Installing Lighting in a Kages Enclosure: Updated Beardie Build Part 2/3

In part 2 of this 3-part series, I show you how to install lighting components in a PVC enclosure. As a bonus, I touch on using computer fans to create airflow within your tank. Hope you enjoy! Be on the lookout for Part 3, where I deck out Hercules's retirement home with edible plants and other goodies!

Great intrustrual dialog

[@balvinator1]

Hey you never mentioned exactly what bulbs you are going to put into the Arcadia lamp holder and brackets on either side. Could you specify what bulbs you put into those?

[@aqua.scape69]

How did you plug the solar and uvb lights into that light fixture?

[@Hamburglar009]

5:29 When it’s time to change your UVB bulb, if you installed the guard with enough space, you can just unscrew the front 2 and fold the guard back. lol Speaking of UVB, why did you mount it in the center? I’ve always heard to place UVB as close to the basking bulb as possible so the basking spot was also where the UVB covered.

[@L0GANTP]

uvb is supposed to cover 1/2 to 3/4 of the tank, doesn't matter if its near the basking light
