I am one of those people who do use extra lighting for my tarantulas, although I may be toning mine down a bit. Others disagree and I understand that.
Red lights are very good too, especially to watch the tarantulas at night as they don't see that spectrum apparently and act as normal.

Hopefully others will chime in. I think your light may be a little too bright, but in general I am fine with lighting.

Sorry, I hope I did not take the wind out of your sail. Or rain on your parade, or pee on your leg. I am a big fan of added light as I hope to eventually recreate the T's original environment. And yes many Ts spend most of their lives secluded in a burrow, but they still can do that in captivity.
Tarantulas probably don't need that light, but some plants in the enclosure do require added light.
I think I have dug myself into a deep enough hole so I will stop here. For now...maybe...

I just used the white light for demonstrating the remote aspect. It actually has 10 different color choices and is only clicked on when needed. Otherwise no lighting is on my Ts except soft room light. I've got about 20yrs or more total experience so UNLESS I ASK, I'VE GOT THIS. I was just showing the completed project. Always looking for flaws isn't really a good thing. Ok?

Wow

My apologies. For some reason I assumed you were experimenting with lighting, and I did not check your previous messages before adding my two cents.

I too wasn't meaning to sound rude at all it's just you'd made comments about the lid AND the lights and I wanted you to know not to worry because I'm not a newbie. I also research EVERYTHING thoroughly before I do anything. I love sharing affordable and practical ways to enjoy the hobby. Too many people in this hobby are so quick to want to criticize and point out negatives and it does discourage people who are new and I guess it's a pet peeve of mine, sorry.

See?! I can turn them on white light or one of NINE other colors! A pack of 20 of these lights, batteries included with 2 remotes was $28 on Amazon.

I can attach one on the inside of the lid of all my enclosures.

I guess I can be a little too eager to want to help.
Lesson learned....maybe.
