LED LIGHT ACCESSORIES LED DIMMER For use with all WhitePython LED Lights, the LED Dimmer can dim any LED light to the desired lighting level.

This small, manual dimmer is simple and efficient in design, being very easy to use and install. WPY057 RRP: 12.

This simple cable fits in between the LED Power Supply and the Power Cable and branches off to a possible 4 separate lights.

99 POWER CABLES If you purchase individual WhitePython LED light strips, you will need to purchase an LED Power Cable which fits in between your Power Supply and Light Strip.

Also, combined with the Aux to Female Extension cable, this can create a long extension in-between 2 light strips (perhaps reaching across 2 terrariums) WPY051 30cm RRP: 3.49 WPY051 1m RRP: 4.

2 LED LIGHT ACCESSORIES LED DIMMER For use with all WhitePython LED Lights, the LED Dimmer can dim any LED light to the desired lighting level. The LED Dimmer simply sits in between the LED Power Supply and the LED Power Cable, which then connects to your chosen light unit. This small, manual dimmer is simple and efficient in design, being very easy to use and install. WPY057 RRP: LED 4 WAY EXTENSION If you re looking to connect multiple terrariums lighting together, the LED 4 Way Extension is the ideal cable for you. This simple cable fits in between the LED Power Supply and the Power Cable and branches off to a possible 4 separate lights. If you wanted, you could put the dimmer before this and dim all 4 extensions, or you could place a dimmer after, inbetween a single light and dim just the one. WPY054 RRP: 8.99 POWER CABLES If you purchase individual WhitePython LED light strips, you will need to purchase an LED Power Cable which fits in between your Power Supply and Light Strip. Available in 2 lengths, the 30cm Power Cable comes as standard in all LED light kits. However, the 1m Power cable is ideal for those who need a further reach. Also, combined with the Aux to Female Extension cable, this can create a long extension in-between 2 light strips (perhaps reaching across 2 terrariums) WPY051 30cm RRP: 3.49 WPY051 1m RRP: 4.99 MALE TO FEMALE LED EXTENSION CABLES The Male to Female LED Extension Cable is a very simple extension that fits in between any of the WhitePython LED light strips. Available in 2 lengths, 20cm and 40cm, these small extension cables are ideal if you re looking to extend your lighting kit across multiple terrariums, or perhaps even creating a second row of lights within your terrarium without having to purchase a separate lighting kit. WPY049 20cm RRP: 2.99 WPY050 40cm RRP: 3.49 AUXILIARY TO FEMALE EXTENSION CABLE The LED Auxiliary to Female Extension Cable is ideal if you want to extend your lighting kit across multiple terrariums where the normal 20cm or 40cm Extension Cables do not fit the job. With this product, you could simply slot this together with a 30cm or 1m Power cable, thereby allowing yourself the ability to place the smaller auxiliary fittings through the back of your terrarium without the need for drilling any holes. Equally, by using this product with the 1m power cable you are able to extend your lighting kit much further. WPY053 30cm RRP: 3.49

LED POWER SUPPLIES If you would like to extend your LED lighting kit or customise your lighting centre, you may wish to purchase an extra LED Power Supply unit.

Please note, you will need a Power Cable in-between these power cables and the LED light strip.

Please note, you will need a Power Cable in-between these power cables and the LED light strip.

Within each pack there are 4 metal clips and 4 self-tapping screws, ideal for screwing into a standard melamine terrarium. It is recommended to use one clip per LED strip for standard terrariums; however, if you have large arboreal snakes or lizards, using 2 clips per strip will offer added strength and security. WPY055 RRP: 3.49 LED MAGNETIC ADHESIVE Spare magnetic strips for use if you need to move your lights to a new terrarium or if over time the ahesive wears off. Pack of 4 sets. WPY056 RRP: 4.99

5 LIGHTING EXTENSION EXAMPLES Example 1 - Connecting a series of strips together across the top of mesh roof terrariums. * BIRDS EYE VIEW In this case, the extension cables only need to be short, so the 20cm Male to Female Extension Cable is ideal. At the beginning of the line, you would need a Power Supply and either a 30cm or 1m Power Cable. Example 2 - Connecting a 3ft stack of terrariums together from a single power source. * FRONT FACING VIEW 1m Power Cable End Cap In this case, various connections are required as the terrariums go further away from the power source. Notice, there are 9 light strips in this bank of lights, so a 60W power supply is required. 1m Power Cable End Cap This power supply leads to a 4 Way extension cable, which then branches off to the 3 terrariums. The first terrarium will only need a 30cm power cable as it s so close, the other 2 will need to use a 1m power cable. End Cap These cables then connect directly to the light strips, which can be any colour you wish. 30cm Power Cable 4 Way Extension Cable 60W Power Supply

6 LIGHTING EXTENSION EXAMPLES * FRONT FACING VIEW Power Cable leading to Power Supply 40cm Cable - or as described below, 1m Power Cable + Aux to Female Cable End light features End Cap BLUE RED GREEN BLUE RED GREEN WHITE WHITE WHITE Recommedation for a bank of terrariums of different sizes. Bank of terrariums featuring 2 x columns of 3ft terrariums and 1 column of 2ft terrarriums. Unfortunately, there are too many lights in this entire bank to run from one single power source. So, to offer the best level of control I would recommend working from 3 separate 30W power supplies, one for each row. WARNING: You will notice I have recommended using 40cm M&F connectors which would sit inbetween each terrarium, connecting the lights together into one long row. This will work ok if you position the lights towards the rear of each terrarium. However, if you wish for the lights to be towards the front, these connectors will not be long enough. In which case, you will need to replace each 40cm connector with a 1m Power Cable plus 1 30cm Aux to Female Connector. Control for Top Row 1 x 30W Power Supply 1 x 1m Power Cable 3 x Blue Lights with 3 x Red Lights with 1 x Green Lights with 1 x Green Light with End Cap 2 x 40cm s Control for Middle Row 1 x 30W Power Supply 1 x 1m Power Cable 3 x Blue Lights with 3 x Red Lights with 1 x Green Lights with 1 x Green Light with End Cap 2 x 40cm s Control for Bottom Row 1 x 30W Power Supply 1 x 30cm Power Cable 7 x White Lights with 1 x White Light with End Cap 2 x 40cm s
