They're just a much better, gentler, and longer lasting heating element.
I have a 36x24x24 AP cage with an RHP, and w/o the thermostat, it heats the basking shelf (halfway down the cage) to about 110!
I did a little math... When I use Reptisun 10.0s I buy my heat lamps from the dollar store for... well, a dollar... They last anywhere from 6 months to a year ( Lets say 6 months...) Thats $2 a year, beardies live on average 8-15 years... so lets say 15, thats $30 I would spend on bulbs its entire life, and so far ive no blow outs ( I like to replace them once they hit 8 months) SO... you could buy 30+ years worth of bulbs for the price of a RHP... cheaper? Yes...Safter? ?No problems so far! Beardies ( Who is an australian lizard, they like the sun...) love them! but again like my above post if it works why not? I just like to stick to the book and keep everything...ordinary.
