After reading some of the reviews, I was a little afraid to purchase this. Being in need of a UVB light badly, and reading about the cases of blindness in reptiles caused by compact bulbs I decided to go with a standard flourescent bulb.

It arrived in a large cardboard box, tightly packed with brown paper and those huge air bag/bubble wrap things. It was packaged very securely. I put a bulb in, plugged up the hood, and flicked it on. It's been working like a charm nonstop so far. I run it about 10 hours a day for my bearded dragon. It's even been knocked off the tank twice by my cats and fallen about 3 foot to the floor. It still works great.

I have notified the seller who does take returns and is responsive-thank you. It's the product not seller that is at issue here. TOO MANY reviews gave the warning but I took the chance because the price was good. I even expedited shipping for our Bearded Dragon needed the light to stay healthy. ZOO MED should take full responsibility and pull this product from the market before other animals become sick from defective hoods. Had it less than 2 weeks. Since we opened the box and set up, the hood did not work properly, but the perfectly NEW working bulb would turn on if we fiddled it a bit. It would turn off automatically with our timer but in the morning would not. SO again we would have to move the bulb a bit back and forth so it would turn on. I should NOT have to do that with any product, new or old. Today the hood stopped working completely. I have to go to the pet store and purchase something in the interim. I do not trust the ZOO MED HOODS. This was our second one. The first also stopped working but I thought it may have been because we had it a few years. Now I see form the reviews that more than the average, one is defective. Not a trust worthy product at all.

I went through two different bulbs in the first week. They were both brand new, and constantly flickered. It wasn't the bulbs. It was the terrarium hood. Too bad, cause its a good price. Would have been a better price if it worked.

I can't speak for the 30 and 36 inch models, but as far as I'm concerned this product is faulty and unreliable. I purchased this product 8 months ago and upon its arrival it would only turn on about 50% of the time. Dissatisfied, I sent it back to Zoo Med (yea YOU PAY SHIPPING FOR THIS, no reimbursement), waited ~2 weeks and was sent an email stating that they could find nothing wrong with the product and were going to send me the same light back with the bulb I put in it and an additional bulb "in the interest of customer service". I told them keep the extra bulb and give me a new hood, they refused. I don't think that's great customer service...

I eventually got the hood to work on a regular basis (with the original bulb, not the new one they sent with it) and hooked it up to a timer to turn on and off. It always took 5-10 minutes before it would turn on after the timer switch signaled it to do so. After 8 months, it's no longer functioning. I'm going to replace the starter and if that doesn't fix the problem, this things going to the recycling bin. Look for something better, even a simple fixture and ballast at Lowe's or Home Depot is better than this heap of junk.

Honestly I have expected better from Zoo Med. All Zoo Med products are excellent... except this one. This thing is a piece of junk. It worked fine for about 2 weeks then it died! I don't recommend this product. Sorry Zoo Med this product needs improvements.

I ordered a 20" Zoo Med Repti Sun Hood and I put in a Zoo Med Repti Sun 10.0 light into it and it wouldn't turn on not matter how I put it in, so then I went to Petsmart and got another light bulb thinking that it was the light bulb and not the hood but it wouldn't turn on either... Then I bought another hood at pastrami that was the exact same model thinking the hood was broken and the bulbs would turn on in the hood I bought from Petsmart but they flickered for a good 5 seconds before they would actually stay on so they brought out another bulb and it did the same thing so they brought out another hood and it continued to flicker for a few seconds before it would fully turn on, the Petsmart rep said thats not normal so well see how long this lasts given that I have a automatic Zoo Med power control center..

I've gone through two of these Terrarium Hoods and neither worked. The first one didn't work at all. The second, I have to shake and/or hold it a certain way for the light to come one. And please don't anyone touch it...not even a little. The light will just go off and I'll have to do the same routine all over again until the light comes on.

I've had this hood over a year now and have had no problems with it what-so-ever! I purchased it to get more full coverage for UVB lighting for my tank. The fixture gets warm but not hot. The plastic feels thick and durable and the switch likewise is well-made. I will note there is no glass to protect the bulb and electrical elements from damp conditions, however so long as your not planning on laying the fixture directly on top of an extremely humid tank you shouldn't encounter any issues at all. I would recommend it, particularly for desert dwellers like bearded dragons.
I would like to note that buyers be sure to get the right bulb for your reptile's needs. If you're using UVB bulbs, be aware of the distance that your animal needs to be from the lamp to get enough UVB and plan the height of your fixture accordingly. And also be aware that 'full spectrum' bulbs do not provide adequate UVB (if any at all) for many reptiles.
On a side note, this fixture takes T8 18" tube lights. Zoo med's brand UVB bulbs (Reptisun) are currently considered the best bulbs for UVB output, Amazon sells them as well for cheaper than the stores.
