Is this pyramiding?

Arcadia sells all types. For example, the "GoldenSuns" specifically mention being incandescent.

They do but I’ve looked at the packaging of this one in particular and it’s definitely not a halogen so I’m not sure why it’s been stated as that in the description

Yeah, that's not confusing at all. lol. I don't get my basking bulbs from Arcadia, so I just went by the product description.

I see where it says that in the description, but I think that is wrong. It would say it on the packaging if this was a halogen, and halogens don't look like this.

There was another recent thread where Amazon had a ZooMed T8 tube labeled as a T8 HO tube. T8 types are not HO. These seems to be more and more of this incorrect labeling. I don't know if it is ignorance, or trickery trying to use certain "buzzwords" to make it seem more valuable.

My fear, then, would be that folks wanting to follow the advice of TFO members would either overlook perfectly good products, or worse... purchase products that could harm their torts. NOT good advertising!

Yeah, I'm a bit perturbed about that product description (no fault of Arcadia, I'm sure). I live and swear by their products. Spent thousands there. Give them free word-of-mouth advertising almost daily. Yanks my chain a bit. lol
