Basking Light bulbs

[GrilledCheese]

Hi, I wanted to know if these light bulbs would work as the basking light.

I know the suggested lights are supposed to be BR30 but I can’t find any non LED ones. I originally got the ZooMed 60w but it was on for a lil over a week (12hrs each day) before it burned out. Tried looking online for reptile ones (like fluckers and zilla) but kept seeing comments about how the bulbs exploded or would only last a week.

Would these work or do you guys have any suggestions?

No, a "13 watt" bulb is not going to put out any heat. Just like a 6 watt led is not going to put out any heat.

You are going to need an old "incandescent" or halogen. I prefer halogen wide flood in the 35-75 watt range. Halogens are alot more efficient than incandescent and they last far longer due to the self healing halogen cycle, just dont put them on a dimmer. Below is a bulb within a bulb, so they are even splash proof.

I’ve used Fluker’s and Zilla basking bulbs with little problems. The worst was Amazon sent them with no padding and I received all of the bulbs broken. These come well padded by the manufacturer and have been working just fine for my chams. I can’t even recall the last time I had to replace a basking bulb. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B44SG2Z5?ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details&th=1
