Only the faithful observation of these installation, electrical and
maintenance guidelines will ensure the safe and efficient use of
this appliance.
The Exo Terra® Light Cycle Unit is an electronic ballast, a timer
and a dusk-to-dawn simulator in one. The timer can be set for
three different lighting periods --10, 1, or 1 hours to simulate the
various seasonal daylight cycles found in nature. When a daytime
cycle is activated, it takes approximately 30 minutes for the light
output of the bulb to reach 100% -- simulating a natural dawn. At
the end of each daytime cycle, it takes approximately 30 minutes for
the bulb's light output to go from 100% to 0% -- simulating a natural
dusk. This is less stressful for the animals as it gives them time to
retreat into their burrows and even stimulates breeding behaviour in
many species of reptiles.
