FULL SPECTRUM LIGHTING

FULL SPECTRUM LIGHTING

Full spectrum lighting plays an integral part in the health of your birds.

If your bird does not live outside, or receive daily natural sunshine year-round outdoors, full spectrum lighting is a necessity for your bird.

International customers: Please note that this light requires a 220V Converter. This converter must also be used when purchasing the full spectrum light bulbs.

An important benefit of full spectrum lighting is the effect it has on the glandular system; the Thyroid Glandcontrols how and when the other glands function and for it to function properly, it needs to be stimulated by normal photoperiods of full spectrum light. The Hypothalamus is involved in proper feather development and skin. The Pineal Gland controls the cyclical process such as molting and the reproductive cycle. Birds have four color vision and the lower wavelength (UVA) adds the fourth visual perspective. Correct spectrum and photoperiod of light are also critical factors in normal preening as well as the skin and feather health of birds. If a bird's system is not stimulated through adequate environmental lighting to maintain proper endocrine function, it may become lethargic and not continue normal preening behaviors.

*Glass windows filter out up to 90% of the beneficial UV spectrum unless that glass was made pre 1939. Aluminum screening used can filter out 30% or more UV light. High-grade acrylic (cages) filters out less that 5% of the UV light.

Please keep in mind that this lighting should be used during the daytime hours. It is recommended that you use a timer so that the light goes on and off at specific times each day.
