ESU only rates these at 3.0% uvb and the recommendation for most chams is 5.0%. You may want one that is like it in price, but just make sure that you are getting one that generates the 5.0% uvb.

The Reptisun 5.0s, and Powersuns have been proven over time and the ESU hasn't. That's why I don't think you see too many keepers using them.
