Custom LED Night Viewing Light

**SkullV** · 06-27-2012, 10:33 PM

Decided to take my knowledge from saltwater reefing and apply it to my gecko. I was trying to find a nice night viewing light that I could fit inside my Exoterra canopy. Since I didn't find anything I like I just decided to make one. If anyone else is interested I can put together a DIY and parts list.

Worked out great! You can't even tell its there from the outside and it transfers zero heat to the tank like an incandescent bulb would.

that's pretty awesome!

I have a remote-controlled LED spotlight suspended from the ceiling above my zoomed, it's pretty fun =p

That's pretty sweet! I'd definitely appreciate a parts list!

Nice! It looks VERY bright however. Is it disrupting your geckos night patterns? Just curious

I'll put one together this afternoon. If you are local I have everything you need besides the LED driver and LED.

LEDs always look brighter on camera. It's actually pretty subtle to the eye. I only have it on from 8pm-1am though so it's all dark the rest of the night.
