Exo TerraRepti-Glo 2.0 Compact Fluorescent Full Spectrum Terrarium Lamp, 13-Watt (Natural Light)

The picture speaks for itself…. Soft white lighting looks so good in this small enclosure. The biggest benefit of this bulb is how cool is stays! I needed to have a very cool bulb for this small terrarium and this was a perfect solution.

For anyone wondering, a comparison shot of the Exo Terra Repti-Glo 2.0 Compact Fluorescent Full Spectrum Terrarium Lamp, 13-Watt Vs. Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 Mini Compact Fluorescent Lamp, 13 Watt. They both serve me well.

Works great in my exo-terra terrarium hood. The light is white and bright which enhances the true colors of my plants and frogs. It produces minimal heat--raising the temperature of my tank less than 2 degrees throughout the daylight cycle. I also like that it provides a small amount of UV. Great product!

Very sturdy bulb survived being packed in a bubble-envelope and having both ends of the box crushed. Imagine packing a light bulb this way so that 50 pound boxes can get thrown on top of it in transit! I previously used a Phillips 13 watt full-spectrum CFL that is no longer available. This 13 watt is about 25% dimmer and costs a lot more. I don't know the lumens of the old bulb so I can't make a direct comparison. I was afraid that the 20 watt version would be too bright, but I think I am going to try it.

Great light! Not a whole lot to say. It fits my unit just fine and it lasts a long time. Nice and bright and does give the daylight look instead of that harsh, stagnant white fluorescent look some bulbs give. Gives off just a little heat but is NOT a heat bulb. This is what I needed but please make sure you're buying this bulb for just light and not heat.

I use this light for my tortoises in the winter when they come inside. This was a replacement for the one I bought approximately four years ago. I have this on for 12 hours a day. Using this light has kept my tortoises' shells growing correctly and they enjoy sitting under the light.

Its not super bright, it does the job enough to see but I dont think its enough to help out the plants in my terrarium. I regret buying it overall there are better options out there but 3 stars since it works but didnt meet my expectations

I currently use this light in a 40 gallon bioactive terrarium and it works great. It seems to be supporting the plants, provides plenty of white light, and produces a low amount of heat. So far, no issues at all!
