    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. :)

    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.

    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.

      ​@@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!

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 :(

    @caterscarrots3407 Рік тому

    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.

    • @sneekyalexa2657
      @sneekyalexa2657 Рік тому +1

      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.

    • @sneekyalexa2657
      @sneekyalexa2657 Рік тому

      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.

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.

    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.

    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 :)
