MVB suddenly very blue!

[Yellow Turtle01]

This morning I noticed a huge change in my MVB over the big turtles.
You can't really see it (I even tried the light off) but it's very blue today.

The output is 88ish, as usual. I don't have a UV output gun, though, so I don't know how much it's till producing.
It's almost 3 months old, so I'm expecting 3 more, right? Hm...

Sorry. I've never had one change its color.

It just burnt out. Thank you, though.

Hope you claimed the warranty. I think it covers them for 6 months.

Really?? It was an EXO-Terra, I don't think it had one...
Darn, that would have been awesome!

Should be some sort of warranty.

I probably don't have the receipt anymore, but I'll look. I won't buy a 60$ if I can get it for free!

I know for sure the powersun does.

Zoomed Powersun has a one year warranty. I always save the box and receipt just in case. Over the last 6 years I have had to warranty two of them out. Zoomed is very fast about sending me a new one as soon as they receive the defective one. I buy my Powersun bulbs from either Amazon.com or Petmountain.com. I usually watch for a sale and get them for around $45.00.

I don't have my receipt anymore, that I could find! Guess I should start buying ZOOMed bulbs!!

If you really want to, there's probably a way to return it. A lot of stores will exchange items without receipts.

I don't like Powersuns; it's been a while but last time I messed with them they were too hit or miss with varying UVB.

Have you thought about Mega-ray?

Ooo, I've heard of their website before, but it feels unsafe ordering bulbs online. I don't want the to be broken!
EDIT-Asked Google, 'megaray'

 

[jaizei]

I haven't had problems ordering 'regular' bulbs (MVBs) online; it's usually the fluorescent tubes that break.

I go on lllreptile and get my Exo-terra bulbs for 29.99 or the Zoo med mercury vapor bulb for 47.99 or 49.99 plus 6 bucks for shipping. It's cheaper for me to get my supplies there.
