LUMENIZE PRODUCT AND APP INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT INSERT LAMPS OR LINK FURTHER KITS WITH THE POWER SWITCHED
ON. RISK OF FAILURE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
T5 lamp install. With the power cable removed unclick lamp locks and remove the rubber
lamp-holders by gently pulling upwards. Plug these directly onto the T5 lamp taking care
that the pins line up with the sockets inside of the lamp holders (do not force). When both
lamp holders are fully pressed onto the lamp push them both into the LumenIZE T5 fitting
together fully, being sure that the pins are lined up and pushed into the bar fully. Replace the
lamp locking clips into the locked position.
Do not place heat lamps over or very closely to these lamps. Ensure adequate airflow around the
lamps. This will help prolong life and running programmes.
The IP65 standard. IP65 denotes the tested level of water resistance that will protect
the lamp and fitting from usual humidity, condensation, and dust. Arcadia Reptile T5 and
JungleDawn-LED Bar 'LumenIZE' products have been tested to the IP65 standard and are
classified as being 'water resistant' . Direct powerful spraying of the fittings must be avoided;
However, the usual use of sprayers, humidifiers and rain systems is possible. Be careful to
not place rain or fogging devices so that they emit over or directly onto the fittings. Do not
submerge the fitting, protect from direct jets of water).
DO NOT USE WITH TIMERS IF THE PRODUCT IS CONNECTED TO THE APP, LumenIZE products
when connected to the LumenIZE app have an inbuilt clock that has a battery back-up. If timers*
are used this will remove all power from the fitting when off and needlessly drain the battery.
*#thermostat light sockets, #smart, #mechanical, # digital. Connect directly to mains. Surge
protectors are advised.
We advise that you open the app and open each lamp within the app monthly. This will send to
the lamp up to date running data and also refresh the clock.
Open the app and connect to each kit if changing time zones, or for seasonal time changes.
In doing so the app will send new data to the clock to each bar as you connect to them
all individually.
Sunrise/sunset cycles can be programmed to suit your species locality. A good sample could
look like this. 06.00 = 0%, 11am 100%, 3pm 100%, 7pm 0%. It is essential to bookend each
cycle at 0%. In this way, between 6am and 11am the output of the lamp will increase from
being off at 0% and 100% output very slowly until 11am. At 11am the lamp will be running at
full power. We must then add in a stabilising time to maintain the midday sun output of 100%.
It is by adding in a second time at 3pm of 100% we instruct the lamp to maintain 100% output
between 11am and 3pm. From 3pm and until 7pm the output of the lamp will start to reduce
very slowly until it finally reaches 7pm and the lamp will turn off fully. It is within a programme
such as this that we find the most naturalistic sunrise sunset pattern, but also greatly reduce
energy spend. If we programmed 05.59 at 0% and 6am 100% and 5.30pm 0% we would be
programming an unnatural cycle. In this way the lamp would go from 0% to 100% between
06.00 and 06.01am. Then it would start to come down again from 100% at 6.01am and 0% at
5.30pm very slowly. There would be no sunrise and a very brief period of 100% output from
6am but decreasing from 06.02am.
LumenIZE uses true dimming, not stepped output, this process is more fluid in LED than T5 due to
the nature of fluorescent lamps and the requirement for constant element heating. Internal clocks
are accurate to 2 mins in average and should be refreshed by opening the lamp on the app monthly.
T5 lamps require a certain amount of energy to start safely. Therefore, with LumenIZE control we
have programmed into the function of the fitting a 'safe start' mechanism. This is to protect the
lamp, reduce rolling and ensure a long lamp and kit life. It is therefore advised that if programming
a T5 lamp to run at a low % of output that you select a % that is over 20% of total output. This
is automated when the programme is running. I.e you can programme a 0% to 100% reduction,
and this will be operated safely by the internal programming via our safe-start function. It is not
advised to run a time schedule that instructs a lamp to turn on and off again fully within a half an
hour period or shorter. This may confuse the programming and the lamp will remain illuminated.
Linking; Both ProT5 and JungleDawn-LED Bar with LumenIZE ability can be linked with the
addition of a suitable linking cable (sold separately). LumenIZE branded fittings cannot be mixed
with non-LumenIZE ProT5/JungleDawn-LED Bar. LumenIZE ProT5 and JungleDawn-LED Bar
use differing plugged connectors, the design is different due to IP65 waterproofing. As such 3
differing link cables are available separately. This will offer connection between T5 to T5 or LED
to LED and T5 to LED. Please see data printed on the bar for the maximum number of bars that
can be linked in a chain. Linking does NOT transfer LumenIZE programming from lamp to lamp.
Each lamp is controlled via internal memory and as set via the Arcadia Reptile LumenIZE App. In
this way, every lamp in a linked chain can have a different programme of function.
BASIC LUMENIZE APP CONTROL
The LumenIZE APP has been specifically designed to offer ease of control. The APP is very
intuitive and does not have any wasteful or unrequired function. LumenIZE can be used with
most phones and tablets. Use the QR code on the product box, links from our website or visit
the App provider store on your device.
1. Download the LumenIZE APP via the QR code or search within your APP providers store.
2. Accept the pop up message that allows Bluetooth to function. Ensure that Bluetooth is
switched on for your device before trying to connect to a lamp.
3. After installing the Arcadia Reptile LumeniZE lamp and with the power on, the APP should
automatically display your lamp by wattage and type under 'Device name' . Press the screen
within the lamp box and this will select the lamp for control and the APP screen will fill with
data. If you 'press and hold' the lamps name, a pop-up will appear to allow you to change the
lamp name. (you can add up to 50 lamps to one App). If your lamp does not automatically
appear, please press the 'My Devices' button which will start a new scan.
