Tutorial : exposure lock trick got to www.youtube.com Shot inside the Bird Kingdom main aviary in Niagara Falls Canada. Main aviary source of light comes from outside through the glass ceiling. This particular day was cloudy and rainy. Good opportunity to test out the performance of the Canon hv40 in low lighting conditions. Used the exposure lock trick (photo button trick) to avoid the grainy look caused by the camera’s automatic gain control. Camcorder setting was set on full HD.

This lamp provides warmth, bright light, and UVA/UVB for your reptile,
Bearded dragons and other similar hot-climate reptiles require lots of light, heat, and UVA/UVB rays. UVB in particular is important to your reptile’s health. Many lamps provide generous amounts of UVA, which is also important, but not much UVB. I have noticed that my beardie, Rex, is more active and alert, and has a better appetite, when he is getting lots of UVB.
This lamp’s specifications indicate that it is designed to provide lots of UVB, which makes it an excellent choice for one’s reptile. Self-ballasted bulbs of this type are notorious for sometimes burning out after only a month or two. I will update this review later to indicate the longevity of this lamp. It does appear to be providing Rex with the warmth, light, and rays that he deserves. So far, recommended. RJB.

|only wish they lasted longer,
I started using the Exo-Terra Solar Glo bulbs for my Uromastyx lizards back in 2008. They had just started becoming available in my local pet stores, and of course, I liked the concept of using one bulb instead of 2 (one for UV lighting and another for heating). As far as the results, the bulbs is great. I do recommend it for heating larger enclosures for reptiles that require a lot of heat and UV radiation.
My only major complaint is that these bulbs (as well as the 125 watt counterpart) rarely last as long as they’re intended to. I have probably purchases/replaced at least 6 bulbs since 2008. I’m lucky if I can get 3-4 months out of a product that should last twice as long. Luckily, I keep my receipts and I can usually exchange the dud for a new one easily. Still an inconvenience, but it’s usually a quicker fix than trying to return a bulb online and wait for the replacement. I have talked with other reptile hobbyists who have used the bulbs, and I’m not the only one who runs into this issue.
One thing I would like to point out is that these bulbs are intended to be fixated and directed straight down. If the lamp fixture is positioned at an angle, this will affect the bulb’s lifespan.
Overall, mercury vapor bulbs in general are definitely superior to the traditional florescent UV bulbs for reptiles. Just make sure you are using a high-range thermometer in tandem to achieve the proper basking temperatures for the particular species of reptile(s) you are using this bulb with.
