Lighting and UVB

[C.Sheldon]

Tbh when it comes to the leds it’s down to personal preference, I can’t speak for those strips in particular because I’ve not used them, but they look fine to me, as do the bulbsif going with a bulb just make sure it’s hung high enough to light the entire enclosure, you can make shady spots with hides and plants for tortoise to retreat to if they wish

Perfect, thank you

Yeah... what they said...

I use the under cabinet mount ones or the screw in type bulb ones. Both of these types have served me well.

brilliant thank you Tom

I would look for LED bars - undercabinet lights and ceiling panels. Flexible LED strips are usually for decorative lightning - they are often less bright, need some tricks to mount them without glue, have less dispersed light because lack the reflector and front panel. Also, different colors mean that LED density is shared between colored and white diodes.

That’s great thank you

Also if going with the strip, I wouldn't rely on just the adhesive it comes with, they can fall down, I’d find a way to screw in something to hold them up if you can

that’s great thank you for the advice
