What is Reddit's opinion of Zoo Med Daylight Blue Incandescent Reptile Bulb 60 Watts?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

during the summer if a persons home is "hot" and without AC then a heat lamp isn't recommended. I turn mine off in that case.

But these animals do need to self regulate their temps for various reasons.
So you should have one in there so it can do that.

The problem is that some people get these UVa emitting lamps that can cause UV burns... especially the Blue daylight bulbs that are dangerous to have (high UV emitters)

We do recommend that people get a shielded light bulb that doesn't emit appreciable UV and has a gentile more diffuse heat radiation and that be placed inside of a wide reflective or hooded dome.

To provide a smooth and easy gradient for heat and self regulation.

I think that the confusion often comes from people getting the wrong lights as part of kits and we tell them to turn everything off till we figure things out and that people don't follow up on that.

Heat sources are needed to self regulate, except when a persons home is already hot.
Then the concern is the nighttime cool down temps as well as making sure that the animals aren't overheated.

So ideally we should always mention that for some people a AC will be required to prevent overheating and nighttime cooldowns (all depending on the species)

But in short, people often get dangerous heat sources and we ask that they be turned off until we can figure things out and if they have the proper equipment for their area and species.

More likely irritation and "itchy eyes" from the artificial lighting.
Very often people have their UV lights too strong, or too close for safe use and the sensitive eyes get damaged.

There's also "hidden" UV sources that people buy and use.. .as heat sources.
Products like theblue daylight bulbs should NEVER be used by chameleon owners.

Sorry to hear about this, your post was caught in the filter as someone reported it for removal.
(someone is a real asshole for doing this)

Her colors are blanched out, she's way overheating.

I read some of the history, when you say 60Watt incandescent what do you mean exactly?

These are 60watt incandescent lights (strictly speaking) but they're not suitable for chameleons (far too strong of a UVa source )

There's also the red IR lights will also bake it

Something is seriously wrong here.... the eye's closed like this points to a possible UVa issue.
