HELP - UVB Lighting

[Rusty]

Update: I bought ANOTHER fixture and lamp and what do you know… burnt out again within days. I’m close to crying out of frustration. I emailed Zoomed and hope to get a reply soon.

Have you moved? It sounds like wiring or shorts in your outlets,
If it just started happening, what if any thing have you changed environmentally?
Is any other light shorting, get a dome light you can buy the uvb lights they aren't as good but better than nothing till you figure this out, gl

Vibration will also make fluorescent lights blow, is there something that could be making the lights unstable?

Nothing has changed. His basking bulb hasnt blown out at all. I dont mist his tank so it cant be water damage. I have also tried running an extension cord from a different outlet to see if that would work but nope, same outcome

I use a dome type for his basking site my tank is lg and he needs extra bulbs around, so i just get them at pet value, they only have uvb I think not the uva but they are at least less expensive than the t5

I totally understand your frustration, my cat broke 6 lights in 6 months i started to think it was on purpose, now i fixed all that, but bulbs not cheap, and poor brardy

Yea I did from a different Petsmart. I tried to order from Pangea reptile but the cost was a little high for me and it would take too long to arrive. he would be without uvb for 3-5 days :/. i dont know what else to do.

Sounds like the same bunch of uvbs PetSmart and Petco got
