FAQs
How long do Powersun bulbs last?
While the bulb will continue to emit visible light for a long time, the essential UVB emissions degrade over usage. It is highly recommended to replace the bulb annually to ensure your reptile receives adequate UV levels.
What UVB light should I use for my bearded dragon?
The Zoo Med PowerSun 160 Watt bulb is an excellent choice for adult bearded dragons housed in large enclosures. It provides the high-intensity UVB and basking heat that desert species require to stay healthy.
Can you put a uvb bulb in a normal lamp?
No, this high-wattage mercury vapor bulb generates intense heat and must be used exclusively in a heavy-duty porcelain or ceramic socket fixture. Standard plastic sockets will melt and pose a fire hazard.
