    Hmm well dang. Yeah, see i'd rather have a brighter white than color change. If I need to see inside the cages at night, I just turn on the flashlight. The snakes don't seem to care actually lol.

    The sets I have are something like this. Every color you could need, dirt cheap, work fine. Have only had one issue in the last year of using them and that was when one of the power adapters kicked the bucket but I had a spare power adapter from an air mattress pump that I use now. Aside from that, I like them. Not as crisp of a white light option as yours but I'd prefer to have the color changing option so I can look in the cages at night without bugging the critters too much over just a good daytime light

    They have a white light though right? I didn't see it in the pics, just the psychedelic lighting lol. I sure don't want a disco lightshow in the snake cages. And they fit in the standard routing channel? And I'm assuming since its like 16ft, you can cut them to fit 4 cages? I mean they got enough connectors?

    Also any chance you can take a pic of it installed from the outside top of the cage JM? Does it sit flush in the channel on the outside so I can still stack cages even with that remote inline?

    There are pics in my gallery from last summer of them installed. And yeah, if you prefer solid white lights just order a white set lol. And they're not a crazy disco light show unless you set them to the strobe setting. I really only use red and white.
    You'd have to get some adapters and stuff to make a full 4 sets out of the 16' strip though. I got two out of one strip because there's connection pins for both ends of it. Just snip them to the length you need with scissors, they're marked where to cut.

    Lots of options.

    I have 18" versions of these. I screw them into the top of the cages. On the fixture itself you can use a brighter or dimmer setting. I just use the dim and put the lights on timers. I plug my moonlights in on my own. If I want in cage pictures I reach in and click the brighter setting, but usually leave them at low all of the time.

    Nothing waterproof on this light but I spray my cages a bit during shed cycles and haven't any issues in the last 4 years.

    No outages or diode failures to this point.

    Lighting is redesigned often so I may not find the same lights for the new cage.

    I like the idea JM has with a strip that has whites, blues and greens at the push of a button. "One light fits all" system!

    If you find something great please share!

    Well I talked to Ali and she is sending me out 3 sets of replacement lighting for free. Awesome customer service. And I finally broke down and ordered one of three of the T25s I need. So now the wait until around mid July lol.

    Lol I ordered 1 T25 today and going to actually add a 2nd one tomorrow since it will only cost me $31 more in shipping. The third one for Vicky will have to wait until later but she doesn't really need one right now anyways.

    If you don't mind me asking, what's options did you get? What was the total with shipping?

    I always order them the same. Sliding glass doors, locks, shelf, flexwatt, LEDs installed. The shipping for one was $228 and the shipping for 2 was $259. So you save a ton by ordering more. Shipping for three would be even cheaper but I don't want to end up living in the third one haha. I ordered one for Rosey and one for Caesar. Vicky is only about 5' so she still works in a T10 but I'll get her a T25 as well probably end of summer or fall.

    If you live on the east side of the mountains, it's cheaper I guess to ship. Ali was telling me the price for shipping jumps up when you go west of the mountains.
