Lamps I use in this video 💡Lumenize LED Bar tidd.ly/3Reoab1 and Lumenize UVB Kit tidd.ly/3MUixfq
US Keepers - Lumenize is on it's way, there was a hold up in shipping, Arcadia was hoping it'd all be released on the same day. Hold tight, it should be with you in a few weeks. :)
Great to hear! I've been turning on room lights on and off a half hour before tank lights but this will be so much better! Can't wait for them to arrive in the US.
if i wanted to get some of these for my leopard gecko and crested gecko what would you recommend, and is a dhp good for crested geckos
This is cool. With my Leo, I set up my timers so that the UVB lamps would shut off about 30 mins before the LED, to at least get a rough semblance of a dusk. Would do it in reverse for dawn. This is so much better. Especially with crepuscular species.
I just wanted to say that you’re videos helped me with my leopard gecko and he’s been doing amazing
These look amazing, thank you for showing how they work and the benefits they have for flora and fauna. I have a 4 foot vivarium from Viperia to set up and I will definitely do that with these lights so my Leo can move into her new home with a more natural day-night cycle, including dawn and dusk, when she currently has.
Ooo that sounds amazing. With a 4ft tank you might want a slightly longer LED than me, but yeah should be great!
@@leopardgeckotalkHello! Please tell me, what Arcadia supplements should I use for an adult leopard gecko? I don't have UV lighting. My leo has Enigma syndrome. She is almost 9 years old. If I use EarthPro-A, RevitaliseD3 and CalciumPro-Mg, how often should I give each of them? Could my leopard gecko develop a vitamin D3 deficiency because RevitaliseD3 contains a low dose of this vitamin? Thank you!
Amazing technology and exactly why I love Arcadia products. Really looking forward to being able to give this to my animals as well
Oh wow! WOW, This seems so interesting! This looks especially handy for crepuscular species. I would love to own this in the future, wow! 👏Your reviews are sooo helpful. Can’t ever own a leopard gecko without watching your videos!
Aww thank you!! :)
What lamp do you recommend for ball pythons?
This is what I’m hoping to put into my new enclosure.
Have an old 4x2x2 beardie enclosure that’s been empty for years and just planning a Leo mansion. Love the idea of dawn and dusk for both the Leo and the plants!
Just got the light and heat hardware today in fact! Best part is I used Amazon gift cards for all!
Going with:
Arcadia Jungle Dawn 35w
Arcadia Shade dweller 7% T5
Arcadia DHP 50w
All will be inside enclosure….
Also got myself an Exo-Terra nano tall since I’m now absolutely obsessed with jumping spiders too 😂. Plan on keeping my eyes open for them and will use a little deli cup until they are appropriate size for the Nano (it was on sale so snagged it w my points).
I love your videos, you're the only reason why I have a Leopard Gecko when I found your channel I watch all your videos of the leopard geckos I love it
Aw thank you so much :)
Unrelated to video topic; I came to this channel 2 years ago to prepare and learn about Leos before getting one. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge, my little guy is thriving and healthy and it’s because of you ❤
Can’t wait to try the system out but will have to choose which animals to try it on.
Really great to see this come to the market
Woooo :D Yeah it was tricky trying to decide which leo gets to try it first haha
i was literally wishing for a gradual on off lighting system the other day. look forward to when they're available!
Yayy!
These look amazing! I love the current gen Arcadia jungle dawn and shadedweller, and I have them on an on/off timer, but I’ve really wanted a product like this. Something to recreate sunrise and sunset. Amazing
I’ve tried looking on google, any idea when they’ll be available in the US?
Yes, there's been a delay in shipment, out of arcadia's control. But they should be available in a few weeks. If you follow the arcadia page I'm sure we'll post once they've arrived :)
@@leopardgeckotalk fantastic! Thanks! I can’t wait to get these and try them out!!!
Wow! Those lights are awesome!
Getting a backdated raise and know where that extra money is going now! Will definitely use your links 😊
Wooo and thank you!! :D
Can't to see more about this light and how it is helping the gecko's and... not going to lie... this light is making me want to get a gecko, and or plant some plants too. Love your videos very much and can't wait to see more. 😁💚🦎🌱
Aww thank you :D
I've ordered these for my leo (UVB) and p grandis (UVB and Jungle Dawn) today. Looking forward to getting them as I hate the lights just switching on full blast all at once, especially for my grandis as she doesn't have eyelids. Going to look into adjusting the DHP thermostats too so they have a slight warming up and cooling down period too.
