Provide the Correct Levels of UVB with LumenIZE ProT5
As always as keepers we must ensure that we provide energy towards the developed needs of a species in a safe and effective way whilst minimising the risks of both over or under exposure.
Create wild-like sunrise/sunset lighting patterns easily and say goodbye to standard on/off’ lighting. Pro T5 with LumenIZE is sleek, effective, offers smooth dimming patterns which puts you in control of replicating the sun as closely as possible.
LumenIZE enabled ProT5 has also been upgraded to the IP65 standard for water resistance, making it the perfect choice for all types of biome. This is made possible with brand new easy change ‘push on/lock in’ lamp holders. The new easy change lamp holder will decrease lamp fitting time but also decrease accidental lamp damage.
By using LumenIZE systems you can reduce energy usage by a massive 30%! Simply download the free LumenIZE app onto your phone or other device, connect to the LumenIZE enabled lamp via a secure Bluetooth connection and create wild-like lighting cycles, seasons and even have the ability to set UV index values via one easy App.
Whats more, the programme that you set for your species is stored within the ProT5 itself and not your phone. This means that the lighting will simply carry on running through its cycles until you decide to change them.
This optimised system also has a battery back up, if your have a power failure the programme will carry on running and the lamp will go right back on at the right position when power is restored.
Provide the UV Index that your species needs and know that the LumenIZE enabled ProT5 will not only deliver midday values in a safe and measured way, as always, but that it will run smoothly through the sunrise and sunset that your animal requires.
Provide a sense of the seasons for your reptiles. Not only will ProT5 with LumenIZE provide gentle sunrise and sunset cycles, but you can also easily update your programming to include seasonal increases and decreases in energy. This is a far more natural and safe lead into the winter slowdown and spring wake up.
UV Lighting For Snakes
One area of reptile keeping that has been severely overlooked is the correct provision of UV lighting for snakes, and especially those living in larger more naturalistic or bioactive enclosures. It became clear very quickly that the most commonly kept species being 3’/90cm in length or more would benefit more with exposure that covers much more of the body, and within the light and shade method.
Being longer and in the case of Royal/Ball pythons, more robust also, it is important to increase the size of area of illumination (projection zone), to allow good photo and thermoregulation, which helps to ensure access to full colour vision and the ability to self-regulate D3 levels. This will allow snakes to move and behave naturally, seeking out areas of energy to use and to explore without the risk of them being exposed to higher levels of UV than is safe for them. This is a risk with the more powerful HO-T5 lamps when used in reduced height enclosures and with species that can easily climb.
Arcadia ProT5 ShadeDweller Max is the perfect choice for these species where an environment has been created to allow self-regulated basking, but also poses very little risk of over exposure as the snake moves around the enclosure (transient exposure). We all know that most snakes love to climb, and we should allow this wherever possible to increase enrichment of the body and mind and to allow the animal to experience light at differing angles.
ShadeDweller-Max has been designed with the needs of captive snakes in mind, but this should not limit its use, it is just as much a powerful tool for some lizards and amphibians living in larger enclosures that fall into Zone 1-2 and are able to safely climb to self-regulate.
