Alternative LED Lighting

LED lighting is a great way to add colour to any reptile room. There are various types of LEDs available for reptiles which come in different colours, shapes and sizes.

As long as the LED does not emit heat you can use them for most reptiles. When it comes to albinos, always ensure that the lights are not overly bright as this can lead to eye damage.

Here are some examples of different LED lighting that vary in price.

I decided to invent a cheaper method to create my own LED coloured lighting system in my reptile room. I purchased LED push lights from a local bargain store. I then coloured  the LEDs by using coloured transculent sweet/candy wrappers to give a rainbow effect. This effect could also be achieved by colouring the LED with a coloured Sharpie pens. The price of the LED lights were £1.00 for two and the sweet/candy wrappers are byproducts which would have been thrown away in the trash.