Awesome! :D
Thank you for doing this review. I've been wanting to order this item and was wondering about it. I like the sunrise and sunset feature.
Also, I appreciate that you always make a very clear and open disclosure.
I already use natural sun cycles by indirect light from my window and I do this without timers! I think I'll try this product I need a break
I'm adopting my first reptile Lira who is a Western Bearded Dragon and I'm going to spoil her with the proper enclosure size and one of these. Thank you for the amazing review ❤
Hey Rebecca! 06:45 - I guess the Halogen is Rex's heating spot? I'm curious on how come you don't use a deep heat projector for him? His tank has really grown in and he himself looks absolutely gorgeous! Keep us updated on him, especially when you start to train to handle him.
Greetings from Germany!
Thanks :) yeah so I originally used a DHP, but after talking to the breeder she recommended a halogen since he is more of a diurnal species, and is out the most during the day, so the light from the halogen is more appropriate :)
Hey there! I just got my Luminize Shadedweller for my Leopard Gecko, Jasper. Ehat do you recommend when it comes to setting rhe sequence of dimming and brightening ahen it comes to dawn/dusk set up? I have mine currently increase and decrese in 5-20% intervals (until it reaches 100% around 12pm-2pm) then ir decreases in the same intervals all way til 0% at 8pm
This is a awesome video what all ppl need to really think about when getting a reptile cuz why not do it like. Ppl navigate there in life with the sun and so do all animals. I think this is a great idea our reptile friends
I recently heard about these! Thanks for doing a review. ❤
I will def get this for my leo once I finish the bioactive upgrade to her tank! Btw is Diegos substrate Arcadia Earth Mix Arid? I saw a review ages ago so might have changed😊
Hi leopard gecko! Sadly, my little lovely got diagnosed with kidney disease and gought today. I love her so much and i am going to try and take huge care of her. She is already doing alot better but its hard for me and her. I know she has love for me, and i wont let her give up.
Omg! My leopard gecko randomly passed recently and the autopsy revealed gout and enlarged liver. I’m glad you were able to find out before it’s too late.
@@eros8385 yeah, too bad we couldn't find it out sooner, but a huge red flag was when her tail shrunk half its size and she went from 50 in June to 34. I am sorry for your loss.
Wow, this is amazing. I'm gonna nab one of these, so when I get my first gecko!!
awesome!! :)
I am so excited for these lamps! They are everything I wanted for my reptiles :D Highly recommend everyone go listen to Animals at home podcast/ youtube for the interview with John Courteney-Smith all about this new tech :)
Yeah they're super cool, I'm already planning on buying more 😂
🎉🎉 wow... Its Amazing
I don't have a good leopard cage yet😢
Thanks :) Aww are you saving up to get everything for a leo then? :)
I've just had a look at these and I'm finding it incredibly confusing, especially because unfortunately my crested gecko passed away a bit ago. If I were to get another, could you tell me which I would need to get? I have a 45x45x60 exo terra vivarium. May I ask what the difference is between the two? would I need the LED bar and the UVB kit? is this as well as a heat source? cus I used a heat bulb which would obviously then be changed to something else (which I'm also not sure about). Apologies for all the questions, but I find myself out of practice :(
Also, wouldn't you have to replace this every year? or is the lamp and the device seperate?
What lamp do you recommend for ball python in a 4 foot vivarium?
They need to add rgb. I have this paired with the fluval aqua sky and i can dial in perfect golden sunsets.
Do thease come with mounting kits or do they have to be on mesh roofing
Will the Lampguardpro covers fit these new Lumenize units?
Just got both lights delivered today.
What timing settings are you using for your leopard Geckos?
This is a great idea, however 120 plus dollars on two lights is kinda hard for just the average keeper. I would love to be able to do something like this for my Leo, but it’s just not in a budget right now as for that I could completely redo her 40 gallon tank.
