Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED Bar – 15W Full Spectrum Lighting

The Arcadia Jungle Dawn LED Bar 15W is a high-output, full-spectrum LED lighting system designed to dramatically increase visible light levels in reptile enclosures. It delivers intense, natural illumination that supports plant growth, bioactive systems, and natural reptile behaviour by providing high-quality visible light across the full terrestrial spectrum.

Unlike narrow-beam or colour-biased LED lamps, Jungle Dawn uses a dense array of LEDs to project a wide, even flood of light with no harsh hotspots, striping, or unnatural purple hue. This makes it ideal for planted vivariums, arid desert setups, and modern naturalistic enclosures when paired with UVB lighting.

Jungle Dawn LED Bars are slim, linkable, energy-efficient, and designed to work seamlessly alongside Arcadia ProT5 UVB systems to create a complete, biologically effective lighting environment.

Key Benefits:

• High-output full-spectrum LED bar for reptile enclosures
• Extremely high light output (up to 138+ lumens per watt)
• Wide 120° beam for even enclosure coverage
• High PAR, PUR and CRI for plant growth and natural colour rendering
• No harsh hotspots, colour banding or purple hue
• Supports natural basking behaviour and visual stimulation
• Slim, low-profile design suitable for internal or mesh-top mounting
• Linkable with other Jungle Dawn LED bars and ProT5 UVB kits

Plant Growth & Bioactive Systems:

Plant growth depends on both the quantity and quality of visible light. Jungle Dawn LED Bars use a high density of LEDs to deliver large amounts of biologically useful light evenly across the enclosure, rather than concentrating brightness into narrow zones.

By avoiding heavily lensed or colour-separated LEDs, Jungle Dawn creates a natural flood of light that reduces shaded areas and supports consistent, healthy plant growth. The balanced spectrum closely matches natural sunlight and delivers high PAR and PUR values without sacrificing overall light output.

Independent testing shows that the Jungle Dawn LED Bar delivers very high PAR and usable light levels at common mounting distances, making it suitable for everything from mosses and ferns to more demanding tropical plants. The wide-beam design ensures this energy is spread evenly across the enclosure rather than concentrated into narrow hotspots.

This makes Jungle Dawn ideal for:

• Planted and bioactive vivariums
• Tropical and forest enclosures
• Hydroponic and moss-based systems

Arid & Desert Enclosures:

Many diurnal reptiles respond strongly to light intensity, not just heat or UVB. Jungle Dawn LED Bars dramatically increase visible light levels over basking zones, helping to stimulate natural behaviour and supporting the reptile’s circadian and hormonal responses.

When combined with Arcadia Desert or Dragon UVB lamps, Jungle Dawn fills the visible-light gap that UV lamps alone cannot provide, creating a brighter, more natural basking environment that better reflects sunlight conditions in the wild.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does the Jungle Dawn LED provide UVB?
No. Jungle Dawn provides visible light only. It should be used alongside a suitable UVB lamp such as an Arcadia ProT5 UVB system.

Is this suitable for planted vivariums?
Yes. Jungle Dawn is designed to support strong, healthy plant growth and is ideal for bioactive setups.

Can this be used in desert enclosures?
Yes. Increased visible light levels help stimulate basking behaviour and improve enclosure brightness when paired with UVB and a suitable heat source.

Can I link this with other lights?
Yes. Jungle Dawn LED Bars can be linked together and also linked directly to Arcadia ProT5 UVB kits to reduce cable clutter.