4. If you press the 'full power test' button the lamp will dim to 0% and come back on again. This
can help you find a lamp where many are used and can also be used to refresh lamps.
5. Next to the 'full power test' button is a 'cog' . Press this to set a password per lamp* may not
be available on all devices.
6. You will see a slider central to the page. This allows you to both turn your LumenIZE cycle
programme on/off but also to obtain manual control of a lamp. If the green button says 'on'
this means that your pre-selected programme of dimming is running, and that the dimming
slider is not operable. If the button says 'off' it means that the auto-run programme is 'off' and
that the lamp is being controlled by hand by the slider. (please also see point 15)
7. LumenIZE has 2 pre-set 'Light cycles' should you wish to use them. Or you can create up to 5
custom settings of your choice for easy lamp control. Further to this, each lamp can have its own
cycles programmed also should you so wish, (programming is internal to the lamp, not the device).
8. Setting up a bespoke programme is easy. Select the lamp that you wish to control. Press
Custom mode 1-5. Press ' A dd time slot' . Use the wheels to select your first time in the AM.
This should be set via the slider to 0%. Press ok. Press ' A dd time slot' and add in the time that
you wish the lamp to be running at 100% (this maybe 12 midday or similar). Move the slider
up to 100% in this time slot. Again, press 'add time slot' and repeat at 0% for lights out. You
can have any variation and as many 'time slot' function commands as you wish. As example,
you may wish to run at 50% out for a certain time, or to prolong periods of lower energy to
provide seasonality. The choice is always yours with LumenIZE.
9. When you have set up the daily function that you wish to run it is easy to 'copy and paste' this
to other lamps. Simply press 'Save schedule' , select another lamp and press 'apply schedule' .
10. If you wish to delete a 'time slot' , simply press and hold that time slot over the 'clock' and a
'delete time slot' button will appear.
11. Pressing 'brightness' at the bottom of the screen will show you a graph of your lighting pattern.
12. The 'My devices' button will scan for LumenIZE devices.
13. The 'My animals records' button is simply a page that allows you to make notes.
14. Refresh each lamp monthly by pressing on the lamp and using the 'full power test' button.
This will refresh the programme and the internal clock
15. If manual control is lost at any time please press the 'full power test' button 3 times and wait.
Usually this is either a poor Bluetooth signal or the lamp is already midway through a process.
Manual control will return when the process has completed. This is usually within 2 mins.
16. LumenIZE LED and HOT5 products are not compatible with the standard LED Bar and ProT5
kits for linking. The LumenIZE app does not add any control to the Non-LumenIZE range.
17. Password Reset; If you forget or lose a password for an individual kit you can reset the kit with a
simple manual process. Turn the lamp on as usual, switch the kit off for 3 seconds, then on for 1
second, then off for 3 seconds, the on for 1 second, then off for 3 seconds. Repeat this pattern 3
times and this will restore the factory settings. This will reset the lamp that is being controlled
with the switch, but will also reset ALL LAMPS in a chain if linked, please remove linking if you
do not wish to reset all lamps in the chain.
18. Backup battery exchange; ProT5 and JungleDawn-LED Bars with integrated LumenIZE
ability have been fitted with an internal battery back up. This simply means that the
programs that you set via the LumenIZE app are stored within the lamp itself rather than
on your device. This ensures continuing function of the program and clock in the event of
a power failure or any phone issues. The lamp will not illuminate in the event of a localised
power failure but the clock will continue to function. This means that when power is
returned to the product the clock is still running and the lamp will carry on within the
settings that you have created. If you choose to not use the product for any length of time
and it is removed from power, the clock will continue to run which will drain the battery.
You can stop this by using the reset function. The internal battery is a CR1220 standard
cell. The average life of this battery is 2-3 years within normal function. The battery can
however be replaced. Remove all power from the lamp (unplug). Being sure that the lamp is
unplugged use a smooth flat tool to gently lift up the plastic cover from the top of the bar,
taking care not to damage the seal. Lift the unit out carefully making sure that you do not
stretch the wiring or touch the components. Remove and replace the battery. Making sure
that the seal is in place, firmly replace the plastic cover into the unit, refresh your app and
adjust any settings that may have been interrupted.

c. LumenIZE product has been designed so that it can be used with or without use of the
LumenIZE app. In this way new products can be switched on at a pre-set 100% output
directly from the box. There is NO method to provide dimming control to this product
outside of use of the LumenIZE app. Therefore, dimming is not functional. In order to
benefit from programming the LumenIZE app should be used. If a previously used product
is used then it will arrive with the pre-existing programme running internally as set from
the previous use. This can be overridden by connecting the lamp to the LumenIZE App or
via the 'restart' process given in point (17).

e. Energy efficiency. Over a range of live tests, we found that Product used with the LumenIZE
App over a 9 hour cycle and with a 4 hour full 100% output saved 30% of electricity* used when
compared non-dimming lamps used over the same period. The length of day cycle, graduation
of dimming curve and period of running at 100% output will impact this average saving. *
Quoted test 8w ShadeDweller-Pro. 100% output for 9 hours = 0.07kwh. 8w ShadeDweller-Pro
with LumenIZE control = 0.05kwh. running at 246v 50hz. Measured with Ketotek meter.
f. The use of the Arcadia Reptile LumenIZE App is provided free of charge wherever possible*.
