Description
Arcadia ProT5 Hanging Light Mount (pair) for Vivariums & Terrariums
Designed specifically for the Arcadia ProT5 lighting system, this custom 3D printed hanging mount allows you to securely suspend your UVB lighting above vivariums, terrariums, reptile enclosures, and bioactive setups using a simple screw-fit mounting system.
Unlike traditional light risers that simply elevate fixtures above a mesh lid, this hanging mount is designed for more permanent or professional installations where lighting needs to be mounted directly onto wooden vivarium racks, shelving systems, cabinets, breeding setups, or display units.
The elevated hanging design improves airflow around the lighting fixture, helps reduce trapped heat above the enclosure, and creates a cleaner overall appearance compared to lights simply resting on top of mesh.
Ideal For:
- Arcadia ProT5 UVB lighting systems
- Dart frog vivariums
- Tropical terrariums
- Bioactive reptile setups
- Planted enclosures
- Breeding racks and shelving systems
- Custom vivarium installations
Benefits of a Suspended Lighting Setup
- Improves airflow around lighting fixtures
- Helps reduce heat build-up above mesh lids
- Creates a cleaner and more professional appearance
- Allows easier access for maintenance and misting
- Improves cable management
- Ideal for custom wooden vivarium racks and shelving
- Designed specifically around Arcadia ProT5 dimensions for a secure fit
This mount is particularly useful in tropical and bioactive setups where airflow and temperature management are important. Raising the fixture away from the enclosure also allows more flexibility when positioning misting nozzles, ventilation panels, and planted hardscape features.
Each mount is 3D printed to order and designed with practicality, durability, and ease of installation in mind.
Compatibility
Designed specifically for Arcadia ProT5 fixtures.
Please ensure your mounting surface is suitable before installation. Screws/fixings may vary depending on your chosen setup and are not always included.

UVB & Lighting Safety Review
Last reviewed: 5 September 2026
This product guidance has been reviewed against peer-reviewed amphibian UVB/vitamin D research and current Frogfather husbandry guidance.
Important: a riser, stand or mount positions a lamp; it does not by itself establish a safe or appropriate UVB exposure. UVB reaching an animal depends on the lamp and reflector, distance, mesh or other obstruction, angle, enclosure layout and the species being kept. Where UVB is used, provide a gradient with effective shade and assess exposure at animal level rather than choosing a setup from the percentage printed on the lamp alone.
Published amphibian evidence supports a biological role for UVB and vitamin D3, but does not establish one universal UVB requirement or one fixed lamp percentage/distance for all amphibians or all dart frogs.
