Note: For safety purposes it is recommended that either two T8

bulbs or two T10 Bulbs be installed. Do not install a combination

of T8 and T10 bulbs.

3. Insert the bulb into the end cap so that the pins align with the

internal sockets. Push while inserting the bulb into the end cap

to ensure a positive connection.

4. Once the fluorescent bulbs have been inserted into the end

caps, position the bulbs on top of the metal screen cover of the

terrarium (not over the glass as UVB light does not penetrate

glass). Ensure that the surface of the screen cover is flat and

even so that the bulbs will not roll. Ensure that the bulbs are

positioned over the top metal screen portion of the terrarium and

NOT over any glass, plastic parts, or other flammable material.

Failure to do so could result in a possible fire hazard.

5. Keep unit out of reach of children. Keep unit away from curtains

or other flammable objects.

Maintenance:

Warning:

• Disconnect the plug of this light unit, and any other

electrical equipment, used for the terrarium, paludarium or

aqua-terrarium before placing your hands in the water; and/or

performing any maintenance of any kind.

• Whenever installing, removing or changing fluorescent tubes

or maintaining, installing or removing the Exo Terra® Light

Unit or any other equipment, always ensure that it is

unplugged.

• The electrical supply cords of this lighting system cannot be

replaced. If any of the cords are damaged the entire unit

should be discarded

Cleaning the Unit:
1.
Do not place the light unit housing near filter outputs or expose it

to water spray or humidity. Do not submerge in water.

2. Ensure that the heat vents are kept free and clear of any

obstruction, dust and debris. Use a cloth to wipe away any
debris that may obstruct the heat vents.

3. No special maintenance is required for the Exo Terra® Light

Unit, other than periodic cleaning with a cloth (never use harsh
chemical products or detergents). To remove calcareous
deposits (bulb sockets), it is recommended to use a mild acid
such as vinegar, followed by a thorough wipe down with a damp
cloth to remove any residues.

4. It is strongly recommended to always follow all the precautions

and procedures outlined in both the Important Safeguards and
Installation Instructions sections.
