This energy-efficient Exo Terra Forest Canopy LED with integrated ballast is an ideal light source for bioactive planted terrariums.
The large amount of visible light contributes to the physiological well-being of your reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates and allows them to experience and perceive the colors in their environment in a more natural way.

The Forest Canopy LED's specific wavelength composition and high light intensity contribute significantly to sustainable, lush plant growth.

The 6,500 K of the Forest Canopy LEDs simulates the conditions of unfiltered pure sunlight in the treetops of a tropical forest, and orchids, bromeliads, tillandsias (air plants), carnivorous plants, mosses and lichens growing in the upper layers of the forest thrive under the photosynthetically active radiation of the Exo Terra Forest Canopy LED.

The wavelengths -- consisting of blue, green, red and even traces of far red -- encourage healthy growth, enhance the splendor of the colors of leaves, stems and roots and even promote flower formation.

The base of the lamp can be rotated at a 300° angle to focus the wide beam of light on a specific area in the terrarium where lush plant growth is desired.
