My wife insisted on white enclosures with white LEDs. I was just ecstatic she was approving me dropping over $1,700 on enclosures lol. So I figured she could pick them. I picked the size and how I wanted them set up. She can pick the colors lol.

Probably wouldn't be the best idea to put the white LEDs on a timer so that they illuminate all night I would think. I don't want to mess up their internal clock since they're nocturnal. Sucks but it is what it is.

Happy wife - happy life...good for you man LOL

I read all light, other than natural circadian of course, bugs them AFTER I ordered the LED's on Amazon....oh well - spend and learn. I still installed them, wasn't happy, and never turn 'em on. I chalked it up to my inexperience, I wanted different colors, got fancy, and fell flat....lots to learn as I only got into snake ownership in November and now have 4 with a few more on the "to get" list. Sure wish I got into them sooner, and before I got hooked on craft brews and wasted thousands of dollars on beer, some of which I'm still trying to sell. I've financed all the enclosures, RHP's, snakes, and other supplies on the sale of most of my beer cellar, still more to get rid of too.

Don't let my mistake deter you, was just sharing my experience with inexperience LOL I am MORE than satisfied with the AP enclosures, it was MY decision that I'm not pleased with.
