Another bulb thread! Shining sullenly with over 160 watts of pessimism.
Zoo Med PowerSun 100
Zoo Med PowerSun 160
Exo-Terra Solar-Glo 125/160
The average reviews, and especially the newest reviews, do not inspire confidence...
Should I be searching somewhere other than Amazon for quality bulbs?
Am I overlooking an amazing product?
Or are there no reliably good products out there?
The PowerSun is the model I hear the most praise for based on my searches on TFO (aside from the formerly amazing and currently deplorable MegaRay), but as you can read above, there seem to be lots of premature bulb failures...
Note: I realize that the PowerSun has a 1-year warranty, but if the first bulb fails quickly, and its replacement does the same, I don't like where that leaves me...
Is buying MVBs inherently a gamble, with decent odds of wasted money? Or am I unduly worried, due to the fact that people are more likely to review when they are unhappy with a product than when they are pleased with one?
