it still burned out 3 days later.. didn’t even just burn out but started to make the whole room smell like smoke and when I took it out it had burn marks on it. Invest your money into a better light bulb that won’t smoke up or burn out within a week.

Average quality. I dont mind the 5.0 for my leopard gecko, but prefer the Arcadia 7%. Not strong enough for turtles or tortoises, but still a good gecko option

I bought this vita light and it works just as well as similar bulbs costing significantly more. I am quite pleased himwith it.

The bulb itself is fine and provides the UVB my turtle needs to remain healthy. However, it is such a harsh, cold light compared to the all-in-one mercury vapor bulb I used previously. Perhaps if my light fixture was deeper I wouldn’t notice this quite as much.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the thrive tropical 5.0 uvb bulb for my chameleon. I go through bulbs quickly so this is a great inexpensive bulb.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am now a big fan of Thrive. I didn’t know there were reptile lightbulbs for such a good price. Normally I am paying $100 for a 150 watt bulb. This so so so much more affordable. I highly recommend!

When I initially plugged this bulb in, the light level was super low, like it barely added light. I figured it was just a different brand, but now the bulb won’t even turn on and it’s only been a couple of months. I would never recommend this bulb because they lack QOS…. I seriously want a refund!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good product if you have tropical animals. It is good for chameleons. This is a good lightbulb overall. I hope other people didn’t have any problems with theirs.

Died after 1 month of use. I use it daily 7am-6pm and after a month, it died. Should’ve put my money into a better light…

In less than 24 hours, the bulb burned out while inwas in the room. It started making some crackling noises, went off, and smoke came out of the bulb, filling the room with a horrible electrical burning smell. I had to open a window (in winter) and spray air freshener. I have purchased UVA bulbs from thrive brand but this was my first UVB. I will use zoo med or reptisun next time.
