Zilla 20 watt desert 50

[MagillaGorilla]

So i ordered a reptisun 10.0 thinking my current UVB was very dangerous to my beardie, i kinda just assumed that the one i had was 'compact' and i knew those were bad but since the fixture i ordered didnt fit the light ill have to wait another two-three days before my beardie gets his UVB again. So my question was, is this Zilla 20 watt Desert 50 bulb really that dangerous?, i will be replacing it but considering he has been without his 12 hour UVB radiation for at least a week now, would it be a good idea to keep this one for the short time?.

Here is a link to the product if your not exactly sure what im talking about

Hello,

So did you read the UK report on those bulbs? If not, here it is:

That was like I don't know how long ago, we can let that go. And from what I have read some people didn't use them properly. I personally have been using the bulbs since last year. I've never had any problems. My beardie is in perfect health. So, just try it for yourself. I would recommend them to you.
