Size Name:250 Watt Product Description The Exo Terra ceramic heater is a radiant heat source which creates a natural sunlike heat with a uniform pattern. The long wave infrared heat produced by this emitter will warm reptiles very efficiently. It also increases the ambient air temperature in the terrarium.Infrared heat penetrates the scales and skin tissue, promoting health and healing as it widens the blood vessels and increases blood circulation. The ceramic heater is to be used only with the specially designed Exo Terra wire light. Box Contains Each order comes with 1 x Exo Terra Ceramic Heat Emitter, 250W

Didn’t provide as much heat as expected
I wanted to slightly raise the temperature of my viv as my room tended to be around 17-20 degrees but occasionally as low as 15 and needed to maintain around 24 degrees. After checking the Exo Terra website I thought the 40w would be sufficient based on the charts showing what temperature it gives off.Unfortunately either it was a bad batch or just not powerful enough but it only maintained 22 degrees and this was on continuous. I had to change for a 60w which does the job fine and the thermostat shows it’s not on full power all the time.

Perfect
Brilliant bulb. Used with my habistat to heat a large glass viv with a mesh top. Does the job perfectly. I've had the smaller 100w one lying around as a spare for well over 2 years and it still works 2. These are great bulbs, but they are a pain to remove from the fitting as the metal cap tends to get stuck but it's the same with most ceramics and you should only be removing it if the bulb has died.Only downside to these is it's hard to find a cage that'll fit them, they're about as wide (if not wider) than a cd. But if you have a mesh roof and a good fitting it's perfect, durable and efficient. This and the smaller/lower wattage bulbs are the best i've used.

Works a treat
Exactly as described, used with a thermostat and ceramic holder and works a treat. Just be careful not to touch the CHE even for a split second with anything (especially fabrics) while it is on- the fibres will melt to the lamp and make the whole room stink like burning plastic.... would recommend getting a guard to prevent this from happening!

Great quality bulbs, heat my vivariums with ease. Just be careful looking for guards.
Perfect for hearing my vivs. Although did find it difficult to find a guard to fit. I bought the 250 Watt. No fault of the bulbs though. Just a marketing mistake. So be prepared to search if you buy the large 250!I have 4ft vivs and these bulbs heat them easily.

Expensive and poor durability
Had to change my review for 1 start due to poor durability after 4 months (not working straight obviously) just stopped working so quite expensive for a few times on and off during 4 months.

No complaints
Not much to say really

Does a perfect job!
I got this about 6 months go and still going strong, unlike the countless 'light bulbs' that had previously used, so already paid for itself. It's heating a glass vivarium (and resident corn snake) approx 18in wide by 3ft long by 2ft high at a perfect temperature. It does get warmer than the equivalent wattage bulb though so a cage is pretty vital to protect your pet from possible burns.
