Pangea Deep Heat Projector 2-Pack - 75W Reptile Heating Lamp for Terrariums & Vivariums - Ideal for Bearded Dragons, Snakes & Lizards - Provides Natural Warmth & Comfort

I bought the cheap DHP on Amazon and it died day 2. This one has been going strong for 2 months now.I purchased a different brand DHP 75watt for my 40 gallon terrarium and my temps were averaging a few degrees cooler than I needed. I found that Pangea offered a 100 watt option with a little more umph. I was hesitant due to some reviews mentioning packaging issues and receiving damaged bulbs. I ordered the 2 pack in hopes that ONE would make it to me in tact. Luckily, they both did and the packaging was sufficient. I would not hesitate to buy this brand again. The bulb/sleeve does smoke a bit. I’ve read with DHP’s that there is a coating on the filament that has to burn off. Once that happened, the odor neutralized and all was well. It was offensive, just smelled a little like it does when you turn your heating unit on for the first time in the winter. This extra wattage gave me the additional few degrees to keep my Leopard gecko happy and healthy.Pangea deep heat projectors have given much needed energy to my leopard geckos. They come out of their hides walk around explore. Plus it works as a great heaters you will need a dimable thermostat or a Pymeter. I use a Pymeter works fine I just don’t know how long these lamps will last constantly turning on and off but I will let you all know as times passes by.I actually used this for my outside feral cats.i have a small cat house and I installed this in the top right hand corner. makes for a comfortable heated place for my cats to hang out in winter.
