T8 lighting solutions

AP will cut the channel for you for $5 fyi.

Unless they lowered the cost for cutting the light channel it's $10/cage. I had them do that for me last May. Well worth it to have a larger range of options with my own color changing LEDs

I use an LED RGBW light strip fastened to the entire top perimeter, with a programmable controller. I like that I can set the white and red LEDs to each be on for 12 hours with a sunrise and sunset (brightening and dimming over the course of an hour). you need the plastic clips that screw into the PVC (ask me how I know). They are super bright. I have the white lights at 7% at the height of the day and the red at 3% in the beginning of the evening and going to 2% after Midnight. Even with the red LEDs at 2%, I can see the entire inside of the enclosure.

Thats a gorgeous set up. Nice job

thanks for the advice; this is probably how i'll go about it. should be fairly simple: a hole and some silicone "gluing." i probably have some silicone lying around the house, actually.

It's easy enough to do and you can always peal it off if you wanted to change something. If your indecisive like me you'll like that option alone hahahahaha

Ordered in October and again two weeks ago, $5 for the channel, they're installing rhp from pro products (they do this for free) and also are cutting an additional cord channel for me to run t-stat probe. Truly one of the best companies have ever dealt with.

Where are they cutting the cord channel for the probe? I may have them do that the next time i order. Also free or no?

No charge. I had them cut it as close to the rhp cord channel as they could as I use a hot spot. I'm sure they would wherever as long as no structural issues.

Nice to know but too much for me. I just go old school with flexwatt on all my cages and them installing the lights lol. I used to use RHPs but for my set ups, they couldn't maintain a low 90 hot spot without heating up the cool side to around 83F which imo is too hot. I like my cool spots around 78-80F. Here's my T10 stack. Going to do a 4 stack of T8s next to it and then 3 or 4 T25s next to that And you can see Caesar sitting there waiting for dinner like usual.
