Instructions: PowerSun lamps have a large effective range, depending on the wattage of your bulb. Within this range are four zones of increasing UV intensity. These zones are described below and will help you determine the correct basking distance for your reptile(s). Determine the wattage of your lamp and select the appropriate distance based on the recommendations below. Please note that every bulb varies slightly in output due to factors such as age, electrical supply, and external temperatures. These distances are recommended based on average UV output.
Caution: PowerSun UVB lamps emit UV radiation and must be used in accordance with these instructions. Just as you would not stare into the sun, do not stare into this lamp! This lamp must be placed directly overhead of your reptiles, and not to the side which would force them to stare into this lamp! Carefully follow these instructions and be sure the lamp is a safe distance from your reptiles. Failure to use the lamp according to these instructions may result in personal injury or may cause injury to your animals.

I never know how long a bulb will last…a day, a week, a month, this time 2 months. I’m still looking for a different brand that is reliable!!

I bought this bulb & it didn’t even last 3 mos.I turned it off in the evening even so that says it even lasted less time.I really want to write the company & let them know what I experienced with their product. I wouldn’t recommend this bulb & they definitely aren’t cheap.

Great lights, come with a full years warranty
You should be changing them before the years up. But it’s nice to have.

So annoyed with this brand: I just bought one 3 days ago, and it already burnt out. I’ve heard others saying it’s happened to them, but thought every business can have a dud. Apparently they are MOSTLY duds with this company. Don’t waste your money.

I bought 2 of these in June because they were a good price. I didn’t need them until this month, and neither of them work.

I’ve been buying this bulb for almost 10 years. I have it to last almost a year on average. It’s important to set it up per the directions i.e not at any kind of angle for longevity. This is my favorite uva/uvb light on the market!

I use this bulb exclusively as it does uva uvb light and heat all in one for my tortoise. It is expensive but for all that in one vs multiple bulbs it’s actually reasonable. I found that once I got the lamp stand where the bulb is off of the screen a few inches it lasts 6mos to a year. You don’t want to move it when it’s hot. Once I figured all that out it has been very reliable.

I have a So. Painted Turtle with the dome and Powersun, on an adjustable height hanger, fastened to the side of the 40 gallon glass breeder tank, with 35 gallons of water. Always check the basking dock temp with a laser thermometer and adjust height allowing for the height of your turtle. Check every day as ambient room temp changes. With my aquatic turtle, the bulb is on a timer and comes on at 630a and shuts off at 630p. If you turn off your Sunpower, you have to wait for a cool down period before it will come back on. I replace my bulb every 12 months.
