LED light bar in PVC enclosure
Have been away for a while, but here's my question. I have a 36" x 24" x 14" Boamaster PVC cage, and want to add an LED light strip inside, just for viewing, easier maintenance, and I can just run the cord out of the side. Was wondering if anyone could tell me what they think if this product would be a good one to use:
https://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesaler...7&sr=8-49&th=1
I like this one because its slim so I can hide it behind the substrate dam in the front top, and has a switch on the power cord, rather than on the actual light fixture, so I won't have to open the enclosure to turn on the light. I have never put lights in the cage, so my main concern is just it being damaged by humidity.
Can anyone tell me what they think of this? Or anyone who has experience doing this suggest a different product?
Thanks!

A have a small battery powered one with 2 brightness setting form a hardware store that I screwed to the inside top of my homemade enclosure. Let's it up good and no cord. Figure the 3 AA batteries should last a long time.

0.1 Super Pastel Lesser Ball Python
1.0 Pastel Bamboo Ball Python
0.0.1 Halmahera Blue Tongue Skink
0.0.2 Crested Gecko
1.2.Guinea Pigs

Re: LED light bar in PVC enclosure
Thanks Gunkle!
I was hoping to get one on amazon, just because I have some money on a gift card from there. But, I think the best thing might be just to go to Lowes and check out some of the LED under cabinet lights in person.

I have 3 bars and outfitted the last cage with LED tape. The bars came from Home Depot I believe. They are 18" strips.
Here is where I mounted the bar in the carpet cage.
There is also a Moonlight LED mounted here (blue).
The oldest strip I have here is 6 years and is still going strong.
I put them toward the back of the cages which keeps the light somewhat indirect.
Good luck!
