SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

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.