I want to switch to uvb but am so confused! Do I need a basking light? Would it be best to just use a DHP? Its a bit overwhelming lol.
That's very interesting! By the way, what do you think of the geckopia reptile liner? Do you think it's better or worse than paper towel. I have been wondering this for a while and was wondering what you think.
Liners can hold onto bacteria, often even after being washed, while you're fully replacing paper towel each time it gets dirty. Either way they both deprive your gecko from being able to dig.
@@sneekyalexa2657 Intresting. Thanks for the info😀
eyy there, i love ur chanel and its the place i go to look for information
id love it. if u could answer me plis
i have used deep heat proyector but ¿do i have to keep it on all the time?
or at night do i i remove it?
or i remove the uvb to make him know its night or day but i keep on the deep heat
So theres no way to mount this on the inside of a screen top like the original ones?
My mom has thought of somehow simulating sunrise and sunset with my bearded dragon's tank, but the biggest hurdle with that, from what I understand, would be getting the heat to match up with it, i.e. less heat in sunrise and sunset, more heat in midday. I don't really know of any dimmable heat lamps. And LED bulbs, while they do simulate the visible light spectrum of the sun, they do not give off much if any heat from what I understand, much like how UVB bulbs don't give off much heat.
But yeah, if this dimmable light technology could somehow be applied to heat lamps too, that would be nice cause then you would get the natural temperature swings instead of midday temperature while the light is on and then suddenly, no added heat, nighttime temperature, and it might even increase the lifetime of the heat bulb so that you wouldn't have to change bulbs as often. I know my bearded dragon has gone a couple days without the heat bulb a few times cause of it burning out, this is partly why I try to keep my room temperature at high 70s to low 80s in Fahrenheit during the day is so that the temperature doesn't drop any more than what the cool side temperature should be in case the heat bulb goes out.
This technology already exists and is in the form of dimming thermostats which you plug your heat source into. I'd say thermostats dimming your heat source is more important than dimming the LED lights, because it can be an electrical and burn hazards. Some really good ones are VEstat and Herpstat. The herpstat actually allows you to set 4 temperatures across the day so it would specifically let you have the temperature peak mid day, for their basking temperature. Thermostats *control* the temperature, while thermo*meters* only read and tell you the temperature.
Otherwise, there are more simple dimming t'stats, but those ones don't have as many features, generally just one set temperature to the appropriate basking temperature your animal needs.
WAIT I KNEW I RECOGNISED YOUR VOICE
😂😂
Hi
Am just wondering do these have an attachment to attach on the inside of the tank ?
Hiya, I'm having an issue with my luminIZE, I just set it up yesterday. Whenever i press "apply schedule" the light just goes onto full brightness, no matter what the actual schedule is 😖 how do you fix this?
Which luminize would you recommend for a crested gecko in a 18x18x24? Thank you.
I’m sure you get this question a lot. But which uvb would you recommend for a crestie in an 18x18x24 exo terra right on top of the enclosure?
Can you make a video about brumation?
when will the 14% be ready for the Bearded Dragon? where can we purchase? I'm getting one in February and would love to have this for him
If you're in the UK they're here tidd.ly/3sSqH13 if you're in the US, I know there's been a little delay in shipping, out of arcadia's control, but they should be with you in a few weeks.
how would you use this a long side a UVB t5 pro?
4:56 - I’ve just started using these lights for my leopard gecko but I’m finding it hard to get the percentage of light right for different hours. I’ve been trying to look into this on the official website but no luck
What percentage should I have on each light (jungle dawn and shade dweller) depending on the hours ?
What type of the LumenIZE lights would you recommend for my leo? Just asking as there is many different variants I’ve seen eg desert,jungle…
Hi. Can we just plug this onto the EVO stat to replace the UVB light? Thanks :)
mine turns on abruptly and then dims back down all weird, is it broken or am I setting stuff up wrong?
Hi, been a while. Do you know if these are available in the US? If not, is there a time frame/ window when they will be?
Also, is the UVB standard UVB? Has there been any innovations with led UVB in recent times?
Yes, I know there's a delay because shipment got held up :( (typical), but in a few weeks they should be there.
Thank you for the quick response and update, I really appreciate it!
