You have a very powerful moonlight. Is that going to be that bright for viewing at night?

Actually, I do not have plans to have any lights on at night, especially not all this LED Moonlight! It is SUPER BRIGHT! (You are right 100%).
Maybe a small red light (have not delved too deep into the lighting schedule yet).

Actually, I wasn't planning on using the "real world" type lighting system option (whew, that's a mouthful), where it replicates an actual 24 hour day. However, until I actually read the manuals on these lights, I guess I shouldn't say never.
The Bronx Zoo's World of Darkness exhibit(it has been closed now for quite some time) was one of my favorite exhibits of all time. Their animals had their sleep cycles changed, to sleep at night (all the lights were on at night in the exhibit), and then they had red and black lights on all day. So there are some amazing things that can be done with artificial light!

I have some plans that I have not revealed yet, having to do with education and with some of my school contacts, so I have some cool things in the works, lighting plays an important role.

For my build I'm actually going to use LED lighting for a few hours at night to replicate the moon being out and going behind clouds. I'll also be able to sleep without light then!

That's cool I have seen many impressive things done with black light so that will be cool if you can incorporate that.

Are you only going to have LED or will you have any UVB lights?

When I post pics of the lights, I will show you the remote. It has a bunch of different modes, including lightning storm, clouds and sun, night, etc.

The light inside the "cave or passageway" is an LED as well, but with a limited amount of options. This is just to give some plants light that are under this area.

I know the benefit of UVB lights for reptiles, mourning geckos do not need it, but are there other reasons to have it?

Started installing the mud/rock wall and faux ruins! It's starting to look like something...

Attaching the Fernwood from www.fernwoodnz.com and www.acadiansupply.com !

Placing faux rocks, driftwood, no sleep...oh well, it is a lot of fun!
