Zoo MedEconomy Clamp Lamp with 8.5-Inch Dome, Chrome

It's pretty hard to get a middle of the road or bad review from me...The lamp that arrived has a pure silver/aluminum colored reflector, not the nice glossy black fixture shown in the listing.Ok, so that's cosmetic... no problem.The portion that holds the bulb is normal hard non-metallic material with a push switch... functions fine.The plastic threads on the light, do not match well with the aluminum reflector threads, so the result is that the reflector actually falls off and is suspended by the bulb alone.Not great on any front. The threads are not stripped, nor cross threaded, they just don't match up diametrically.Even though it is a "Economy" clamp, one should have a reasonable expectation that parts fit, match the listing image and hold together snug.I'm sorry to say... not as shown, poor fit, low quality and I would not buy one again, nor would I recommend that others do.Clamp works fine... that's the best I can say about it. :(

I have purchased numerous dome lamps over the past few years for my hermit crab tank. They had inline switches and the light socket came loose after a few months. Sometimes I would find the light out not knowing if the bulb had expired, or if there was faulty wiring/socket work at play.That is not the case with this lamp. The switch is attached to the dome fixture, and the socket is in the same housing as this switch. There is a separate metal "dome," but it seems very secure (my previous lamps had a ceramic socket that was anchored with a few C rings to the dome, the socket would get loose making it impossible to tighter a bulb in place.)The dome is wide enough and deep enough that I can have the lamp clamped to the stand below my hermit crab cage but still have most of the light/heat exposure directed towards the tank. There is very little bleeding of light even though it is such a wide lamp.The quality of this lamp will surely exceed most needs.

My Amazon parrot , Jack, is always cold even though my house is 70. I got this and i hook it onto his cage during the day while i am away. Jack is not the kind of bird that messes with things and has not attempted to touch the cord. It puts off heat about a foot in front of it. But after that u can't feel it. It seems to help him as long as he is sitting in front of it. The clamp has worked just fine so far. Ive had it over a month and the light bulb is still going .

My lamp arrived really bent on one side. It works fine, but there’s no way it bent during shipping (the packaging inside was intact, as was the box) so it had to have gone in the box damaged. I need it really badly for some unhealthy plants, but I would recommend to buy a different product & I will not repurchase

Purchased for my red-eared sliders tanning needs. I've had experience with all brands and sizes over the last 15 years.Pros: Nice LARGE dome, sturdy construction. Fits standard American E26 bulb socket.Clamp has full range of motion.Priced around half that or you neighborhood chain pet store.(I sometimes use fluorescent bulbs so Turtles enjoy a light tan without increasing metabolic needs too much. Works well!)Cons: Really none.Word of caution: Clamp is sturdy but will move, and needs to be checked on as it may fall if clamped in upright vertical position.This is not specific to any single clamp but worth mentioning.Overall: Large domed sturdy clamp light with standard bulb socket. Very reasonably priced.

This is a good lamp, but unfortunately ours showed up with wrong size dome that didn't fit the actual lamp piece. The hole in silver dome was too big and wouldn't screw onto the bulb holding part. We happened to have this same model that had broken, so we were able to take dome from that which worked fine. Other than receiving wrong parts with order, it works great.

I use this with the Zoo Med Nocturnal Infrared Incandescent Heat Lamp (50watts), and it works wonderfully! The only thing I wish they could adjust is the length of the power cord. 6ft is definitely not as long as I remember it being! But other than that, it's awesome! :)

A good quality clamp light, used to clamp on the side of your reptile encolure. There are also many other non reptile uses for this light. A little on the expensive side, you can probably find the same thing at a store for cheaper, but i like to use good quality when it comes to my reptiles.

Wrong colour. The lamp was supposed to be of a glazed black. Instead it’s an unpolished aluminum gray.Mauvaise couleur. La lampe est affichée comme étant noire émail. Mais en réalité, elle n’est qu’en aluminum non polie.Dommage.

Does the job!

Basic, cheap, and does its job.
