The AP LED lights are $40. I think you can red, blue, or white. They don't change color and are just on or off. I'll likely set mine on a timer, and I believe you can run them on a dimmer if you want. They do a nice job with them. They cut about a 1/4" wide channel in the roof of the enclosure and the LED strip sits inside that groove. Then they drill a hole out the top with a channel for the power cord to come out and lay. Very neat and tidy, and you can stack another cage on top and it will still sit flush.
Like I said, if you want to change the colors, I'd get the kit on Amazon, and wire it up yourself. I liked the white LED's and honestly, it was worth the extra $20 in my opinion to just have it done and me not have to worry about it. I guess I took the lazy approach. I can try to get some pictures tonight or tomorrow.
Re: Animal Plastics and T8 question
Couldn't be happier with my two T8's and will be ordering two more probably late summer when our 2 young girls are ready for bigger enclosures. I'm running Pro products RHP with herpstats and they are awesome. Cant remember what wattage though.
Not only a great product but AWESOME folks to deal with, can't say enough good about them their just super folks!!!

Those lights look awesome. I think I'm going to go the lazy approach too and just have them install it. You have a great looking setup thanks for the picture!

Absolutely love mine, actually just ordered another one. They look great, keep heat and humidity perfect and you can order them however you'd like. Customer service is great too.
Re: Animal Plastics and T8 question
We have two T8s with sliding glass doors, and two more on order (along with 2 A20s and a T12). We're very happy with them. When I asked about glass vs. plastic doors, Ali recommended the glass, as it is more scratch-resistant. Aspen does end up in the tracks (because...aspen), but feeding tongs or the shop-vac take care of that if there's enough to be a problem.
