I recently purchased this exact bulb at a reptile convention and I am curious if any one else has used it and what their thoughts are about it? For me it is doing a great job achieving my desired temperatures and providing a spot for basking. It also claims to be the longest lasting in terms of UVB, but how long is that supposed to be?

The only way to be sure is with a UV radiometer. They vary incredibly even bulb to bulb by the same manufacturer.
