Arcadia LumenIZE T5 to T5 1.2 M Link Cable – easily connect two UVB fixtures
The Arcadia LumenIZE T5 to T5 1.2 M Link Cable has been specially developed to connect two Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB lighting systems.
With this practical extension cord, you can connect multiple UVB lamps to a single compatible power source. This reduces the number of individual power cords and outlets you need, keeping the setup around the terrarium neat and organized.
The cable is 120 centimeters long and is equipped with connectors specifically designed for the Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 series.
This makes the connecting cable particularly useful for larger terrariums, reptile enclosures, and professional terrarium setups that use multiple UVB lamps.
Connecting Multiple LumenIZE T5 UVB Bulbs
With the Arcadia LumenIZE T5 to T5 1.2 M Link Cable, you can connect multiple compatible T5 UVB fixtures in a chain.
The principle is simple: connect the first fixture to a suitable power source. Then use the connecting cable to connect the next LumenIZE Pro T5 fixture.
This creates a daisy-chained lighting system in which multiple lights share the same power connection.
According to Arcadia, up to ten compatible LumenIZE units can be linked, provided that the system’s maximum allowable load is not exceeded.
This makes the system particularly well-suited for terrarium owners who use multiple UVB lamps and want to install their lighting neatly.
Compatible with Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB Kits
The Arcadia LumenIZE T5 to T5 1.2 M Link Cable is intended exclusively for connecting compatible Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB systems.
The cable can be used with, among others, compatible LumenIZE models from the following series:
- Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB Kit ShadeDweller
- Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB Kit ShadeDweller Max
- Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB Kit Forest
- Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB Kit Desert
- Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB Kit Dragon
This allows you to combine different UVB models within a single lighting system.
The connection cable is not compatible with conventional Arcadia Pro T5 fixtures that do not feature LumenIZE technology.
Individual control via the LumenIZE app
A key advantage of the LumenIZE system is that the connected fixtures retain their own lighting programs.
Although multiple lights are connected to a single power source, they do not all have to be set to the same brightness.
Each compatible LumenIZE fixture has internal electronics that store the settings individually.
Using the free Arcadia LumenIZE app, you can set a custom program for each lamp.
For example, you can set one UVB light to turn on early in the morning, while a second light turns on at a different time.
The light intensity and duration of sunrise and sunset may also vary by fixture.
The connecting cable provides the electrical connection; the individual lights are controlled via the LumenIZE technology of the connected lights.
Fewer cables and outlets around the terrarium
With larger terrariums or multiple reptile enclosures, the wiring can quickly become a tangled mess.
When each UVB lamp requires its own power cord, this often results in multiple cords and plug connections behind or above the terrarium.
With the Arcadia LumenIZE T5 to T5 1.2 M Link Cable, you can reduce the number of individual power connections.
This results in a neater installation and makes it easier to connect multiple fixtures in an organized manner.
This is a practical advantage, especially for terrarium setups, large vivariums, and professional reptile enclosures.
Cable length of 120 centimeters
The Arcadia LumenIZE T5 to T5 Link Cable is 1.2 meters long.
This length provides enough flexibility to place two compatible T5 fixtures some distance apart.
This allows you to use the cable with larger terrariums or with lighting that is distributed across multiple enclosures placed side by side.
Furthermore, the 120-centimeter length makes it possible to route the cable neatly along the ceiling or the back of the terrarium.
Make sure the cable is not pulled too tight, and avoid sharp kinks or damage to the connectors.
IP65 Water-Resistant Version
The Arcadia LumenIZE T5 to T5 1.2 M Link Cable has an IP65 rating.
This means that, when installed correctly, the connection assembly is protected against dust and water jets in accordance with the applicable test conditions.
As a result, the connecting cable is suitable for use in a wide variety of terrarium setups, including humid tropical enclosures.
The IP65 rating does not mean that the cable or the connectors are suitable for use underwater.
Make sure all connections are made correctly and follow Arcadia’s installation instructions.
Difference between T5 to T5, T5 to LED, and LED to LED
Arcadia has developed three different LumenIZE connection cables.
These models have different connectors and are not interchangeable.
| Connection Cable | Application |
|---|---|
| T5 to T5 | Connecting two LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB fixtures |
| T5 to LED | Connect the LumenIZE Pro T5 to the LumenIZE JungleDawn LED Bar |
| LED to LED | Connecting Two LumenIZE JungleDawn LED Bars |
The Arcadia LumenIZE T5 to T5 Link Cable is therefore intended exclusively for connecting two compatible LumenIZE T5 fixtures.
Would you like to combine a UVB fixture with a JungleDawn LED Bar? If so, choose the separately available T5 to LED Link Cable.
Ideal for larger terrariums and reptile enclosures
With larger terrariums, multiple UVB fixtures are sometimes used to create proper light distribution.
It can also be useful in reptile enclosures to equip different terrariums with individually adjustable lighting.
The Arcadia LumenIZE T5 to T5 Link Cable allows you to use multiple compatible fixtures from a single suitable power source.
In addition, each lamp can maintain its own lighting program.
This is particularly useful, for example, when different species of reptiles are kept in separate terrariums and do not all require the same light intensity or day length.
Always check the maximum load of the connected system before connecting multiple fixtures.
