Many of us take the change of seasons for granted. It’s important to remember that most of the birds in our care come from regions near the equator. That means your feathered companion or little flock, expects 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness.

Lighting doesn’t need to be fancy. Just a lamp with a timer next to a cage. (please remember, keep electrical cords out-of-sight and inaccessible) Companion parrots will be rewarded with fewer behavior disorders. Small and large species of birds will feel and look better with the proper cycle of sunlight provided by a simple full-spectrum bulb.

Don’t forget to cover the cage when the light goes out.

* Light quality diminishes over time, it is highly recommended to replace your Full Spectrum bulbs after one year of use.

Natural light from the sun and sky has a balanced spectrum, rendering colors perfectly. Most artificial bulbs emit light rays in a narrow scope of the visual spectrum. This full-spectrum bulb helps pet birds see better, feel better, and create a healthy indoor environment. Incandescent lamps provide light, but they don’t provide the same healthy, natural light as the sun. The 100-watt CF Full-Spectrum Bulb simulates the full-spectrum natural outdoor sunlight to provide a healthier indoor environment while also saving energy. The full-spectrum bulb also lasts about 10 times longer than standard incandescent bulbs.

These lamps are equivalent to a 100w Incandescent lamp but, use only 23w of energy. Meaning yes, you can use this lamp in a socket that is rated 60W maximum since you are only using 23 watts.
