    It doesn't have it's own timer function built in correct? I would have to change it from day to night myself or is there anyway to have the kit do it by itself?

    No, unfortunately it doesn't. You have to switch the color manually on the controller.

    Thanks for the info. So between this & the Acadia moonlight led, if you know about that, which do you think is or would be better for use as night time lighting?

    No problem at all. I checked out the arcadia moonlight LEDs (I never heard of it before) and I think you'll get a bigger bang for you buck with the accent LED lights just because you get 4 individual lamps. Plus, I like the fact that the accent lights have like 14 different modes of colors including some dimming ones.

    However, I don't know how waterproof the accent lights are. I've been misting a decent amount since one of my BPs is on the verge of shedding and so far, so good.

    These are all the color setting available:

    Here is a link if it works( still learning tapatalk ) of my new enclosure. I am leaning towards the accent because I can use the other light bars in other sections. I have a day\ night timer to setup the lights. The 24" led bar from Lowe's is on in the new picture.

    That's a bada$$ enclosure! Good job!

    If you're going to go with the accent lighting, two of the light bars would light it pretty nicely . Then you can use the other two for something else.

    are these led units water proof? or at least moisture resistant?

    Np. I think you're on the right track. Is it just going to be one terrarium with two shelves?

    I don't know if they're waterproof, but half of my Animal Plastic T12 is at 62% humidity and so far the LEDs are working just fine.

    They look like well closed so I don't think the moisture is going in the LEDs but only time will tell.
