Arcadia ShadeDweller 7% Mini UV Kit

Having a leopard gecko I have to be careful about the strength of the UVB and not flood my enclosure. This ready to go unit provides just the right amount of UVB and visible light. It is not too much Visible light as keeping albino geckos they can be sensitive to it. My only criticisms are with the mounting design. Due to the fact the unit is designed to slide onto two brackets you cannot fix both brackets in place otherwise you can't slide it on due to them being opposite sides and both wanting to slide outwards from the unit. The reflector also does not do alot, I stuck mine on with a sticky pad but its just a hazy bit of rough metal. A mirror finish would have been better. All in all though for the price this unit does exactly what it was designed to do and suitable for smaller setups and sensitive creatures.

Fantastic, works how it should - wasn’t too impressed with the Mirror it doesn’t really do anything and had to bend to make it useful. In my leopard gecko tank I’ve read that the best place for the shade dweller to go is at the back in the middle and the mirrow is useless But other than the mirror the light does it’s job no problems yet very happy with it and so is my little gecko

good kit. easy to use and effective

I unfortunately got a faulty shadedweller which only lasted a week before the bulb blew. I contacted customer service asking if they could send a replacement bulb out. They got back to me quickly and said it would be better to send another kit out as it was probably a fault with the unit. They sent this out and I got it within a couple of days. The new one works great and I have a very happy gecko again! Thank you!

I thought these would be a bit of a waste with my leopard geckos seeing as they dont come out their hides until dark, but the change was almost instant, especially for my younger one. He sploots for hours a day keeping his head in his hide, and my 16 year old one is eating like crazy. Only slight negative from me is they really need to some with a rubber cap for each end of the kit, I've had to cover the end of my link with electrical tape due to the live currant. Other than that, they're great

Great product. I got 3 for my leopard geckos and they all run off one powder source perfectly. Only issue is there's not a suitable sized stopper for the end of the very last one, so I've had to cover it with electrical tape due to to the live current. I think if they're supplied with a protective cap for both the power intake and linking ports, it would be perfect.

Easy to fit and does the job it should.

The light arrived in prestige condition. It did arrive late but that is of no fault to internet reptile but Royal Mail taking it to the wrong office

Fantastic site to use very reliable and very fast delivery.

When I first switched the light on, my corn snake began exploring his enclosure, examining everything in the new light. Had it for about a week now and he seems very pleased with it!
