Question: Bio active set up - lighting needs?

[Joefish]

Hi everyone

I am new to the forum and also new to the world of keeping terrestrial salamanders (my axie is 10 years old and going strong) - I would really love to set up a bio active viv for a pair of fire salamanders however I'm really not sure of what lamp would be suitable to support the growth of live plants but also conscious that nearly everything I read suggests keeping the tank at fairly low temperatures?

Any advice on good bulbs to use / plant species that work welll with the bulbs would
Be really appreciated.

Thank you!
Joe

I would suggest LED lights, as even the bright ones produce virtually no heat. Here are two brands that I've used with good results:
