L LanterLand Member Feb 8, 2019 #1 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 https://www.amazon.com/GE-Lighting-62715-Energy-Efficient-replacement/dp/B007V92RJA/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1549646813&sr=1-8&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011%2Cp_n_feature_nineteen_browse-bin%3A9692451011&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=par38&dpPl=1&dpID=51THsF1%2B4KL&ref=plSrch 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. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07CSHD9T6/ref=psdcmw_328864011_t3_B007V92RJA?th=1&psc=1

SPandS Juvie Member Feb 8, 2019 #2 I use regular halogen bulbs from the dollar store. Usually 2 in a pack, sometimes 3, for only $1.