So since experimenting with the new lights, I was wondering can you make a lightning effect? I wouldn't try on the UVB bulbs as they're sensitive, but what about the jungle dawn LEDs? Also, since the uvb lights now dim, and save 30% energy, does that mean that uvb coating on the light lasts longer-extending the duration of the bulbs life?
I'm highly interested in buying 3 for my leos. Im in the US, are the UVB kits going to be available in stores like petsmart/ petco, or are we going to have to order them off a website and get them shipped internationally?
Please visit reptile basics and lightyourreptiles for the USA
I really want to get this for my skink but I'm not looking forward to having replace and reinstall his UVB 😆
haha, my skink loves it :)
I would get these but they are so expensive!! 😅
nice
I have a question would both of these lights replace my shade dweller or could I purchase both and keep the shade dweller
So you will need to replace the unit, as the lumenize units are different as they have bluetooth, etc and work with the app, but the actual lamps are the same.
It is amazing what marketing can do. On one hand, you have these jungle dawn lights, marketed towards reptile keepers, vivariums. Absolutely nothing special about them, glorified shop lights. Yet, people pay hundreds of dollars for them. On the other hand, these arcadia lumenize, who seem to revolutionize reptile keeping by offering dimming. I get that they have uv b, and it is useful, but dimming? There are other hobbies out there that seem to be years ahead in this area, like fish keeping, fresh or saltwater. Why people who keep reptiles do not take a peek into what other hobbies are offering? Sunset/sunrise it is not a new thing, it is being used in aquarium hobby for many years now. You can create sunset and sunrise, and you can choose what color you want it to be, at any minute of the day. There are better things out there.
Can anyone help me? If I were to buy these, which I am, would the led and uvb light be the same length? Because I do want my gecko to be able to escape the uvb if need be
Hi what lighting and heating setup for your crestie?
I use a Deep heat projector for my crestie, its most effective in autumn and winter when it gets cold, but use a dimming stat with it otherwise it'll get too hot. Lighting I use Jungle Dawn and a Shadedweller Arboreal.
Been using dimming lights on my aquarium for a few years. When I got my Gargoyle Gecko i was quite disappointed to find there was no dimming systems like this with dimmable uvb’s and such, or atleast none that I could find, not a fan of sudden/on off (although my garg does get a slow increase of light in the morning, since her tank is next to a window and she gets the dawn light)
Definitely won’t be able to get this system right away, i’d feel bad getting rid of my jungledawn/shadedweller as they’re practically brand new, but will definitely be looking into this when the time come & people have more experience and info about them
You can use dimming LED aquarium lights on terrariums!!
Hi
I have a question im looking for a lamp timer for my Leo
im going out of town and I have no one to turn his shade dweller does anyone have any products they have tried
I live in texas
You can use a smart plug or just a normal timer to plug the lamp into.
Need this in canada
I want a sun for my enclosure
Can someone help, my leopard gecko got some scrapes from scratching herself on a rock they have now turned into big scab like thing she eats normally and acts normally
People cannot give medical advise online, but this sounds like she needs to a reptile specific vet.
I have the other one
Just got this product based on your recommandation. I have to say I felt quite underwhelmed when I received it. The apps looks like some early iphone apps from 15 years ago. unpractical, not intuitive. I thought there would be a simple mode to match the light on sunrise/sunset. But no this has to be painfully done through the app. Lights increment can only be done by 20%. The manual mode does not work and the light does not react as per the app controls. Very disappointed especially for the price paid.
Well as we in Europe are under threat of T5 ban ...why have they brought this out do arcadia know something we don't 🤔🤔
So since you work with Arcadia lol when will these be available in the US?
Yes, I know there's a delay because shipment got held up :( (typical), but in a few weeks they should be there. Hopefully some places may offer pre-ordering.
come on! saying the new acadia has made your lizard grow lot quicker!
Shouldn't you put #ad in the title? You work for arcadia and I assume get all their products free so is this really an unbiased review?
Well I do explain that at the beginning. I guess 'gifted' would be more appropriate as no one has been paid to advertise anything. I'm just sharing my experience. :) at the end of the day the reptiles can't lie haha :)
@@leopardgeckotalk fair enough sorry if my comment came across harshly
