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.
