Re: LED setup in a AP-T12
Lowes is now carring this. It will be awhile but in the future i will probably build another bookcase enclosure for my brooks king and this might be cool in it.

Re: LED setup in a AP-T12
I think it said there are 2 strips each about 2 feet long. The. Extra strips on the left are 4 feet. I dont remeber if there are 2 or not.
I hope that this will turn on using a timer because this would again be my night lighting.
Re: LED setup in a AP-T12
Each box has 2 each 2 ft. strips. The box on the right has everything you need including a remote control to change between 16 different colors. The box on the left is an extension kit only. This was a Fathers Day present that I got!

Have you set it up yet and would it turn on with a timer?
That reminds me, i still need to order my fathers day gift lol.
Re: LED setup in a AP-T12
I have not set it up yet. I am hoping it will turn on with a timer. I do know for a fact that the only way you can cycle the colors is with the remote. It would be really cool if a timer would work the day time white and night time red. That would take 2 set ups......hmmmm, I have a birthday coming up!!!!
Re: LED setup in a AP-T12
If you get a chance and are able to see what it will do plugged into a timer, please post. I am interested in it as well.
Re: LED setup in a AP-T12
Hopefully I will be putting it in my newly built enclosure Saturday. I will let you know how it works out.

I'm not done with the installation yet, but they will turn on and off with a timer. These are so cool!!! The only thing I wish is that you could time the daylight and night light. I will try to post some pics of my new enclosure with the lights later today.
Re: LED setup in a AP-T12
Sweet. I wish one set would work for day and night lighting so there would be less to install in an enclosure but i guess cant have it all. Plus the led light bars in the same section work for day lighting. Cant wait to see the pics.

It's still not finished. I still have a lot to do inside. I have 2 Intellitemp heat mats. One large one for the warm side and a medium for the small side. I have a CHE that goes in the top as well as TSTATS and lots of Devore to clutter it up a bit.
These lights are the greatest. I used the starter kit which has 4 feet of lights and one additional kit with 3 feet for a total of 7 feet around the very top inside.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/29/y9uqyjun.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/29/ebuvezab.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/29/sene8anu.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/29/ja4uqyvu.jpg

You have me looking at the RHP's now. I was going to wait a bit before spending the money, but I'm sure you know how this addiction works....Got To Have It NOW!! What size would you recommend for my enclosure? I was looking at the Reptile Basic 160 watt. My enclosure is 48 x 24 x 24. The 160 watt measures to be 42.5 x 12.5 x 1.75. Would this be an overkill? Would the 120 watt heat it well enough? I'm just not experienced with RHP's and have never used one. Right now I have a 150 watt CHE that keeps the warm side at 83 and the cool side at 77. There is also Intellitemp heat mats on each side set at 90. I'm thinking the 160 watt would have both sides warm with no cool side. Would a smaller one keep the warm side warm enough without the cool side being too cool?

I think a 120 watt RHP will be just fine. I have an Animal Plastic T12 (48x24x24) and I have two 80 watt RHPs because the enclosure is split for two snakes and the RHPs barely ever come on. So I think a 120 watt will be just perfect. I think once you get the RHP, you'll never go back to CHE. ;)
The important part with RHPs is to have it on a good thermostat because that will control your RHP to turn on and off without you worrying about checking temps once you set it up. If you don't have one yet, I'd personally suggest getting a Herpstat model. I have the thermostat probe hang down right in the middle of the enclosure and it keeps my terrarium at a constant 80 degrees.

No worries. Tell me how it goes. Definitely post a photo once you get the RHP installed if you decide to go that route.

If I understand correctly, the RHP is mounted to the warm side and the probe is on the cool side? This makes perfect sense!!! I didn't think about that.
What or do you have for belly heat?
Re: LED setup in a AP-T12
Pic are 1000 words! My panel,

My herpstat 2. My tablet bdoes not have a flash,sorry,

The acu rite/ walmart thermometer/humidity, plus my tentant lolhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/02/aruvypuq.jpg
The probe from the herpstat that controls the rhp. It on the back wall on the cold side and i make sure that it is in the open. The guy @ Pro-products told about this way and so i tried it and it works good. Just takes little long to dial in the temp.

Re: LED setup in a AP-T12
Sorry did not see the belly heat part. I cutbout the floor and installed a tile with a uth on it. 2nd probe from herpstat controls it. My snake like it cold though and only hangs out on the hot side for about 6-10 hours after she eats then she goes back to the cold side

Re: LED setup in a AP-T12
I really like the LEDs the OP set up and am going to invest in them for my new setup. Big question...can snakes see the colors? Red? Blue? Etc...

Thanks! I appreciate it. The kit is definitely worth it.
Regarding what colors BPs can see, there's a short answer and a long answer. Choose your poison ;)
