new Acradia and Jungle Dawn lighting

[Hoj]

so i made the pluge and got some of the Arcadia T5HO 12% and the new Jungle Dawn L.E.D lights.
i am using them on my main downstairs setups with the veileds and panthers. And so far have Camo and Gizmo cages set up.

so they came form Maine up here to the great North and made the trip safe and sound due to some crazy packing job.
Took me at least 20min the get at my stuff and i was excited LoL,

and all the paking once it was opened.... whew LoL

well now to the good stuff.
i recived:
2 46" T5HO Arcadia 12% with the fixtures.
2 44" Jungle Dawn L.E.D Bars. with 100w dyi power kit.
1 Jungle Dawn screw in L.E.D

a few shots of the L.E.D bars these are brand new and use 5.5k, 6.5k, and 7.5k L.E.D's to achieve a great spectrum for plant growth and overall cage appearance. they are an all aluminum body, epoxy sealed for water resistance and desinged to be used in seriers where needed.

here you can see both the L.E.D bars and the uvb fixtures, the fixtures are reflective and have a low profile and pass through to connect 2 fixtures together, which makes for a nice setup.

the power supply, this is a more raw dyi version but it handles more power so i went with it, i belive there is a simpler cleaner style unit available.

one lit up, ( hard to photograph )

tomorrow i will try and get a few shots up of the lights on the cages and the uvb reading from these lights. they will blow your mind

So this is what true jealousy feels like. Lol congrats! Happy you can provide the top notch care for your chams

Great photo series, thanks for all the details. Can't wait to see it all in place. I am really interested in those lights so it is nice to get a test run to see what you think.

oh yea Hoj...
those felt-y feet are for the transformer. They raise it up so air can flow underneath.
I forgot to mention that when we spoke.... but you probably already figured that out anyway.

And yes....
I think folks will be most surprised at just what an Arcadia HO T5 bulb can do when you publish your Solarmeter readings!

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Todd

They really are great! I am hoping to get a solarmeter soon but even though I dont have one I know they are great! They give off so much light and uv that can only benefit our animals.

If you bought from Todd he does a really great job at packaging everything.

I noticed it took me 30 minutes to take out a 100watt night time bulb LOL

 

[Psychobunny]

After using the Reptisun T8 5% tubes w/ ZooMed fixture for so long, I decided to give Arcadia D3 6% HO 22'' tube and high output fixture a try.

Ordered 2 sets plus a Solarmeter 6.5.

Cant wait to test these out and maybe do a little review

 

[Dean Pulcini]

Looks complecated!!!!

 

[reptoman]

Hoj, did you ever post pics after setting this up over your cages?

 

[Kate]

I started using t5 last year. My live plants seem to do better.

 

[ataraxia]

Where are your readings hoj!!!!!!????!!!!!! Cant count on these mods for anything! lol j/k

Im also really interested in the lumens these lights put out.

Hi Hoj...
Its me Todd!
Hey, do you have a picture of this set-up with just the Jungle Dawn™ led bar on as a dawn or dusk light?
If its not too much to ask.
I had a customer wanting to use the regular out-put bars on timers for dawn to dusk on an 8 foot cage but she was hoping to get some sort of "visual" ... and I don't have that in my arsenal of product pics!
Thanks!
Todd
