A: This lamp should be on for 10 - 12 hours a day to maintain your animals day and night cycle. Q: Can I use the rheostat/thermostat with a Reptisun, Avian Sun or Power Sun UV? A: These lamps need specific line voltages; they cannot be used with dimmers/rheostats. Q: How can I get the maximum out of a lamp? A: Minimizing handling: lamps that get moved or vibrated burn out quickly. Make sure that the fixture isnt being moved regularly. It is best to use a quality ceramic socket, not a plastic socket. You can check your fixture by unplugging it and looking at the metal tab in the center - where the bulb screws in. This tab can be pulled slightly forward to ensure that it makes a good contact with the bulb. Q: Does this lamp emit UVB? A: Yes! This lamp provides the full visible spectrum as well as UVA and UVB. What is UVB and why does my reptile need it? Q: How often should this lamp be replaced? A: This lamp will provide optimum levels of UVB for 12 months so it should be replaced once a year.
