Wi-Fi Controlled LED

The Wifi-controlled Exo Terra Tropical LED Light is an ideal light source for bio-active planted terrariums. The Tropical LED Light consists of 7 different band wave High Thermal Efficiency LEDs, including UVA and 12000K bright white LEDs, for extreme high light output and enhanced penetration. Its high visible light levels, in the correct spectrum, contribute to the physiological wellbeing of your reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates and lets them experience and perceive the colors in their environment more naturally. The UVA LEDs also contribute to the animal’s overall wellbeing and stimulate appetite, activity and reproductive behavior.
The high light intensity and enhanced penetration ensures that the light reaches all layers of vegetation, even the bottom layer, resulting in sustained lush plant growth. Orchids, Bromeliads, Tillandsias (air plants), carnivorous plants, mosses and lichen all thrive under the Exo Terra Tropical LED Light’s strong Photosynthetic Active Radiation.
The Wifi-controlled Tropical LED Light can be operated both manually or via the My Exo Terra app on your mobile device. The easy-to-use My Exo Terra App allows you to fully customise the light spectrum, sunrise & sunset and monitor and adjust these, according to the needs of the animals and plants housed in your terrarium, from anywhere in the world via your smartphone. Replicate light spectrums of specific seasons and unique climates to stimulate appetite and breeding behavior of your animals, enhance bud development and flowering in your plants, etc
The Exo Terra Tropical LED Light connects to your 2.4g wireless network without the need for an additional hub.

My Exo Terra App

The My Exo Terra App lets you monitor, control and program your Exo Terra smart terrarium devices via your Android or iOS device. It allows you to adjust your lights, temperatures, humidifiers, water-levels, camera’s (and more…) for multiple terrariums or habitats, creating natural environments and set the right conditions with a tap on your smartphone. You can even use it to monitor & control your habitats remotely from anywhere in the world as long as the device is connected to a 2.4g wireless network. Download the FREE My Exo Terra App on your mobile device and connect your Exo Terra smart devices to program and control the environment in your terrariums.
For instance; at dawn you can set the My Exo Terra App to simulate sunrise, turn on your UV lights at a certain time and higher your temperature over the course of the day. At dusk, you can reverse the conditions by reducing the temperature, turn off the UV lights and simulate sunset. If you have a wifi controlled Monsoon PRO hooked up, you can set a spray program at various times with various durations. You can even implement a seasonal Monsoon setting that will replicate the various rainy seasons during the year. By using the wifi controlled Humidifier (PRO?) you can regulate a daily humidity fluctuation as well as a seasonal fluctuation, similar to the humidity your animals and plants experience in their environment.

5. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or electrical socket getting wet, position the unit to one side of a wall-mounted socket to prevent water from dripping onto the socket or plug. A “drip-loop” should be arranged. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the socket, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming into contact with the socket. If the plug or socket does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance.
