What flood lights don't burn up in a few months or less?

I'm looking for my next basking bulbs and I'm struggling to find ones with good reviews. This is one with just three reviews that I was considering for my 75 gallon

My other set up is a 40 gallon and I looked at the same brand and bulb, just down to a 75 watt, but it has horrible reviews of the bulbs blowing fast.

I use regular halogen bulbs from the dollar store. Usually 2 in a pack, sometimes 3, for only $1.

I just use regular 75W outdoor floods in a lamp with a dimmer switch for mine. Those pet store basking bulbs are junk IMO.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
