Low Voltage Halogens
Low voltage halogen technlogy offers interesting opportunities for the future of herp keeping. For one it is possible to develop safe lamps like the Jungle Lamp which can be used under extreme conditions like in a rainforest vivarium. And the development of compact luminaires is possible that allow terrarium constructions like the Lucky Reptile Starter Kits or the FurniTarrium Premium without a mess of visible wires or lamps and sockets pointing deep down inside the cage. Low voltage halogen lamps match the light and heat performance of their 230V relatives but usually achieve longer lives and help to save a lot of energy!
The Thermo Socket LV is an extendable low voltage lamp system which has been developed for low voltage halogen lamps like the Lucky Reptile Halogen Sun LV. For the operation a transformer is necessary which is already included in the Thermo Socket LV Set. Up to 6 lamps can be attached to one transformer over a plug and socket connection. Using the transformer of the Lucky Reptile Jungle Lamp or a mixed operation of Jungle Lamp and Thermo Socket LV on one transformer is possible as well. The Thermo Socket LV can be placed on top of the terrarium or installed into the terrarium lid with its attachment parts. Lamp and socket are fully covered by a reflector and protected from contact by animals through a wiremesh. The Thermo Socket LV Set is equipped with a halogen transformer suitable for 20-105W. The minimum load is one 20W lamp or two 10W Halogen Sun LV. The allowed maximum wattage is 105W which can be achieved e. G. by 3x 35W but also 3x 20W plus 1x 35W and 1x 10W. A lot of other lamp combinations are possible. The system is extremely flexible and capable.
