i figured out i have a recalled r-zilla bulb and i called around looking for a reptisun 5.0 by zoomed because thats all i hear about....i found a reptitropical 5.0 by zoomed is this similar or not?? iama keep calling around
If it is recalled then as your doing get a new bulb. I have the reptisun and love it. I use it for the chams and my beardeds, only brand i'll go with but again it's my opinion and like of the product.
You might be able to go to Zoomed's website and compare the ReptiSun and the Reptitropical light spectrum outputs or if you have a ReptiSun box compare the info on the boxes. I haven't heard of that type before.
to my knowledge, there is no ZOOMED reptitropical, so i am assuming you mean a hagen reptiglo tropical 5.0http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=6016+6028+19108+19729&pcatid=19729 the zoo med equivalent would be http://www.zoomed.com/db/products/E...Qcm9kdWN0Q2F0ZWdvcnkiO3M6ODoiTGlnaHRpbmciO30= , personally i would just get a zoo med reptisun 5.0 and be done with it . jmo
Lotta people like the 5.0's. If you ever get access to a UV meter check out the amount of UV you lose through the screen. The amount of UV also drops off signifiantly as you get further away from it. For this reason I use all Reptisun 10.0's.
