HappyBird Lighting Bird Cage Light with Chew Guard - Full Spectrum LED Pet Light - Simulates Natural Environment - Safe for Hookbill Birds – Easy to Install - (18" Long)

Glad I splurged on a top quality light for my 4 boys who seem to love it, especially on overcast days. They’re definitely more active than they were with their previous lighting. Added bonus - their colours appear brighter and truer as well. There’s no on/off switch but it’s easy enough to plug in. The fixture itself is lightweight and sits flat on the top of my cage without any extra support needed. Very happy with this purchase.

I bought this light for our cockatiel. Our home doesn’t let in a lot of natural light and, even making an effort to put his cage in front of a window, I worry that he’s not getting enough light. You can tell that this light kit was designed by someone who understands birds and how to make products which are sturdy and safe enough for them. When I saw that the long power cable was protected by steel conduit, I knew that this was the right choice and I wasn’t wrong. After the initial shock of something new on his cage, he immediately seemed to appreciate the new light and he spent several minutes just kind of looking around as if he were seeing his various toys for the first time, which might literally be the case considering that parrots see differently from us, including UV. This light emits UVA but not UVB, meaning that they’ll appreciate the improved visual (to them) spectrum but also that their eyes will be safe from harm. This also means that we’ll need to continue to ensure that they get enough vitamin D through their diet. My homework led me to understand that while full spectrum bulbs (UVA+UVB) can help birds to create vitamin D, there’s significant concern that those bulbs put birds at great risk for cataracts and other eye conditions. This M&M light kit is presumably safe. I bought the 18” model with chew guard. It uses about 11.5W of power according to my meter and remains cool to the touch. Their website indicates that if, in the worst case scenario, the bird was able to get ahold of the unshielded power cable and chew through it, the voltage is too low to cause harm. I’m not using the included timer but instead a smart outlet, and if I were to do it again I’d probably skip the kit with timer and just buy the light with power supply. I’ll be controlling it manually but if I want to set a timer, I can do that through home automation. It’s working great so far. I bought this light kit mostly for his general happiness and to support his circadian rhythm. It’s only been a day but he seems to love it so far and I really couldn’t be happier.

So far, This light is fab! Firstly,you do not need a timer for this to work as long as you can turn off at the plug,you're good. The light is sturdy and bright. Chip,My kakariki immediately cheered up when i put this in his cage after having a sulky 24hrs without a light. Previously had an Acadia mini light for 12 months before it stopped working. This feels so much more secure than the Acadia,bearing in mind these lights are not cheap.{excuse the pun!} Ive never left a review before,thats how impressed I am. Will update if things change.

Très bon produit éclairage parfait j'ai une autre cage je rachete en 60cm

Bright, doesn't heat up, and actually seems chew proof! I bought an 18" for a 24" degu cage, great size. Unfortunately because of the ledges I had to mount it on the door but the included hardware worked perfectly even for my mad plan. Fastest, easiest installation ever. The girls haven't stopped sunbathing since they got it! One is literally pressed up against it right now. Ordering a second one immediately for the bottom half of the cage.
