Zoo Med Reptisun Terrarium Hood Review

After about 7 months of use the GFI socket it was plugged into started to disconnect. I unplugged everything in the circuit and checked the outlet. That wasn't the problem. started rewiring things and when I got to this light and turned on the UV light the GFI reappeared. I disconnected everything again and connected this hood first. The LEDs turned on and everything was fine, the UV lamp turned on and the circuit snapped again. Turned off the light, reset the outlet, plugged in the light and…

Worth the money, sleek and stylish. Great option for unobtrusive UV and LED lighting in my 24x18x24 Leachie house. The light is 24" but it sticks out a bit from my tank. There are two cords and three switches. One cord and switch is for the UVB lamp. The other cord is for the LEDs. There are two LED switches , one of which controls the red and white lights, and the other controls the blue lights. The blue lights make a nice low-level night light that doesn't bother me or my gecko. I've noticed…

Was very happy to receive and test this. Quite expensive compared to other UVB devices but I figured it would be an investment hoping I could get many years of use out of it. The LEDs work fine but the UV tube flickered and then went out? I'm not sure if the problem is with the hose or the hood itself. The box felt quite rough as if it had been taken out before. It doesn't bother me much as long as the device works. Looks like I'll have to buy some lightbulbs to try this out. I think it would…

First. This is a high quality item that looks aesthetically pleasing and puts out much more light than just UVB T5. My biggest gripe with this product is that it obviously focuses on the best lighting options, but lacks a good timer system. The T5 has its own cord and it's easy to connect a simple timer switch to it. However, LED blocks have two switches (one switch is three-position, white, off, white/red, the other is blue, off) with a wire. Most fish LED systems have at least one additional…

I would give this product 5 stars but only now after fixing the loose connections. My theory after reading the negative reviews was that the Phillips screws wobbled during the shipping process which is why I made the purchase. Of course, after a week, half of the LED strip went out. If it was a mounting issue, 1/2 strip of ALL the LEDs wouldn't burn out at the same time. I'm not an electrician so anyone can fix this. SOLUTION: Turn the flashlight upside down and remove the silver Phillips…

Really good light combo for the price. My favorite aspect of this design is how low it is. It really wraps around the top of my frog tank so this huge contraption doesn't stick out like a sore thumb and take up a ton of space. Very soft. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a decent budget combo flashlight. The color of my tree frogs has greatly improved with the addition of a UV lamp. I was concerned that 5.0 would be too much for some cheap frogs but as the top of my tank…

I have this in my leopard gecko terrarium. It doesn't need UVB but I've seen it recommended from time to time so I got this to be able to. The white-red light has a good effect on the plants and looks beautiful. I don't use a blue night light very often because I'm afraid it might be too bright for the gecko at night. I turn it on when I need to get something out of the terrarium at night and it doesn't seem to matter. That's enough for me to see what I'm doing, which is good. I have an Exo…

Okay, I bought this in September and loved it straight away. Whilst I wish the LED daylight types were on separate plugs or at least each zone could be switched individually, ALL other aspects of this hood are amazing. The UV performance is excellent and the LEDs are just as good. I had an accident where the UV light just stopped working after moving the terrarium and hood to a new room. The hood was removed from the terrarium and set aside where not touched at all until it was picked up and…
