Yeah I know, I waited and waited and waited. My bulb was in the new oven about two weeks ago lol...As soon as I said thats it! Enough is enough! My bulb was ready to be dispatched! lol..So ok I said I will wait, then waited and waited and waited. Has been very stressful to say the least. He knows I was Beep...I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I probably wont buy from there again to be honest with you. I wanted the bulb as I had read so many good reviews before the issues began. I think its fair to say I had been patient!

Didn't I read on another thread that there was a new UV/Heat bulb coming out soon made by a different manufacturer?

I have been using another bulb which is the Vitalux 300Watt. The thing with that one is that it is very powerful and can only be used on quite a big area. I'm using it only for a very bright and high UV effect for midday for two hours and I am relying on a 120Watt megaray and a halogen lamp for the rest of the day.
So the Vitalux is not really an alternative to the MegaRay which is a shame because it works very well and I have had no problem with it at all. If they made a 150Watt version of it they would be doing great business because its a very reliable product as far as I know.

Hey all, I got my MR from Reptilekeeping.co.uk (ask for Paul). He despatched it for next day delivery and it came in the specified time. But remember Reptilekeeping get their bulbs from Kimbos. Kimbos are the UK stockist and the other sites are just buying from Dazza. Its not that they have their stock shipped from US to them and its a separate batch from Kimbos.
But in terms of service - (this was before all the panic over last month or so) Reptilekeeping were execellent and I would buy from them again. As Al has said the Komodo UV-Sun and the T-rex Active Flood are made by Westron and are the same people who make the Mega Ray. We just have to be patient with Arcadia and hopefully they will come through. They will have a good customer base from the off - if only nicking customers from all the pee'd off people who bought MR's!! I agree with Al and just buy the most reliable one like the Solar Glo but just bear in mind to replace once MR get their act together. I also will say again, to if you can afford to get one of the UV output readers such as the solarmeter 6.2. It is about £125 but at the end of the day - hey your bulb might work...but who is to say that there is any UV coming out of it!!! End of month this little gadget is exactly what I am gonna get as I GOTTA KNOW whether my bulb is doing what it should. |
