What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
I hope the quality keeps up and the price is actually just because they've streamlined production. The product is good and comes in really nice packaging that protects it well.
The difference with this one is produces heat as well as uva. The uvb is unmatched with any other bulb.

Mega-ray bulbs are the *only* way to go if you want healthy reptiles. More cost efficient then human approved lights and tanning devices. Can also be used for reptile tanning. Best uvb lights i've ever used.

It's a clogged vent so that raises concerns of overheating and a possible fire hazard to me. His eyes got puffy before he died. He just lays and gets all black when it’s on.
