What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing calls this a Repti Glo 2.0 full-spectrum bulb and separately includes an included-components entry naming “Exo Terra Repti-Glo 2.0 UVB (13 watts)”. Customer feedback also includes reports of absent UVB. Treat its UVB output as unconfirmed and check the exact product and animal-specific lighting requirements before buying. The listing also gives “13 Watts” as incandescent equivalent wattage alongside 13-watt power consumption, so those figures should not be treated as equivalent efficiency claims.

Customer feedback is generally positive about brightness, quality and use in bioactive or planted terrariums, including comments about plant health. Reports on functionality, lifespan and value are mixed, with some describing long use and others reporting burnout in under six months. Some customers also note a lack of UVB, which matters because the listing does not clearly confirm UVB output. These are reported experiences, not a verified lifespan or a measurement of the bulb's output.
Positive themes
- Customers praise brightness and report using the bulb in bioactive terrariums and keeping plants healthy.
Negative themes
- Some customers report that the bulb stopped working or burned out in under six months.
- Some customers note an absence of UVB.
Mixed feedback
- Customer views on functionality, lifespan and value differ, including both long-lasting use and early burnout reports.
Frequently asked questions
Does this bulb provide UVB?
The listing's details are inconsistent: it describes a full-spectrum daylight bulb, while an included-components entry calls it UVB and some customer feedback notes an absence of UVB. UVB output is not confirmed here, so check the exact bulb and your animal's requirements.
What terrariums is it intended for?
The manufacturer describes it as general terrarium lighting and says its output suits planted terrariums and animals with lower UV requirements, including snakes, amphibians and nocturnal animals.
Can it be paired with a UVB bulb?
The listing recommends pairing it with an Exo Terra Reptile UVB100, UVB150 or UVB200, sold separately, depending on the reptile's UV requirements.
