Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I stopped by Lowes yesterday and saw a product we might get a lot of use from.
It's an under-cabinet LED light. A dome shaped disk about 4" in diameter with I guess about 15 or so LED's poking out of it. It gave off a very white (blueish) light. Cost was $16e for one. Mounting instructions seemed to be via screws through the inside, but it weighed almost nothing, so strong double-sided tape could be used in plastic cages.
It comes with a power cord with no plug attached, which allows you to customize the cord length before you attach the plug to it.
For me, this looks like a great solution to inside cage lighting/power consumption. It may not fit for all, and it has it's pro's and cons, but it certainly puts a twist on the current solutions with bulky flourescent tubes or hot incandescent bulbs.

I did a quick browse on the forum for this, sorry if it's a repost.

I assume you mean to use these for cage utility lighting so you can see in the cage, rather than for heat or UV or for an eye-pleasing display.

These units use relatively little electricity and produce hardly any heat (the opposite of halogens), and as you mentioned are super light in weight. But, the light is very "electronic" looking.

Let us know how it works out.

Yeah, you stated all of that in your original post, and you did state that it was for utility lighting. Oh well. Still, let us know if you use it.
