Questions on heat for enclosure build

How would you heat something like this? And does anyone have any experience with led lighting ?

If those stack come apart, you should be able to use heat tape....
Who are they made by?

I don't have this rack but would be building something similar. Would the heat tape go between the units or inside the unit

Depending on the material you are using, Heat tape would be applied to the bottom of the units, on the outside of the enclosure... Assuming you are going with plastic of some kind. That would give you the hot spots you need, and if your room temperatures are in the 70's, that is probably all you would need.

If building from wood, or melamine, or something similiar, Heat tape will likely not be sufficient as it won't be able to heat through the wood. In that case, RHP's (radiant heat panels" that would be mounted inside the cage, on the ceiling, would probably be your best bet.

Thank you so much for the info. If I used wood then made a tract for the heat tape with a router I could probably use some plastic to cover the whole thing up. Also thinking of putting stucco on the inside.

Heat tape NEVER goes inside.

Ah I see. Yea probably an accident just waiting to happen. But hey that's why I posted here. So I don't make any bone head mistakes
