They've been known to give off more heat than standard basking bulbs you get at a petshop....at least, more heat for the wattage I guess. Plus the flood bulbs give a wider basking spot, allowing the animals to get their whole bodies under the heat. I haven't tried them yet, but I plan on doing so when I build the new enclosures.
Also, for anyone that's thinking about using halogens, get the flood bulbs, not the spot bulbs. Spot bulbs concentrate all of the heat into one spot and can actually cause burns.
