Bradley and Flash are getting the new LuminIZE lighting system for Christmas.
Be aware that although Arcadia are boasting a 30% power saving based on a 4 hour ramp up then down.
This is an inapprorate way to use the lamps that will result in an underprovision, especally true when using the Sunbeam method, which is the prefered method when using high output T5 lamps.
A natural sunrise to daylight levels of UV takes about 2 hours.
Our animals will have warmed up and moved away from the basking area long before an adequate UV index has been reached.
This 30% power reduction guidance is going to cost some people their animals.
Both a ramp up and down from 0 to 100% or target UVI should take 30 minutes and no longer than 1 hour.
If you are going to run a high output T5 in limp mode for 8 hours, you may as we stick a T8 in there and be done with it.
This will be a great new product, just be sure to use it sensibly.🏆💪🦎❤️
