I got some new lighting because the flourescent strip lights have proved themselves pointless.

VERY NICE setups. Does that type of cage come in a tall arboreal? Nobody is making the types of cages I need for my annulatus and ruschenbergerii.
As far as your lights go, are they somewhat cool temp lights? I would like to augment my existing heat lamps but not drastically increase temps in the process.

Thanks,

AP makes cages up to 6ft tall I believe. A cage I am looking forward to getting soon is a 6(l)x2(d)x4(h).

The lights give off less heat than the flourescent strip lights I had before. Flourescent lights are supposed to give off no heat, but the dang ballist seems to get quite hot (and extremely hot on the ends. These new lights not only give off less heat, but take up much less space that is giving off any heat.

The only thing I would say is a downfall so far is that they aren't as bright, but I actually think that is a benefit on the eyes of the animals, and they are small enough to add more if you wanted without even matching the temperature a flourescent strip would be.

I'm totally sold on them. I bought a 3 pack to try them out, and not long after giving them a trial run I went out and replaced all my cage lights with them. I will let you know if I end up with any problems though.

Thanks for the info-pls shoot me a PM when you have made a determination one way or the other. I think my Vision 6'ers and Visionarium would benefit from these. It would also allow me to move some of the ceiling lights around to take better advantage of their light.

Best regards,
Jeff

What kind of lights are those and where did you get them? Do you know the color temperature? Thanks,

They are LED Puck Lights from Home Depot. I do not know the color temperature. The manual says Z denotes color, but they do not give a kelvin number.
