The ExoTerra Dart Frog 18" cube
I offer several options for lighting up this 18" cube. The top that comes with it offers some challenges for most lighting systems that don't have a lot of front to back depth, since it essentially has two lighting zones, one glass and one screen.

The good news with the screened area is that adding a 12" T5 UV bulb is easy, but the screen isn't the best when it comes to allowing a lot of LED light into the back half of the display.
The first light panel option is designed to sit just in front of the glass opening area, at 17x14, it's a low profile design.

The second option would be my choice. It's a 17x17 panel and designed to look more like a hood with a 2 inch tall profile that can go over misters, fans and allows for more air circulation and less heat buildup. To further increase air flow and cooling, a small fan(s) can be added to the inside front edge of this 2 inch tall panel.


On both panels, 3 LED strips are positioned over both the front glass opening and the rear screen opening, for a total of 6 strips.
