Hi all!
So I just had to purchase another basking bulb today after my old one burnt out this morning. We use the Zoo Med 100 watt basking bulbs and our temps are good at 110-112 degrees on Dinraal's basking spot.
My concern is this; we had that bulb for 54 days until it burnt out, and we have it on 12 hours a day from 7-7. That only gave us 648 hours of basking heat even though the boxes always say good for 2,000 hours of heat. Has anyone else had this issue with this brand of bulb? Is there something we could be doing wrong that's causing the bulb to burn out faster than it should?
