Need lighting suggestions for a T10 with shelf?
Hi guys! I've just gotten my first AP cage in the mail and would like your suggestions on what type of light fixture to use. I know LED lights stay cooler, so I was hoping to use one of those, but am unsure on whether to go with puck lights or a strip fixture.. I am also not sure if it being "water proof" would be necessary or not.
Also, if anyone here has mounted one inside an AP cage that has a shelf, I would love your input on where to mount it...i.e. back center, middle center, etc.
Any input you have would be greatly appreciated. I am getting a second AP cage in the mail soon as well, so I'm hoping to use the same light fixture on both.

I had AP install the recessed led strips in my T8s. I prefer the red ones. You can also buy the multi colored strips and install them yourself.

We use LED aquarium lights. IIRC the ones we use aren't completely waterproof, but are water-resistant; which is nice for misting and cleaning without worrying about overspray. We mount them as Sauzo suggested up front behind the overhang, so they are out of sight.
If you go with aquarium lights, it simplifies mounting if they can be retrofit into an existing hood or otherwise mounted to something above. Some aquarium lights assume the only way to use them is perching on legs going down to the tank.
