Is the Dual Lamp fixture able to safely hold a 150 watt basking bulb along with a Compact Repti Glo 10.0, 26 wt UV bulb?

Yes! This light fixture can support up to 300WATTS... I found this fixture to be amazing! I loved everything about it! I used it for solar bulbs... Which is a basking bulb and UVB all in one, and a night time bulb... I hope you enjoy! ☺️

I'm currently using 100w in mine, but I believe u can use up to a 160W basking safely. It's a very good product.

Each socket can support 150 watts, for a combined total of 300. I've used a 150 watt basking bulb along with a 100 watt ceramic heater with mine.

Per the specifications, the fixture can be used with up to 160 watt lamps do long as the total wattage is no more than 300 watts, so you should be well within safe operation of the fixture.This fixture is commonly used with Zoo-Med's Power Sun mercury vapor lamps, which come in 100 and 160 watt versions, so your 150 watt basking bulb should be fine. You may, however run into balance issues due to bulb weight if you use a lamp stand. This can be rectified to some degree by manipulating the way the cords hang.

I don't think so.There are special "UVB light bulb"s for reptiles and amphibians.I bought this for my gold fishes. There is the "Zoo Med ReptiSun 5.0 Mini Compact Fluorescent Lamp, 13 Watts" that is 5% UVB output & 30% UVA output..You may want to look at this one and is on Amazon.com

Sure can. I have four 60-watt equivalent bulbs in mine right now. There is plenty of room inside the globes...you could even put larger ones in there.

Yes, I believe it's large enough to hold a CFL, but not sturdy enough to support the additional weight. Even with a regular bulb, I found the top part of the lamp to be too heavy to stay in position once an ordinary (i.e. 60 watt) bulb is installed. I returned mine for that reason.

I have used this unit with two 60-watt (equivalent) LED fixtures. It has worked fine.

We have two sixty watt bulbs in the lamp and the lamp is located on our lanai so that it does not get direct rain. It does the job and yes, it is sturdy.

Yes, I have a larger double dome for 150 watt blubs. Just make sure the glass is clean and dry before sticking it on.

as long as you keep the lamp within 25 inches of the base, you'll be fine. Just be sure to really tighten the flathead screws that hold the joints together. out of the box they can be pretty loose

I use a 40 watt bulb, and it casts a nice warm glow. I have to warn you that I bought one for myself and one sent to a friend. Both lamps were very poorly packaged and cheaply made. I sent mine back for a replacement, and even the replacement was a bit damaged. I kept it; it's a good enough lamp for the price, but know that you may have to re-thread the lampshade or iron out some dents. That said, I've had the lamp for a while and it has performed well and if I turn the dented side to the wall, it looks pretty nice too.

Yes but it is longer than the lamp fixture. So if you want to clamp it onto the side of a cage it won't work. Hope this helps.

I had the same question but the bulb I am looking at is a Zoo Med Mercury Vapor and is 100 watt, this fixture is rated at 100 watt... sounds like a match to me. I'm going to do it!

do u mean the power or not?this lamp holder is E27/E26 ,we suggest you max 60W incandescent bulb,but sure you can use higher power,but is not good for the holder life Thanks Jet

No. The 150W is the maximum. It is a safety issue as a 150W bulb gets very hot. A 40W bulb should be fine. I put a 9W LED bulb in mine and it works great.

you are ok w/ respect to wattage; however, plse bear in mind that this is a very large bulb and bulb needs wide fixture & room "to breathe" for best function; also make sure that shade is wide enough for this bulb's dimensions with extra room "to breathe"......

150 watt is the maximum. It says so on a sticker right on the lamp that I have. The sticker also says to use "type A lamp 3-way or smaller".

The three bulb fixture would fit the XL Reptibreeze perfectly,. It wouldn't be too heavy, because the weight of the fixture would be on the metal framing instead of the screen. I believe the 4 bulb fixture, which I don't see in this listing, is 36 inches wide, which would be too wide for your cage.

I have a mini dual lamp hanging on the end and a single lamp about half way. The stand holds them just fine. :-)
