What’s the best heat light? Mine keep breaking.

I have been using the zoomed 100w repti basking spot lamp and I have had to buy 4-5 in the last 2-3 months because that keep breaking. Most of them just stop randomly and I come home to a cold bearded dragon. So what is a good heat light that will not break for a 20 gallon tank (she is still a juvenile so I don’t have a 40 gallon yet).

I use a Powersun UVB. They get very hot though. I recommend buying a lamp stand so you can properly adjust the temperature of the basking area. They are amazing. It puts off UVB and UVA light, the lizard will love it. Just make sure you still have your tube UVB as well so he can get UVB from the basking side, and the cool side to regulate temperature! Good luck!

You could try flood lights and halogen bulbs.
They seem to last longer and work better than the reptile branded bulbs for heat.

Just have to adjust them a bit to get correct temperatures as sometimes they can be quite powerful.

I had that issue with the ZooMed bulbs sometimes too. They were also quite fragile and would break during travel. I've found that the outdoor halogen flood lights work well as mentioned. They are thicker and much heavier though so you'll want to set them from a lamp stand as the clamp lamps won't hold them up.
