Recommendations for interior lighting for display cages?

I would like to know what sorts of lights you recommend to light display enclosures. I have a couple random bar lights that have just left me dissapointed. One just stoped working all together and the other one will not turn on by a timer, so despite having it on a timer I have to reach inside the cage every morning to turn it on. Because of this i had started just leaving the blinds open and relying on the ambient light but as we are approaching winter I am finding that the snakes are just growing more and more lethargic and their appetites have dropped so much that its a little concerning. So please, if anyone has a light they like that works well inside the enclosure and will take to a timer please let me know. Bonus points if you can provide me a link.

What kind of enclosure are you using?

Custom made plywood enclosures.

I have the Animal Plastics T8 & T100 enclosures. And, I had AP put in their LED lights, the strip ones. Very soon, I am going to be building my own enclosure, and I think the LED strip lights that you can pick up from Amazon would work nice. I think they might have smart ones too, but I don't think the cost is warranted if the smart ones are too much more. I'm not speaking from experience, only from the creative mind. Although, I have used those strip lights (not on reptiles) and they seem like they would work exceptionally well for that purpose.

with regards to the LED lights, would you use regular ones or opt for waterproof ones? I found a set of dimmable white LED strip lights but they are not waterproof. I rather not use the RGB ones as they do not have a true white color to them.

Waterproof all the way. Not worth the risk with electrical items

Just doing a random search on Amazon, these here look like waterproof and 6000K light. I think that would be a true white?
