I bought a ceramic heat lamp on 24th april, It just blew! Poor boris had a chilly night and im raging, blooming cross! I thought they are meant to last 3 years not 3 flipping months!!!
So, the moral of this story is...dont buy cheap lamps of 'handsproductsuk' on ebay! |

I looked at that guys bulbs once.but stuck with the branded ones.
Ebay £9.45
Other places £12.40
So not a massive saving if it lasts years :) |

I use IR's for florence and never had a problem but i like the ceramic in Boris's viv so intend to stick with it. I have made a complaint to the seller and asked for a refund or replacement. Meanwhile i have ordered anohter from another company. Luckily i had a 150w spare so am using that for the moment. |

I've had a bulb go after 1 week, lol. I went to the shop to complain and got a 'these things happen' response, i gave him the 'trading standards, fit for purpose' response, and got a refund, lol. I use komodo bulbs now and I've not had one blow yet (6 months +). |

I woke up during a power cut a few weeks ago and had to get george out and keep him warm in my bed lol
aww! That was a good excuse lol! I bet he loved that, bless ...
Sorry to hear about the bulb, Sandi, what a bummer ...it can often be true, you get what you pay for. Mind you I find longevity varies with the top brand IR bulbs ...luck of the draw eh? |
