    Sorry I thought I provided a link.

    The fun little stuff on the top is a battery operated fiber optic light not related to the cage.

    This shot is in the very early stages of the snake room, but it shows how the light looks on its own.

    Damn that thing gives off a lot of light for how small it looks! And cheep to that actually might be an option. You just got one of them in there?

    Yeah, just one.

    I think it is a little deceiving as to how much light is given off.

    This is a little more true representation. Room lights on and dim, white cage LED light on as well.

    You can see it does not over power the regular cage LED light.

    Just the blue in this shot but I think I have 1 room light on as well. I had to enhance the picture here to get more light to see the boa.

    Maybe for the decent prices go with blue and red. Mix it up for fun!

    They are really not bright.

    I usually have to open the shutter on the camera or use a room backlight to get good pictures.

    I have a regular cage light on here and the blue LED here. You can see it is fairly mellow.

    I can't imagine the red would be overly bright.

    Hmm might keep with trying the red filter trick first then. Need to buy another light bar anyway so might at well test my trick way first. But that's definitely on my list
