Equipped with advanced high frequency electronic component circuitry, this premium controller delivers a continuous, unwavering current to your fluorescent lamp. This technology completely eliminates the rhythmic pulsing and stressful flickering commonly associated with older magnetic ballasts, reducing eye strain for both keepers and sensitive reptiles. The lightweight unit features a slim housing with an integrated vented protective cover that effectively dissipates heat during extended daily operation.

Suitable For

Powering all standard T8 linear fluorescent tubes including desert and tropical strengths

Operating Komodo UVB Sun Strip Tubes across a wide range of output levels

Both arid desert vivariums and high humidity tropical terrarium environments

Managing ultraviolet setups in large multi tank breeding racks or quarantine systems

Installations utilizing aluminum reflectors to maximize downward light projection

How To Use

Mount the slim controller box securely outside the enclosure in a well ventilated area where you can easily reach the power controls. Guide the leads into the habitat and attach the watertight sockets firmly onto both ends of your T8 fluorescent tube. Ensure the total wattage of the light bulb perfectly matches the specific wattage rating printed on your controller unit. Connect the primary power lead to a standard wall socket using the included three pin plug. Use the integrated on off toggle switch to manage your daily lighting cycle, or plug the unit into an external automated timer to establish a strict twelve hour photoperiod. Always replace your ultraviolet tubes every nine to twelve months, as the beneficial radiation degrades even if the bulb remains illuminated.
