lol i know that feeling. You spread out when you replace them so it won't be all at once and they still go out within the same week it seems.

Hey just another heads up for those debating. I had/have a power sun on my caiman lizard right now, the first few days he was very active and eating like a champ, just devouring everything. Colors looked amazing. Well the bulb went out (it was only two weeks old) so i returned it to the store, but it took three days to get down there and they were out of the 100w when i got there. They called me two days later and i went and picked up the new bulb. Durning those five days he did not bask (i had a UV floresent bulb and and basking light) his colors went drap and he would not eat which is scary for a new arrival.

New bulb was back in and the next day he was basking and very active! His colors look great, i can tell now that his about to shed, and best of all he is eating like crazy again. No joke he downed 5 snails in one night!

So i'm just gonna stick with the more expensive bulbs. For those wondering the florecent i was using was a repti-sun 10.0 48". I had used it for a short time for my tegu and kept it for just in case. I will be ordering a back up MVP for future cases.
