[QUOTE="JF24, post: 486615, member: 31825"] Hi there, Just recently joined and wondered if any of you guys could offer some advice/ tips for a challenge I'm facing. I'm a tortoise keeper and I've recently been designing a setup to house a non-hibernating species over winter. This, of course, requires the use of heat lamps and UV-B lighting. The UV-B lighting is provided by a fluorescent tube in a canopy with reflector. I would very much like to control the increase and decrease of UV intensity over the course of the day in line with a wild habitat. For example, UV output is lower in the morning, reaches its highest intensity just after midday and then slowly declines until sunset. I would like to use some kind of electric pulley system that could raise/ lower the UV-B unit via a timer to replicate the UV increase/ decrease just as it is in nature? Any advice, links etc would be much appreciated! Thanks, J [/QUOTE]
