Animal Plastics LED Option
I'm curious how Animal Plastic owners control the LED lights inside their enclosures. For instance, my lights consist of two cords separated by a female and male plug. One end is plugged into the electrical outlet and the other is connected to the actual LED light strip. In order to turn them on, I have to connect the male/female sections which is sort of a hassle.
I've heard some talk about control boxes and/or remotes so I'm curious what options are out there. I'm also 'considering' a timer because my lights are NEVER on (and yes, I realize lights only benefit the owner). Also it would be nice to incorporate multiple enclosures on one light switch/remote.

I just placed an order for a stack of T10s with LED's. You should be able to find either a dimmer or remote type setup on Amazon, but what I think I'm gonna do is plug them them all into a power strip hung on the wall next to them, and use the switch on the strip as an on/off switch. Doesn't give me individual control, but believe it will suit my needs

A stack of T10s? That's going to look really nice! I'll search a little on Amazon to see what I can find. I remember seeing someone have a remote on here and wasn't sure if it had come w/ the AP LED order.

Thanks, it's going to be a dream come true. I've been waiting to order them for a long time and I finally did it.
I have remotes for the LEDs in 2 of my cages, my boaphile and my vision cage, but those lights I installed myself and bought them on Amazon. I don't actually know what the AP lights really look like until I get them, but I'm assuming if I plug them all into a power strip I can control it with the switch that is already on the power strip and there really is no need for a remote
