Tuesday, November 22, 2011 FeatherBrite 15 Watt Full-Spectrum Bulb Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been using the featherbrite light bulb for 3 years now.Every year I purchase a new one so that my parrots will receive all the benefits of full spectrum lighting.
I like the the featherbrite bulb becuase it doesn't generate a lot of heat.I have the lightbulb in a clamp light which I keep on the cage.I even use a timer.
Since I have been using this type of lighting my parrots have been looking healthier, their feathers are shinier and they seem happier.I swear by full spectrum lighting.

Product Description:
Full-spectrum lighting has been shown to be beneficial to birds by mimicking a bird's natural environment. Birds need UV rays and can become depressed after several years with seeing any UV. Major health benefits full-spectrum light will provide are, strengthens the immune system, relieves psychological distress, aids in Vitamin D synthesis, encourages breeding behavior and also increases the longevity of the captive bird.

Thursday, March 31, 2011 Zoo Med AS-C5 Avian Sun 5.0 Compact Florescent Bulb Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The product arrived as expected, quickly and in a box. I screwed it in and it appeared to work, but when I attempted to screw it back out I inadvertently applied a bit of pressure to the base of the tubes because I could not easily unscrew the base, and one of the tubes cracked. Entirely my fault, but the tiny bit of pressure that was applied would not have damaged similar fluorescents that I have used (i.e. bug lights), so I have subsequently gone to a sturdier, if not quite as "full spectrum" product.
