    LED Lighting?
    I am looking for a good night light to use for a 4x2x1 boamaster enclosure. I havnt seen one online yet, so I'm wondering if anyone has these and where they got them from. Thanks!

    You can get LED strips on amazon. You can get them in one color or color changing. You can buy them in a certain size strip or a whole roll. The ones I've seen you have to buy the power supply separate and you can also get a djmmer for them.

    That's just a led strip in a protected case correct? Thats what it looks like to me. If so you can get a whole 16.4ft water proof roll of the led strips for only $13 plus power supply. The protective cover is nice on the one above if you have to submerge it in water or if your snake knocks into it but if you don't have to submerge it in water you could find something to protect it from your snake bumping into it and causing damage.

    Not a strip. It is a small housing. Or I guess it is a strip in a case, I'm not really sure.

    No power supply needed. Plug and go.

    It's a nice option and yes completely waterproof.

    They are nice! I need led lighting for a cage but since you posted that for the op I need to decide if I wanna buy a roll from amazon and do all my cages or buy one of those for each one. Oh great now I have to think lol

    I found these about 3 years ago and thought they seemed simple enough. I didn't like their mounts so I made my own.

    They seem reliable and bullet proof.

    They throw off a decent amount of light, but my photos make them appear brighter because I have the shutter open.

    The snakes do well with them.
