Zoo Med Avian Sun Compact Fluorescent Bird Lamp, 26-watt
Bring the sun indoors for your bird pals with the Zoo Med Avian Sun Compact Fluorescent Bird Lamp. This lamp is specially designed to provide beneficial UVA and UVB―the full spectrum of natural sunlight that birds need to thrive and stay healthy, both physically and psychologically. Birds need UVB to make vitamin D3 which is essential for growth, overall health, and reproduction, and they use UVA to see colors, recognize mates, locate food, and identify different species. This compact fluorescent bulb provides a balanced light spectrum and is self-ballasted so you can use it in most fixtures, either indoors or outdoors.

I recently purchased this light for my conure's cage as the cage is located in a very dim location in my house. She was having problems with what seemed like depression to me and the doc said she needed a full spectrum light on her cage. She was missing out on Vit. D. Since I have installed the lamp the turn around in Kahlo is wonderful!! The only problem was that I could not find the lamp stand that goes with the bulb. I ended rigging something up and it does the trick, but I wish that I could have purchased the matching floor lamp for the bulb from Chewy also.

This bulb must be above cage. It cannot be alongside of it, in a standing lamp, even when the shade is adjustable. It can't be where the bird looks directly at it. My cage is 6 ft. high. I wasted twenty dollars on this bulb, as it is of no use to me. You basically have to purchase the adjustable lamp that the manufacturer sells.

I'm thrilled with this light! Each bird has their own and get to experience this light all day. I turn them on first thing in the morning and off for the night. Highly recommend this for your bird and his or her health! Be sure to angle it where people are not looking directly at the bulb. While these are very beneficial for your bird, I have read they can be harmful to the human eye. That's why I use the zoo med floor lamps and angle these over top each cage. The light stays focused on the birds area.
