In the instructions for this cage it says do not allow heavy objects to rest on top panel screen. Can i put dome light fixtures on it? What is heavy? more then a pound? 5 pounds? trying to figure out lighting for my chameleon. Thank you :)

Hey, I'm in LA (away from my stands right now) but I think it supports up to 6lbs lights...I'll double check for you. However, the shipping weight isn't 50lbs it's light.

It sounds like they keep changing the design. Mine had screws in a bag. I couldn't pry the top or bottom off. I pushed the light panel in: no joy. I held it more-or-less horizontally by the metal strip in one hand and smacked that hand with my other one. After 3 smacks the bottom panel dropped down 1/8 inch and I was on my way . . .

Dome lights that don't fit with in the plastic supports tends to burn and melt. I avoided this by making a hang for the light. Should come with a canopy.

The combo light and basking light are used during the day. We turn both off at night but I am told you can leave a fluorescent light on if you want. Not sure what you mean by what goes under each but we put our light on top of the top/cage that sits on top of the glass tank. Food/h2o go inside the glass tank. We tried using a hammock but could never get it to stick to the glass tank properly and when our bearded dragon sat on the hammock her weight would make the hammock collapse.

I bolted a 2x4 to the non-movable frame of my tilting drafting table, and then clamped the lamp to that. That works OK. If it were attached to the movable table top, raising or lowering the top could unbalance the lamp.

mine holds the double dome no problem. the base is large and metal. If you tuck it under the terrarium or box or pot or whatever you want to light up then it will also stay stable.

the reptile lamp stand has a plate at the bottom that slides under the tank to keep in place and also is adjustable both for the height and for the light that hooks on. if your light does not have the wire attached to it to hang you need to get one that does. unless you can buy just the bracket. the lamp does not cost a lot of $$$ and are so nice to have.

I weigh 180 pounds and is OK for me to sit upon. I would not stand on it to change a lightbulb, as I do the wooden seat in my other bathroom. I hope that is helpful

I'm afraid you haven't given me enough information to answer your questions properly. Are you putting shelves in the tent or just one large plant(s) on the floor? The light will clamp onto wood or metal poles of various thickness, but not too wide. What do you mean by hood weight? The light once clamped is sturdy and stays in the position where you adjust/turn it.

The slider portion hooks into the tracks where the screen would slide in, and is 12 deep, it comes with a screen that fits in behind it but makes it very hard to move around. If you have the heavy metal top it would be fine sitting on top, if you have the mesh its going to be to heavy. I'm not sure what kind of reptile you have and if you have to worry about them escaping but I have a tortoise and use it without the mesh behind it. I love it, it works wonderfully and has made daily tasks in his enclosure so much easier. Its worth every penny and I'd buy it again with out a second thought.

That's very difficult... that fixture is not designed for that top. We suggest not using it with that enclosure.

The problem is not with the clamp where it attaches to your fixture, the problem is at the end where the clamp attaches to the lamp and lampshade. That part is so weak it will not support the weight of the lamp or lampshade so whenever you try to position it, it sags. The clamp attaches to the lamp body with some kind of screw type latch, and it is what is flimsy and weak for the weight it should be able to support. Now if you plan to use the clam where the lamp hangs upside down, then I this weakness will work for you. But I say, Don't buy it. Let the manufacturer make it work correctly, cause right now It sucks. Even the lampshade is flimsy, and can bend or dent easily.

Before and after assembly the T V stand weighs the same. The weight of the box before assembly is negligible. Although the stand is heavy (I don't remember the exact weight) and I am a small (4'11"), 70ish female, I had no problems maneuvering it. Try opening the box and moving a few parts at a time. Their are not a great deal of parts. It is sturdy...not flimsy. I had no difficulty getting it into my home, and putting it together. If you have a Phillips and a regular screw driver, lay your pieces out first (as you would with any project), read instructions, take your time! I think it is one of the better purchases for the price that I've made lately. Before and after assembly the T V stand weighs the same. The weight of the box before assembly is negligible.

If put a shade on it, you'll cover the part of the lamp that is supposed to vary light intensity in order to support the sleeping cycle. If you're trying to cover the bright display panel, then your shade would have to cover the entire lamp. I can't see that the lamp would serve any purpose if you did that.

An Iguana's claws and weight would just tear this cage apart. It is made with the same screen as a screen door so its not meant to have larger reptiles climbing it. This cage is great for chameleons and nothing larger than that. For an Iguana cage you will want to invest in a custom built one with heavy duty mesh, or buy a much more sturdy cage online that is meant for iguanas specifically.

I am currently using a light and umbrella combination that weigh's 20lbs and its solid!! Best investment for saving space in a studio. I anchored it into the drywall and unless an adult hangs from the armature ita not going anywhere.
