They respond very well indeed.

please see the www.arcadialumenize.com and of course the animals at home podcast later today for much more!

thank you, you should be able to buy it from all major stores in Germany from today

we put a lot of effort in for sure!

generally the advice is to light the whole planted area.

Sell your old ones. It's an expensive hobby. Especially if we want to provide the best life for our captive living beings.

Typically the 8w T5 and 24w LED BAR are used together and alongside your heating. This will then cover the whole spectrum for the animal and supply well for your plants. Please see www.arcadialumenize.com for more

yes, no problem, the glass lamps are unchanged

Yes, LumenIZE kits use our tried and tested T5 range

yes, they have new water resistant power ingress

yes you can link LumenIZE devices to each other, but you cannot link fixed voltage ProT5 and JungleDawn to LumenIZE at this time

@@ArcadiaReptile alright great. And are the old and new uvb bulbs the same? Or will the old ones not work in the new brackets and the other way around?

They appear to be available now, from the uk anyway

yes, there are optional linking cables should you wish to use them. However, each kit arrives with a mains power cable.

Same question!

Please do register your interest with Reptile Basics and Lightyourreptiles. Stock is fast approaching North America now

the product has fitting clips included in the box that will work for most keepers please see the videos page of www.arcadialumenize.com for more

it is possible with the twin T5 version yes. However the updated power ingress for the LED makes it too long. We will have a new solution in 2024

@ArcadiaReptile thanks. Out of curiosity will this 2024 update perhaps be a modification to a lower profile power plug for the led fixture? Maybe a 90degree plug so it fits? If water rating is reduced I would not even care since it's all well protected anyways for that application.

No, if the lamp is off, no energy is supplied to the lamp.

Hi, if your distance to basking is 10-12" from the lamp to the animal, and for your species the 8w ShadeDwellerPro 7% is the right choice. You can also have this with LumenIZE of course and increase visible light with the LED Bar. There is no need to have 'max' for your species.

​@ArcadiaReptile Thank you for your reply! I'm going to order one today. Hopefully my leopard gecko will like it. :)

In almost all cases the 14w ShadeDweller-Max kit is the right choice for your species and that size viv, if the viv is also 2' high.

Is that safe to go in, as is or does it need some kind of cover to stop the snake touching the bulb (my ball python likes to climb) 4ft x 2ft x2ft​@@ArcadiaReptile

No, LumenIZE enabled devices are different from the fixed voltage range and cannot be interconnected or controlled by the app

So this would be replacing both of those fixtures or just one?

These are updated versions of the fixed voltage range. So, the same concept as you have, but now having app control and being water resistant etc@@stephaniedefrayne9476

@@ArcadiaReptile can i use the existing t5 replacement lamps for lumenize?

yes there are no lamp changes@@jmfburgers

we do not sell product direct via Amazon or anywhere. Please visit a local store or specialist pet products online retailer for genuine product

HO-T5 lamps are fully dimmable if you have the correct ballast and method of control. As soon as we have electron flow light is produced and this is replicated in value out alongside energy provided. There are no issues here.

@@ArcadiaReptile Thank you! That's some new information. That opens up for so many opportunities.

Seems like it’s an app-enabled light fixture to allow for dimming

I’m pretty sure John Courtney smith is doing a podcast with Dillion on animals at home over the weekend, so imagine we will get alot of details there.

today around 3pm GMT@@SamGlife

Is there already an existing Arcadia app? I cant find anything on the play store for android..

@@SamGlife we shouldn’t need a podcast to understand what exactly this product is. 🤔

our agents in Australia have plenty of product at the docks, it will appear instore and online over the whole nation very soon

@@ArcadiaReptile awesome! Thanks for the clarification 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

You would need to choose a T5 that has the ability to provide the optimal UV Index at your animals basking place and is wide enough to cover the whole animal when coiled at basking. For the LED, this should cover the whole planted area.

So the proT5 is for basking and the LED is for the plants?

ProT5 is for Uv provision yes, and the LED is used for plant growth and/or to increase lux in a cage@@MorphmafiaSmurf

absolutely not, UV LED is so far from being ready that i would not even consider putting our brand behind what is still failed tech

​@@ArcadiaReptileInteresting comment, given Zoo Med recently released their Reptisun LED UVB.

🦗

no, it is free for all to use

Yes, the 14w and 54w ProT5 does have a bird option

there is a full and lasting exemption for special lamps, anything to the contrary is clickbait and untrue,

@@ArcadiaReptile Cool, I look forward to owning it.

LED tech is so far away from being safe to use with reptiles that it cannot even be considered by responsible brands! All parts of T5 lamps can be fully recycled. They pose little to no risk, but do have an almost perfect spectrum, Hundreds of times better than current UV LEDs, thats for sure!

@ArcadiaReptile Throwing them in a recycling bin does not mean they will get recycled. A lot of companies don't even accept fluorescents/t5s at all, maybe if you're lucky they will with special instructions. You guys also sell MVBs which are unstable and unsafe for most pets too, (which also cannot be safely regulated by a thermostat and are super hot and strong UVB) just like the "other brand" too, but alright...your evidence at this point is just saying coin words like "naturalistic" as many times as you can in one video. :/ but ok... lights are priority and you partner with petsmart, which have really outdated reccomendations for animals, but you're trying to advertise like welfare (health and wellness) will be improved because a light can adjust the brightness. Nevermind that petsmart promotes feeding pellets and having reptile carpet with tiny enclosures for sale. There's just so many things in the hobby that are...sad and yet these dimming lights are what's revolutionary???

And especially since you guys also own much of Thrive now. It just is discouraging that big companies like you guys with pretty heavy influence don't try to do things like improve the basics (like the small enclosure kits with those thrive products in them) before worrying about dimming lights. The dimming is cool for sure! Just, a lot of other things that feel neglected that would drastically improve welfare.

@@ArcadiaReptile No more responses? :/
