I've had Micah for abooout 8 months now, and I've gone through probably just as many bulbs for his basking spot. I'd like to write it off as a bad brand except for the fact I've used at least 3 different brands so far. When I first set up his enclosure, before I even got Micah, I had a Zoo Med bulb last for about 3 days before it tapped out. Next bulb in that pack lasted maybe a month. After that I switched to some generic floodlights from Home Depot that were a brand I don't remember. I think those lasted the longest, but I still ended up going through a few of them, so still not great. My last one went out while I was visiting family and I had to do an emergency run. Got a pack of two comparable but different bulbs that also burnt out within a month. I took my fixture when I went to visit family, so that's the only thing I haven't accidentally experimented with to see if it's the problem. Different brands, different setups, different outlets. Still nothing long-lasting.
I have a Fluker's deep dome that's rated, as far as I know, for 150W bulbs, and anything I've put in there has only ranged from 90-120W. Is this probably a faulty fixture, or am I missing something with the setup here?
