We're in the process of buying lights for my new Aldabra enclosure. Arcadia LumenIZE is a good (though expensive) product line; I wish it had been available for my Boxie's stock tank (JUN 2023). Little Aldabra's enclosure will be slightly larger (96" x 48" x 48") and require more lighting fixtures. The previous owner drilled several holes on ceiling panel which could be used to suspend new fixtures (ie: steel rod or cable). Additional holes may be needed, depending on what combination of light fixtures we use...
Option Z: 1x LumenIZE 48" Jungle Dawn; 1x LumenIZE 48" UVB kit. [[LEAST EXPENSIVE]]
Option A: 2x LumenIZE 48" Jungle Dawn; 1x LumenIZE 48" UVB kit. [[BEST OPTION?]]
Option B: 2x LumenIZE 35" Jungle Dawn; 2x LumenIZE 36" UVB kit. [[UVB OVERKILL?]]
Option C: 4x LumenIZE 23" Jungle Dawn; 2x LumenIZE 24" UVB kit. [[MOST EXPENSIVE]]
I doubt that Option Z provides sufficient light, based on my experience with dual bulb T5 fixture in my Boxie tank. Options A, B and C are worth consideration, however. Arcadia solar bulbs, (50-75w flood) will be used in the basking zone. I'll probably keep interior shelf/rack on LH side of enclosure, and hang lamps from it. Feedback is appreciated.
