Arcadia PureSun Mini Bird Lighting Kit Reviews

This PureSun Mini Lighting Kit, made by the experts at Arcadia, comes with everything you need to provide full spectrum UV light for your smaller pet birds.
It also allows your bird to make their own Vitamin D3. Having optimum levels of Vitamin D3 helps keep your bird in good health. It is essential for proper calcium metabolism, for normal growth, maintenance of strong bones and egg production.
Your birds have specialised retinas that enable them to see colours in the UV spectrum, helping them to recognise mates, locate food, and identify different species. Without UVA, birds are deprived of the full colour spectrum they see in nature and are colour blind. Unlock their world and let your bird see it in full colour.
UVA is essential for the psychological health of your bird. Using lighting that emits UVA can also help to curb feather picking and other destructive behaviours. It also promotes singing in songbirds.
As always, this high-quality flicker free lamp is guaranteed to be UV potent for 12 whole months, based on usage of up to 12 hours per day. The bulb should be 150mm (7") from your bird's head.
After 12 months we recommend you replace the bulb
- Please see product 828154
This kit comes with 8watt linear Arcadia Bird Light 2.4% UV-B, highly polished UK made acrylic bracket, cable clips to keep the cable away from the bird and fittings kit.
PureSun-Mini Bird Lighting Kits can even be linked up if you have more than one cage. Simply use the Mini Link Cable (optional product code 828161) to power one kit from another without having to find extra wall sockets.
EU adaptor not supplied.
The replacement bulb is product code 828154.

The lamp(s) excellent however they do not fit my sized cages very well. I have two cages both Gamma. As new owner I am learning from my mistakes . The lamps are great & my two lineolated parakeets happily sit on perch contentedly. I could do with purchasing a free standing pole to fix lights too, any ideas please? Also my cages have top openings in addition to door on front. So to sum up great product check it fits your cage

I bought this light due to the Avian vet recommend for parrot plucking. this winter is really rare to have good sunny day. this light is really helpful that I have used 3 weeks, my parrot stopped plucking, hope the new feathers can grow back soon.

I was advised by David at Northern parrots that the Arcadia compact would be the better option for my quakers and Conures like I ordered for my Grey. on trying it out on the smaller cages I felt it looked ungainly and to get the height required for those particular lights I would have to construct a gantry to hold them not aesthetically pleasing. I opted for these and I can say I Am pleased with the decision. they are easy to install and I had the option of connecting 3 lights with 2 connection cables which was another reason for buying these as I could connect all 3 lights to a segment timer. They actually seem brighter than the compact light I bought for my African grey. It seems to have cheered the little guys up in the 24 hours I have been using them. The acrylic stands are quite stylish. I have reinforced cabling with animal proof sheathing but have made sure the cables are out of beak reach! this just makes a reassuring second defence against a shock. They are switched off when the parrots are out. They seem to be singing more and eating more! Highl recommended especially from Northern parrots who give exceptional help and advice when required and though priced the same at a certain online retailer does not come with the service as comes from Northern Parrots.

I put it together but it didnt work because I didnt put the bulb in properly. I took the light fitting off the stand at the front and discovered it needs a sort of twist to put in place and it worked fine. I just screwed it back on to the stand and it fine. Our budgies now have vitamin d.

I am absolutely satisfied of this product... I searched for weeks in Italy a good, efficient, adaptive and well designed uv lamp but here you can find always the same, few models and they do not convinced me at all. I chose to buy this one in spite of the english plug because is perfect for my needs. But beware of the risk of the electric shock: cover or hide the wire to avoid chewing and bad consequences. I put some kind of sheet between the cage and the wall to protect it from excrements so I use it also to hide wire from parrots.

The bars of my birds cage was a bit too thick, so the light did move a bit. But it works well and my birds enjoy sitting underneath it. Very handy as my back garden doesnt get much sun.
