Frequently Asked Questions -  Gemini700

If you can't find the answer to your question, write to us and we'll help!

1. What light sources can be connected to the lamp?

You can find them in the "connectable light and heat sources" section.
The type of the socket (E27, T5) and the maximum performance are both indicated.

2. What do you mean by 3 independent light sources?

Each of the bulbs can be manually turned on or off to your liking with switches on the rear of the lamp.

3. What size of terrarium can this lamp be used for?

The width of the lamp is 70cm. The size of the lamp is fixed, thus we recommend it for terrariums between 70 and 100 centimeters. Naturally, you can use it on even bigger terrariums, but it will not fully cover the roof of the terrarium in those cases.

All terrariums must be equipped with mesh grid lids. For recommendations regarding roof sizes and designs, see our PDF here: Gemini700 | Instructions / Warranty.

4. What is the directional sunbathing lamp?

Each of the bulbs can be manually turned on or off to suit your needs with switches on the rear of the lamp.

5. Can the light sources be combined as I like?

Yes. The locations for all three of the light and heat sources (i.e. infrared lamps) can be changed to suit your needs. However, pay attention to the maximum performances specified in the "connectable light and heat sources" section.

6. How does optimized heat dissipation work?

The lamp is made of aluminum that has been powder coated, resulting in a lamp capable of dissipating large amounts of heat. There are cutouts on the upper parts of the lamps for better ventilation around the bulbs and fluorescent tubes, which increases their durability. In the case of a competently assembled terrarium, heat dissipation is further assisted by the chimney effect.

7. What does the chimney effect mean?

If there is a lattice on the front and upper part of the terrarium, then the lamp placed on it moves the air upwards from the front, thanks to the warm air flowing through it. This is a natural effect due to the design, thus, it improves the ventilation of the terrarium to a great extent.

8. Where can I place the anti-slip silicone?

The anti-slip silicone rubber can be placed at the bottom of the lamp. Its task is to keep the lamp steadily on top of the terrarium. Thanks to the special silicone, stability is guaranteed even for a lamp with such size. It is important that silicone should be in contact with the glass for proper adhesion.

9. Are the UV tube and the bulbs included in the price?

No. The price includes the GEMINI700 luminaire, instructions manual, the warranty and the power cord for connecting. All necessary bulbs and tubes must be purchased separately according to your needs.
