I used the adhesive on the back of the strips to attach them to the top of my T8 right behind the fluorescent lights (in hindsight, I would have been better off mounting them in front of the fluorescent tubes because the tubes shield the light a bit). Just in case the adhesive ever gives out, I screwed some metal brackets (the type used to hold mirrors in place) over the LED light strips in various places. My 11 year-old son had the great idea of putting the LED control box in the empty spot in the fluorescent light that is between the light and the top of the T8 (the infrared sensor tangles out). I'll try to post some photos later this week so you all can see what I did. The light strip is working great to provide us with some night-time viewing of the BPs. Thanks for tip, arialmt!
Just trying to picture how you did this in my mind... The LED strips are mounted with adhesive inside the plastic cover for the fluorescent lights from AP? I might need to look into doing this. I see a more stable temperature during the time that the fluorescent lights are off than when they are on during the day. It's not a swing that I'm terribly concerned about, but the more stability I can introduce into my enclosures, the happier both myself and my animals will be. Thanks for your clarification in advance!
