Exo Terra Light Cycle Unit - Manual (Page 6)


2. Install fluorescent bulbs of the correct diameter and wattage by
inserting 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.
3. 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.
4. Keep unit out of reach of children. Keep unit away from curtains
or other flammable objects.
