Zoo Med PowerSun UV
Other Zoo Med Products
Zoo Med PowerSun UV is a self-ballasted mercury vapor bulb with two main components. The first is a standard incandescent filament, which is the first to light. The second is a mercury vapor arc tube, which takes a few minutes to heat up. There will be a noticeable change in hue (or color) when the bulb is completely warm and fully functioning. Because the PowerSun UV is a self- ballasted bulb it can be used in any ceramic socket that is rated to handle the wattage.
Zoo Med PowerSun UV has nickel-plated threads to ensure that it will not corrode in humid reptile habitats. This new bulb also incorporates a short neck design, unique among mercury vapor lamps, that allows it to better fit into "clamp lamp" type fixtures. PowerSun UV projects useable UVB radiation...

Best lamp ever...
By Zona from York, PA
On July 19, 2010:
This lamp lasted almost two years. When it did go out, I went to my local pet store but didn't have the zoo-med brand. I bought another brand and it last ONE month.That was the 2nd one. The Zoo-Med is the BEST....
My Tegu loves it!
By Nadine from Danbury, CT
On June 9, 2010:
This is an excellent all in one product at a terrific price. The built in safety feature of turning off when the temperature gets too hot is amazing. This works great for maintaining the proper temp for my Argentine Tegu and reduces the need for multiple light fixtures.
Bearded Dragon loves it
By John from Richmond, TX
On May 4, 2010:
The Powersun gives my bearded dragon everything he needs for UV and for heat. So much easier to use a single source for both. I do have a second heat bulb simply because the enclosure is 4' x 2'. However, the PowerSun is so important I keep a spare on hand so I won't be without.
Good price and good service
By Danny from Narberth, PA

We are very pleased that Pet Mountain has such a broad range of products and that the prices and shipping rates are good. Thank you Pet Mountain!
Great! Safe!

The safest UVB available for reptiles! Very reccommended! Normally $85!!!
Does a tortoise good!
By Sandy from Hood River , OR
On January 1, 2008:
I have used the power sun vapor bulb for my tortoise for several years and it works great for his environment. I usually order from Zoo Med as the quality is good and the price is always better than the other stores that handle the bulb.
Love it
By Sharon from Virginia Beach, VA

Great Product
By Mike from Atlanta, GA
On December 8, 2007:
I like the fact that I only have to buy 1 light for heat and uvb rays, the cost is more but it last twice as long.
"M turtles Love IT!
By Nunzia from Sunland, CA
On November 8, 2007:
I have two turtles (water turtles...aka red eared slider turtles and I didn't want to get them a basking lamp so I got this instead and they love it. They are very active and they use it not only for uva and uvb but also for heat because this bulb gives off heat too... I recommend it to anyone.
Powersun uv bulbs rock!!!!
By Colby from West Monroe, LA
On October 11, 2007:
This is the most awesome light to use on bearded dragons. they love it and it is better for their health and is cheaper than buying all the other stuff. This bulb is the best!!!!
Works great!
By Randy from Lake Forest, CA
On September 1, 2007:
I have used these for several years and they always work great. I usually change them after 1 year of use, but recently I let one run for 20 months and it is still going strong. You should remember to replace them, though, because UV output does decrease significantly after 1-1.5 years. They may be a little expensive, but these are essential to the proper care of your turtles!

My turtles love it!
By Linda from Chicago, IL
On August 30, 2007:
Love this bulb! My turtles sure do enjoy basking under this lamp. I used to have a regular fluorescent tube with a 100W light bulb in order to provide my turtles the UV and heat sources, which was very clumsy. With this bulb, my turtles can enjoy both the UV light and heat evenly distributed from 1 source.
I highly recommend it to all turtle lovers out there!
Excellent Product
By Troy from Austin, TX
On June 3, 2007:
Provides both heat and UV light for our bearded dragon. Saves us money vs. buying both heat lamps and UV fixtures + replacing heat bulbs every three months. This bulb lasts between 1 and 2 years depending on use. Couldn't be happier.
Zoo med powersun bulb
By Marcy from Ft Lauderdale, FL
On May 27, 2007:
This is a really good bulb. It seems like it lasts forever!
Nice product
By Christine from S. Berwick, ME
On May 21, 2007:
I like the fact that you can use 1 light for heat and uvb rays, and eliminate clutter, thanks!
Powersun bulb

great bulb!
Reasonable Price for longlasting bulb
By Theresa from East Lansing, MI
On October 20, 2006:
This blub in combination with the 10" ceramic socket makes alot of sense for reptile habitats. I use this bulb on my 29gallon turtle aquarium. Though initial set-up is more expensive than a normal heat lamp plus florescent UV light fixture. In the long run, this high quality, long lasting blub has saved me money. Where as any brand of 100w heat bulb I would buy would die within a month, this bulb is still going strong after 6 months, and is rated to have high UV output for up to a year!!!
