• DIRECTLY ON TERRARIUM USING SLIDING RAILS:
This fixture can be placed directly on top of your terrarium. To install using the adjustable sliding
rails, adjust the width of the rails to match the width of the terrarium, and securely place the

not be pulled completely from the aluminum housing.

• SUSPENDED OVER TERRARIUM USING SUSPENSION CABLES:
CAUTION: See suspension kit warning section for important safety information before hanging
this light fixture over your terrarium. To hang your fixture above your terrarium using the
enclosed stainless steel aircraft cable suspension kit, perform the following steps:
• Insert the two T-nuts into the slot on the top of the fixture, then insert the plastic plug into
the slot on the plastic end cover.
• Fully thread the cable fittings onto the T-nuts.
• Secure the cable using appropriate hardware to suspend the fixture (see suspension kit warning above).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
This lamp fixture has three different lighting modes that are controlled by two switches:
WHITE LEDs ONLY: 6500K white daylight LEDs provide bright naturalistic light in your terrarium. Use this mode for
terrariums without live plants, including desert habitats and terrariums with artificial plants.
WHITE & RED LEDs: 6500K white daylight LEDs with 620nm red LEDs provide bright naturalistic light in addition to red
wavelengths that stimulate plant growth. Use this mode for all terrariums with live plants.
BLUE MOONLITE® LED: Low light 465nm blue LED simulates “Lunar Effect” and provides for nighttime viewing without
disturbing your animals’ sleeping patterns (photoperiod). Be sure to turn off white and red LEDs at night to provide your
animals with a proper photoperiod.
CHANGING OR REPLACING THE LED MODULES:
The LED modules in your light fixture can be replaced as needed at the end of the LED’s useful life.
