Bio Dude lighting FAQS and Installation/Warranty help. 

Here you will find everything you need to help you properly install your Bio Dude Solar Lamp Fixture, Solar Grow LED and Glow & Grow LEDs.  Providing a proper spectrum to your reptiles (UVB when required, natural sunlight and heat when required) plays a pivotal role in the overall well being of your animal. Supplying a proper photoperiod is also very important. Want to know more about photoperiods? Click here.
