Leopard Gecko Lighting

Leopard geckos need very little lighting to thrive. Unlike diurnal (day living) reptiles, they do not need any additional ultraviolet lighting. Most of their lighting needs can be fulfilled by the light that shines through the vivarium windows or regular commercially available fluorescent lighting.

Leopard Gecko Lighting Equipment

When the vivarium is used for displaying purposes or there is no means of natural lighting to lit the vivarium, additional Leopard gecko lighting equipment must be installed. This can be in the form of simple Leopard gecko fluorescent lighting tubes or bulbs. These lighting units do not emit a lot of heat and is cheap, long lasting and economical to run on a daily basis.

Any form of lighting can be connected to an automated Leopard gecko timer to keep the day and night times constant and more natural.

Leopard Gecko Light Fittings

Leopard gecko lighting is going to need some sort of light fittings. Fluorescent lighting can be in the form of screw-in or bayonet type fluorescent bulbs or fluorescent tubes. Make sure to get the appropriate fitting and match the fluorescent tube wattage with the fluorescent tube fitting capacity to prevent incompatibilities.
