Fluker's Repta-Clamp Lamp, Heavy Duty Clamp Light For Reptile Tanks and Terrariums, UL/CUL Approved, Great for Reptile Basking, 75-Watt Maximum with On/Off Switch, 5.5"

Always use fluker lamps; the price is right! These are a staple for any reptile owner. I recommend going with one that allows 150+ watts just to be safe! But as long as you know what lightbulb you’re using, any kind of lamp will be good as long as it’s flukersSide note- I bought a smaller shaped dome but returned and bought a bigger one so the heat could penetrate more of the enclosure :) my box turtle seems more active this way!

Great product I use for my turtle

Very good quality at amazing $5 price is awesome !

5.5" on/off switch versionFor the cheap price I was honestly expecting something of lesser quality. Mine has no defects, came undamaged, has a switch on the cord, has a nice heavy porcelain socket, black enamel paint on the outside of the dome, inside is not crazy reflective but it's not bad, kind of like an aluminum look, decent vent holes. Just like the pic but it's hard to really gauge quality from the pic. Quality is decent.It's rated for 75 watts and it seems well made enough to handle that but I feel that would get a bit unnecessarily hot in this size dome. If I was going above 40 or 50 watts I'd get an 8" or one of the deeper 5.5" domes to have more air space around the bulb. No sense gettin a fixture absurdly hot for no reason.I'm currently using mine with a 35 watt halogen bulb for basking spot, and I have a 1" porcelain socket extender in there to get the bulb just a bit lower and it's working out splendidly. It does get hot after a while but not like 3rd degree burns the second you touch it hot. Kind of a side note, those socket extenders are nice for the small halogen bulbs because they also get the bulb more centered vertically in the fixture so you have optimal room for heat dissipation. Just be sure to get porcelain and decent quality.Anyway this is a great little dome. For $7 I was kind of expecting it to be more chintzy and just use it for a small UVB CFL or a night light or something. But I'm comfortable with a 35 watt halogen in there. It would be awesome for a small coil style UVB but it's not deep enough for the double "U" style like the Reptisun mini I typically use. It would work if you had it suspended but a lot of the bulb would stick out and that's just not sexy at all. For anything like a standard sized bulb or smaller it's excellent.

The lamp works as intended, but I had to order a second lamp since the first one I received was defective.

nice

Great size for my 25 gallon tank for my African Fat- Tailed gecko

I've purchased at least 6 of Fluker clamp lamps over the years. I don't recall assembly being complicated. This one really wasn't difficult after I looked online. There are 2 sets of holes, one with a wing nut and the other without. Many, like me, would think another screw and nut would go through the second hole. WRONG. Not sure why the hole exists - it's useless. Before tightening the wing nut slip the grippy metal end of the clamp between those 2 holes then tighten. Perfect. These fixtures last forever, I needed a smaller model for a small tank to temporarily house a baby snapping turtle I found by a creek. Laying on top of ground it appeared dead. I picked it up and it began moving in the warmth of my hands. The weather here has been crazy - seemed like it had begun to brumate but in an unsafe location. Now in a 78 degree tank with greens and hiding spaces and a UVA/UVB - he is eating well and will be released at the same creek in the late spring.
