Light Fixtures For Bioactive Terrariums and Live Vivariums | NEHERP

Exo Terra Compact Tops

Our favorite fixtures for screw-in LEDs & CFLs

▾ Show Description ▾

NEHERP Staff Description
The Exo Terra Compact Top Canopy is a compact fluorescent terrarium canopy designed for use with Exo Terra Glass Terrariums, but can be used for a wide variety of enclosures. This easy-to-install canopy accommodates compact fluorescent bulbs, LEDs, and even low wattage incandescent bulbs. Hoods 12" smaller have 1 on/off light switch, and larger hoods have 2. Max CFL bulb wattage: 26W. Max incandescent bulb wattage: 25W.

Fitment Information
The versatility of these fixtures is part of why we like them so much. Every Exo Terra Natural CFL, UVB CFL, and Plant Growth CFL (up to 26W) we carry will fit into every Exo Terra Compact Top. When it comes to LEDs, every one of our Jungle Dawn & Value Grow horizontal LEDs (under 7.5in) will fit, too! Never mix CFL bulbs and LEDs in a single fixture, since doing so will cause the LED(s) to overheat.

Sunblaster T5HO Fixture + Bulb

A top-quality horticultural light with the best reflector available

Note: Sizes listed are nominal. See dimensions below.

▾ Show Stats & Description ▾

NEHERP Staff Description:
Sunblaster is our newest commercial-grade T5HO fixture. Their exclusive NanoTech reflector has a unique shape not found in most of the generic T5HO clones on the market, and the fixture itself features a slightly different & more sleek profile overall. This reflector is advertised to project a unique 103° pattern while capturing 99.9% of previously lost light. Another cool feature is the fact that we're able to daisy-chain up to eight units together using the included daisy chain cables. Hanging clips are included, but we strongly recommend our NEHERP Terrarium Light Stands for this fixture if you'll be using them over a terrarium. These include excellent plant growth bulbs, but for those whose animals need UVB output, Zoo Med's awesome German-made UVB Bulbs are an available upgrade in the cart! Continue reading about the stands...

About The NEHERP-Exclusive T5HO Stands:
**AVAILABLE IN-CART AFTER ADDING A SUNBLASTER T5HO**
T5HOs have always been high on our list of recommended inexpensive lighting solutions, but Sunblaster T5s have always had a drawback since the fixtures aren't flat on the bottom. This always required users to hang them from something above. To help overcome that issue, we developed nifty adjustable NEHERP Lighting stands which make installation super easy. Simply select the angle of illumination you'd like (0°, 15°, 30°) based on the specifics of your particular enclosure's design, and place the T5HO toward the front of the enclosure for best results. Once installed, the stand will elevate the fixture slightly for improved airflow & increased heat dissipation, and allow for the perfect angle of illumination. Sorry, these stands aren't sold separately! Continue reading...

Other Information:

• Sunblaster T5HOs and Sunblaster LEDs share a compatible power connector, and can be daisy-chained together!
• Sunblaster T5HOs can easily be automated using a smart switch or outlet timer. (No remotes, apps, or other frequent failure-points)
• Sunblaster T5HOs cannot be dimmed. Do not connect them to a dimmer switch, as damage to the T5HO ballast may result.
• Not rated for water-contact. Please don't mount inside of any enclosure, or where these T5HOs may come into contact with water.
• NEHERP Terrarium Stands are not affiliated with or endorsed by Sunblaster Horticultural Products, and were developed independently.

• Compatible w/our Sunblaster LEDs.
• Compatible w/smart switches & outlet timers.
• Not dimmable. Do not connect to a dimmer.
• Not rated for contact with water/mist.
• Not rated/recommended for in-tank use.
• Stands are not affiliated with or endorsed by Sunblaster.

Manufacturer Description:
Includes our T5HO Electronic ballast, 6400K lamp, power cord, and jumper plug with both hanging and flat surface mounting clips. SunBlaster T5HO fixtures link together, regardless of length, to a maximum of 8 per single power cord. It doesn't get easier or better than this. This reflector produces more light, spreads it wider across the plant canopy, and deeper into the plant foliage, without consuming any additional power. The NanoTech T5 reflector captures 99.9% of previously lost light while increasing lumen availability up to 300%, with an average increase of available light of a whopping 48%. The most advanced T5HO lighting combo available. Extends lamp and ballast life by reducing heat.

*Note: Metering standards for fluorescent lights have changed. We have listed the old standard rating and the new one, since many websites still list the old method as their primary one and we'd hate to give folks the wrong impression. While some bulky "T5HO hood" fixtures performed particularly poorly in our tests, most linear strip T5HO fixtures will be within 10% of each other. Sunblaster is a consistent top performer.

Lamp Stand

Fully adjustable metal stand for dome and wire fixtures

▾ Show Description ▾

NEHERP Staff Description
This lamp stand features adjustable height, adjustable length, bendable wire-holding clips, and an all-metal construction. We've used these stands over terrariums, small-scale plant propagation projects, and on tabletop displays. They are great for suspending specialty lamps (UVB / LED Grow / Etc) over a desired surface, and the sturdy metal base holds everything tightly. The stand is adjustable in two directions from 20-38in tall, and 8-15in deep. Everything locks in place with metal-on-metal screws for a secure hold. We tried a couple of other types of stand (adhesives, plastics, and smaller bases), but this relatively old-school option remains our top choice.

Zoo Med Deep Dome & Nano Fixtures

A great choice for heat + CFL bulbs!

Text Graphic: Zoo Med Nano and Deep Dome Fixtures

▾ Show Description ▾

NEHERP Staff Description:
Zoo Med is the originator & innovator of the Deep Dome Fixture in this hobby. Between the brightly reflective inside, rugged black outside, and long-term proven reliability, we're glad to carry the whole line of Zoo Med Dome fixtures. The Mini & Standard Deep Dome Models are great for everything from Mercury Vapor Bulbs, Compact Fluorescent Bulbs, Ceramic Heat Emitters, Infrared Heat Projectors, UVB Bulbs, and of course traditional heat (incandescent) bulbs. The new "Nano" models are ideal for very small enclosures (or small areas to heat) when used in conjunction with low wattage nano bulbs. There's a separate cord and switch for every socket on each of these models, making them perfect for use with basic timers, thermostats, and more. Wattage ratings and dimensions for each model listed below the Add To Cart button. The oldest Zoo Med Deep Domes currently being used at NEHERP date back to the year 2000, back when the owner was still a high-school aged hobbyist. These are the absolute highest quality dome fixtures on the market.
