This Compact Fluorescent Bird Light has been updated and re-designed for 2019. It emits as much UV as a full length fluorescent lighting tube and is ideal where space is at a premium or if a fluorescent tube won`t look `right`.
Although it`s only 20w it shines as brightly as an ordinary 100w bulb and will give your bird all the health benefits of natural sunlight.
It should be used between 6 - 8 hours a day.
Providing the correct levels of UVB allows your bird to synthesise Vitamin D3 in their skin, or through a special process involving the preening gland. Vitamin D3 is essential for proper calcium metabolism. This is necessary for normal growth, maintenance of strong bones and egg production.
Birds have specialised retinas that enable them to see UVA, 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.
Please note: Can only be used with Arcadia lamps, not Avian Sun/ZooMed.
EU adaptor not supplied.
