lights

So basically i'm looking for a good lighting option for my future 18 by 18 by 36 viv. I've heard good things about the Aqua Illumination Fresh Water, has anyone worked with it?

Hey everyone! :D First post!! Guess its official now!! This is my first terrarium / Vivarium build ever... Had a few questions on lighting and discovered I needed to post twice here before I could post anywhere else. :rolleyes: but I understand... The tank is going to be 28x28x36(high) living...

Hi - I don't post often, but I wanted to call out this light that I saw buried in another thread, and which I purchased recently to replace a broken Kessil A380WE "sun" light. The light output from these is not as intense, but visually very similar to the Kessil. GLW® 30w 110v Outdoor Led...

Hello everyone, I had an inquiry about lighting. i have an 12x18x12 with broms and everything. Im looking for a low price led light fixture that will make the broms pop but am having a hard time. A friend of mine has a Exo Terra : Day & Night LED / Low Energy Lighting Device that he uses for his...

Hello Everyone, I haven't been on the forum for a while but am in the process of replacing two of my Verts with new tanks. I want to know what people would recommend for lighting as LED technology is chaining so fast. What LEDs are people using that would provide sufficient light in a 20...

Hello, Does anyone have any experience with the Kessil LED's (Amazon Sun or Tuna Sun)? I am wondering if the Amazon Sun would work for an 18x18x24 Zoomed, I currently have an Exo Terra hood with two CFL's and want something less obtrusive above the Vivarium. The light would have to support...

Hi. I've got a exo terra 3 lightbulb ramp (PT2227). The problem I have with them is they only have one light switch, and that there's no real way to plug in a light cycle unit on them. Has anyone ever hacked one of these ramps to either: - add another light switch? - add another output cord so...

So I am finishing up my vivarium and am now getting ready to plant and have proper lighting. Will 2 of the 15W 14" Grow and Glow bulbs be enough for my 40 gallon breeder?!?!? Thanks to all who look and or respond!

So the hardscaping is all done for my vivarium (first one!) and now here comes the lighting question. I was considering the 36" exo terra top, mounted in the middle of the tank and using Jungle Dawn 15w LED bulbs in the fixture. Anyone have any experience with either of these two? Or have any...

im looking for a light fixture that come with brackets to mount to my 30" long tank. i know theres a t5 light fixture that comes with brackets but you cant connect the brackets if you have a lid. i have a custom glass lid with vents on both sides. i want to avoid hanging the fixture from the...

Hello, I was wondering if i should keep the lights on my new viv on 24hrs a day to help everything grow out faster. There are no animals in there yet, but ill have to move it away from my other viv so the light will bother my green tree frog. The only concern i have is of the temp going up to...

Hi All, I'm planning on purchasing a ReptiTemp 500R as an emergency thermostat to turn off the lights if my viv gets too hot. Is anyone actually using one to do this? They're pretty cheap (around $25). I don't hear too much about them so I'm wondering if it wouldn't work well for this...
