Most of your Poecs would disappear and maybe all eastern Asian arboreals. The only OW arboreals tht stay out with mine on are Poecilotheria mirandas and metallicas.

Pretty much all my terrestrial stay out. But this is with LED. But whenever reason when I turn the room bulb on most run.
Thanks, looks like I'll forever be without lighting. Asians are among my favorite.

Got an update on my lighting, my LED's came today thanks to amazon so i got to work building what i can only describe as a "wooden lamp" to house the light strip, if anyone is looking for good LEDs i highly suggest the ones i used they are amazing!
Here is a step by step of my build for anyone who wants to do something like this themselves or for who ever is just curious :)

First i basically build a wooden box without a bottom and then just used a straight piece to make a stand and drilled the whole thing into the back of my desk (sorry i don't have any pictures on making the actual box) Then i painted the whole thing black

Then it was time to set up the LED strip, i glued the strip in place wrapping around the inner walls of the box and connected up the wires

And just for anyone wondering theres ZERO heat coming off these its awesome :D

I recently installed a different array of led lighting (changes the colour at the push of a button) on my T "bookcase" layout,to be honest the red led suits them best i have found as they don't seem to see the red spectrum of light as they would other changes of light colour at night. Just my observation ;)
