  • @bigapplepetsupply i was thinking of purchasing one of these lights for my chameleon but i heard that you cannot use these bulbs with a thermometer, so was wondering how i would monitor the tempreture of the bulb to see if my chameleon is getting the right heat. If you could get back to me ASAP i would be gratefull

  • @HannersHD What would be the reason for not being able to use the bulb with a thermometer, that doesn't seem to make sense since the thermometer will be able to sense the heat. You can also use something like our infrared temp gun to check the surface temperature.

  • Hey Steve, I want to say first that my experiences with Big Apple Herp has been pleasant and I am more then satisfied with your service. I have purchased this Zoo Med Powersun from you guys 8/17/11 and within that period of time the bulb flickered alot and eventually it wasnt operable in anyway. I also bought the Zoo Med deep dome with stand..awesome product. My question is how do I get the warranty honored? Through BAH or Zoo Med? Thanks for your reply Steve

  • @BLown05Navigator ZooMed requires all warranty issues on this bulb to be handled directly through them. They are very good about handling the warranty.

  • A how can u tell the powersun bulb has uvb and i got my from ebay

  • @iguanasrule1 You can't, it could be used and have no UV. This is something so important to your reptile that you never want to purchase it from a non-legitimate source.

  • Omg fuck man I hope my baby bearde dragon has mbd ;(

  • @BigApplePetSupply. Thank you for your reply. I understand.

  • @txrepgirl This bulb is ONLY warrantied by Zoo Med in their Extra Deep Dome which is located in the May We Recommend section on the page that we sell the Powersun Bulb. If you use a Walmart dome you will lose the warranty.

  • Thank you for this great video. Is it OK to use a big dome with the ceramic top from Home Depot or Walmart ? Ho may months can I keep this bulb if the Lizard is burmating/hibernating over the winter time ?
