Lighting above enclosures

[Moonbreaker00]

I bought one of those 2X8 IKEA style cube shelves for my spiders. I am looking for some kind of lighting solution to put in each cube. This is somewhat for display, but also practical reasons. I like to feed them at night, when my lights are off. It fits with my schedule, and they seem to be out more often at night, as well as less skittish. Right now I use a dim headlamp with red and soft white options. I can see just fine like this, but its really annoying to wear, and with installed lights, I would be able to see more surface area. Does anyone havce any recommendations that fit something like this:

Hopefully something that can change color from at least red to white/warm yellow.
LED strips or something with multiple arms that can go at the top of each cube

As always, thank you!

How dark is the room that they're in? I had a cool little four-tiered shelf setup for my spiders when they were slings, & used those little zoo med domes affixed to the underside of each shelf for light initially, but found they did JUST FINE without it , as the room they were in was plenty bright itself...

The corner of the room they are in is pretty dim/shady. They seem to like it like that because most of them are out and about. During the day I wasn't planning to use these lights, mainly for when I turn the rest of the lights off in my room.

I don't know if I could fit those types of ZooMeds, some of their enclosures are rather tall. Something flat/thin probably necessary.

Google: been out for over 10 yrs. IKEA used to sell them for example

Ope I had no idea.

I didn't intend to waste anyones time, just looking for something that is known to work well within this community. I will check Ikea thank you!

I finally caved and got one of these for my spider room...


...so I could plug in a standard white bulb if I need it...I never do. I just use a red filament led bulb. Just make sure it's not painted red. The red bulb doesn't bother anyone, not even the pokies. White light will bother all your Ts. They will seek to evade it...if you didn't have pet holes you will soon.

I also have a few red led flashlights if I need to get a close inspection.

Something with an adjustable dimmer switch would be nice as well as color choices including red.

I ended up finding a "curtain" style light by govee that fit behind the tarantula shelves. It looks great, but without a remote it just does rainbow colors constantly. So I ordered a remote (instead of using the app) to set it to specific colors.
