Design and application
A Gemini700 lamp fixture is used for assuring the living conditions close to the natural for the pets living
in terrarium. Thanks to the aluminum casing, it has a long life.
This equipment can be connected to a 230 V∼ / 50 Hz mains power using a C13 and plug connector
cable:
In design, we have focused on maximizing the efficiency of different light sources with regard to
appearance and safety. To this end, a reflective plate is placed inside the lamp fixture, and down
oriented sockets ensure a more efficient use of light and heat. The cutouts on the top of the lamp fixture
facilitate the exchange of terrarium air through the flow of natural cold and warm air. Good heat
dissipation and fit to the terrarium as well as the overall view of the terrarium and the lamp fixture were
also important aspects.
The side E27 sockets are designed to be directed downwards. In this way, the effect of the light or heat
source used in it is much more utilized. In order to make better use of UV light, a reflective plate was
installed, which also directs the rays towards the terrarium.

2 right E27 socket

There are four light or heat sources to be chosen. These can be operated with three separate switches.
1 mains power cord
2 switch of the right E27 socket
3 switch of the G5 and middle E27 sockets
4 switch of the left E27 socket
Light or heat sources that can be placed in sockets should be selected according to the needs of our pet
living in the terrarium, taking into account its power and type of light. The operating time of each light
source depends on the animal's needs and the type chosen. Please consult the breeder or the seller
before use. Any wrong light source cannot meet the animal's related needs, and in extreme cases the
animal may die!

Attention! If you use a T5 fluorescent lamp, the center socket E27 will also be under mains
voltage when it is turned on!
It is advisable to take into account the animal's frequent location and to select the appropriate socket and
light source accordingly. Please pay close attention to ensure that the light and heat source enter the
terrarium! UV light through glass loses its effectiveness. Place the lamp fixture over a metal mesh or
densely perforated metal plate. Contact the terrarium manufacturer, the animal breeder or the seller if
necessary. The metal mesh or densely perforated plate also prevents the animal from contacting the
lamp.

Loads with maximum power:
● E27 socket on the left, up to 100 W
● E27 socket on the right, up to 100 W
●EITHER G5 socket, up to 24 W (550mm T5 or T5HO fluorescent lamp) OR E27 middle socket,
up to 26 W
When installing the loads, consider the day and night location of the animal. To do this, consult your
terrarium maker, breeder or seller. When setting up the terrarium, also consider the animal's needs and
the physical design of the lamp fixture. A lamp emitting in the wrong place or direction loses its
effectiveness. Observe the effective distance specified by the manufacturer of the light or heat source.

Installation steps
● Insert the light sources of your choice into the appropriate socket. Take care of the maximum
allowed power level!
● The T5 fluorescent lamp is very fragile, handle with care!
installation of T5 fluorescent lamp
removal of T5 fluorescent lamp
● Place the prepared lamp fixture on top of the terrarium so that the light sources are down. Pay
attention to the position of the lamp fixture on the metal mesh or perforated metal plate on the top
of the terrarium. Light and heat must enter through it the terrarium!
● Fluorescent tubes are hazardous waste! Please do not dispose of in municipal waste, but in
designated waste disposal sites.
● If necessary, check the position of the silicone rubber at the bottom of the lamp fixture. This
ensures that the equipment is properly adhered to the glass parts of the terrarium.
● Connect the mains power cord!
● Use the switches to select the light source you want to operate.
● Check the temperature in the terrarium several times a day to prevent harm to the animal. If the
area is too hot, adjust the heating settings in the menu system and / or use a lower power heat or
light source.
● Remember to turn the lights on and off to suit the needs of the animal in the terrarium. Check with
your dealer or breeder.
