2. Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack Contents: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts are present: the dual light fixture, two independent power lines with switches, and the hanging hook.
  2. Select Bulbs: Choose two appropriate bulbs (e.g., ceramic heat lamp, UVB/UVA basking spot lamp, daylight lamp, nightlight lamp, Infrared Spot Lamp) with a maximum wattage of 150W each. Ensure the bulb base is E26.
  3. Install Bulbs: Screw the selected bulbs firmly into each of the two ceramic lamp caps.
  4. Positioning: Place the fixture securely above your reptile's habitat. The integrated hanging hook can be used with a lamp stand (not included, or use the included stand if suitable for your setup) to suspend the fixture at the desired height. Ensure adequate distance from the animal to prevent burns.

3. Operating Instructions

The REPTI ZOO Dual Reptile Light Fixture is designed for simple and independent operation of each lamp.

  • Independent Control: Each lamp cap is connected to its own power cord with an individual ON/OFF switch. This allows you to control each light source separately, providing flexibility for day/night cycles or specific heating/lighting requirements.
  • Turning On/Off: Locate the ON/OFF switch on each power cord. Slide the switch to the "ON" position to activate the respective lamp, and to the "OFF" position to turn it off.
  • Heat Dissipation: The fixture is equipped with radiating and ventilating holes on the top to ensure proper heat dissipation. Do not obstruct these holes during operation.
