For those people that know about the uvb study that was done by Frances' team a few years ago, I'm curious to know what brands/bulbs listed in that study were remodeled and remade. I highly doubt that all lights were kept on the shelf. the only one I know of that was, is zillas desert series tube uvb. I started using them at the beginning of this year. Before doing so, however, I did a little research. I read online that they had redone some components in the bulb to make them safer. I'm not one to take random advice so I called the company, too. They said the exact same thing so I knew I was on the right track. Lastly, I found out one of my friends had been using these new bulbs and thought they were fairly good. So thats when I decided to try them. The new ones are the ones with the little uvb chart by the way. I also have nothing but good things to say about them. I love them for my bearded dragon. From what I've seen and heard, these lights have come a long way. Regardless, I am still curious to know what other lights from the study were redone because I heard some people say that there were actually a lot that weren't! That is very surprising and good to know to keep a heads up.



Do unto others as you would like to be done to you, although you don't get the same treatment in return. Because whatever you do, you do because you want, not to get anything in return. Regret nothing.

Yeah the new Zilla's (Desert) are pretty good. I've tried them. I have a few reptiles in my collection so I am also aware of said study. I actually heard someone say that a few of the bulbs (don't know what brand) were never recalled or remade. Go figure! But for sure I know the Zillas were. I guess you'd have to post around for the time being, to find out.
