Zoo-Med Basking Bulb Burning Out?

[ColoradoRiverRafter]

Hey there everyone! Oddly enough, I have had to replace my light bulb twice this week. My first bulb burned out, but I had that since August, when I first got her. The second bulb I got burned out after only two days, and it was a zoo-med basking bulb. Here's a link for it: http://www.petmountain.com/product/reptile-incandescent-bulbs/11442-504972/zoo-med-reptile-uva-basking-spot-lamp.html?utm_source=gcs&utm_term=11442-504972

I originally got a 100 watt but I exchanged it for a 150 watt and had to pay $2.17 for the difference between the two. I'm hoping this one won't burn out after two days, but you never know.
Has anyone else had this problem with the Zoo-Med bulbs?

I had that problem with a zilla basking light before, as soon as i turned it on it blew up. I called zilla and they said it was a defective bulb and sent me 3 new ones no charge. Zoo med has good customer service so thy may do someyhing similar. worth a try at least!

Forgot to mention that I picket it up at a local p** s****. :shock:
Wasn't my absolute proudest moment, but it was an emergency. The new bulb is doing fine and Jessica is really enjoying it.
