Vivarium Lighting: Zoo Med

NEHERP Staff Description:

These 2'nd generation Reptisun LEDs are a solid performing solution packed with features we've been looking for in an inexpensive high-PAR light source. These LEDs grow plants beautifully, as tested & proven by the 15 vivarium Zoo Med rack display we built for our showroom. The built-in timer with sunrise and sunset settings allows for gradual, calming, and natural effect for the inhabitants (and you) each morning & evening. The best part for us is the remote, which is easy to use and more reliable than other brands which rely on bluetooth and wifi connectivity. With extendable legs, an ideal 5000K color temperature, and a dimmable daylight setting, these LEDs are currently our favorite adjustable LED units. If you are looking for all these features and UVB, check out the Reptisun LED UVB Bar instead.
