When I unpacked the lamp and anschaltete, I was very pleased. My Tailed Boa loves the light and warmth of this bulb, but this should not last long. We did not even six weeks joy of almost 9 expensive lamp! Since my Snake invariably stayed at this bulb, I changed today (the first time since I have this bulb!) Pages in Terra - I exchanged the red light with this, so my times Odin often moves through Terra. I screwed it a very careful because I have read here already often that it goes quickly broken. When switching on, I noticed that the bulb was sitting too loose, so I adjusted gently by. Suddenly it crackled and it trickled small glass fragments out of the socket. The bulb has come off the thread and still dangling on some wires around it. I really did not fully tightened and zag, broken! As if that was not the biggest bullshit, I now get them no longer from my lamp socket and must now take my terrarium apart and remove the socket, to somehow get the defective bulb out of there! And when I looked here, whether there is a possibility of exchange: No, forget it - just one month exchangeable. For such a bad quality that is the absolute Oberhammer !!!
